Courtyard By Marriott Pinghu

On the edge of Pinghu in Jiaxing, steps from Pinghu Dong Lake and East Lake of Pinghu. Xitang Ancient Town sits about 38 km away and Hongqiao International Airport is roughly 56 km drive — easy for quick arrivals and lake-side escapes.

A modern take on Jiangnan garden style with gray-and-white tones, bamboo accents and a calm outdoor patio. The hotel has 80 rooms and suites with French windows, window-side loungers and balconies that frame garden or lake views. Rooms feature mini-fridges, complimentary minibar items, LCD TVs and ergonomic work areas.

Free Wi-Fi and free self-parking onsite. Stay-fit gym, bar and lobby lounge, plus concierge services and daily housekeeping. Relax in the garden areas or enjoy outdoor dining on the patio — wake up to lake-breeze mornings when you snag a balcony room.

High-speed internet throughout the hotel, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and on-site dry cleaning/laundry. Safes and a concierge make business travel smooth.

Two on-site venues: Pavilion all-day dining (indoor and outdoor seating, buffet of local and international dishes) and Eight, a Chinese restaurant highlighting Cantonese specialties and local seafood with private dining rooms. The Lobby Lounge serves coffee, cocktails and light bites. Weekday buffet breakfasts are offered (6:30–10:30) for a fee.
