History
Blossom House Zhouzhuang (also marketed as Blossom Hill Inn Zhouzhuang) occupies the historic Dai Residence in the ancient water town of Zhouzhuang, about 1.5 hours from Shanghai. The property is a renovation of three old courtyard buildings in the local Ming-dynasty style; the residence was originally built in the early Republican era by three Dai brothers, merchants from Zhejiang, and arranged in the traditional Jiangnan water-town layout of shop-front, riverside dwelling and deep courtyards. Before conversion the buildings had been divided into a museum, a tea house, a guesthouse and an abandoned structure.
Designed by Dariel Studio and completed in May 2012, the renovation reconstructed the compound into a 20-suite heritage boutique hotel while preserving its architectural fabric. The guestrooms are organized into four seasonal zones according to their sunlight and orientation, each named after a seasonal flower such as Blossom, Lotus, Sweet Olive and Cymbidium.
