DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Wuxi Lingshan

DoubleTree Resort by Hilton Wuxi Lingshan is a lakeside Hilton resort at No. 99 Qifeng Guangdi in Mashan, Binhu District, Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, overlooking Taihu Lake and next to the Lingshan Grand Buddha scenic area. Lingshan is among the most visited sights in the Wuxi region, centred on the towering bronze Grand Buddha, the Brahma Palace and the landscaped grounds at the foot of the hills on the lake's northern shore. The resort's position beside the scenic area allows guests to visit early or late in the day, outside peak tour-bus hours, and the Taihu shoreline is on its doorstep. Central Wuxi is some distance away by road, so the resort functions as a self-contained destination for leisure travellers, families and groups rather than a convenient base for the old city. DoubleTree is Hilton's upscale brand, known for the warm cookie handed to guests at check-in. Rooms are offered as Deluxe Rooms, Executive Rooms and Suites, many with lake or garden outlooks, and amenities include wifi, a concierge desk, a fitness centre, a spa and a restaurant. Dining is based on an all-day restaurant serving a breakfast buffet and Chinese and international dishes, with Taihu fish and shrimp and Jiangnan flavours featuring on regional menus. The spa and fitness facilities suit guests seeking a relaxing break after visiting the Buddha site and walking the lakeside. Service is leisure-oriented and family-friendly, with English-speaking staff typical of the brand. Rates of roughly CNY 700 to 1,500 per night place it in the luxury range for the Wuxi region, with prices rising on weekends and public holidays when Lingshan draws large crowds.
