Millennium Hotels and Resorts recently launched the stunning M Social Suzhou. The fifth hotel under the iconic M Social brand and the first to debut in China, M Social Suzhou is setting the scene as an innovative luxury lifestyle hotel offering guests an elevated and memorable experience.

Expanding the M Social Brand
“The M Social brand is about creativity, connection, and exciting possibilities. Often known as the “Venice of the East” for its quaint water canals and bridges around the city, we selected Suzhou as the launch pad for our first M Social hotel in China due to the city’s unique blend of tradition and modernity. The hotel is designed to reflect this vibrant juxtaposition. It offers guests a fresh and luxurious experience with state-of-the-art technology, and our bespoke M Social service,” said Mr Kwek Leng Beng, Executive Chairman of Millennium & Copthorne Hotels Limited.
MHR plans to grow the brand in more physical locations including London, New York, Sunnyvale, Phuket and key cities in the Middle East.
