Hotel Banyan Tree a Suzhou

Lovely new hotel, I feel so spoiled by them it’s going to be hard to go back to normal hotels. The room is so so spacious, even without considering the courtyard space. The room was designed with relaxation in mind - bath tub with bath salts, all sorts of tea bags and tea leaves, incense, essential oil. We even got fragrance pouches when we arrived. The hot tub in the courtyard is also really nice to soak in, just a bit cold in winter because you have to walk out from the cozy bedroom into the courtyard. On Christmas Eve they even gave us a cute bamboo muffin cupcake with a snowman topper. Our room came with breakfast, which was a good thing because the hotel is very far from everything else. Breakfast quality is passable, but the restaurant manager on duty on our first two days was much more attentive than the one on our last day, which is ironic as there were more customers on the first two days due to a tour group being there. There are two malls that are about 5-10 mins drive away, but I recommend paradise walk over golden eagle as the former has more shops operating. Apart from the location of the hotel being one downside, another downside was the location of our room as we had to pass through a flight of stairs. So we had to get the staff to help with the luggage since there were too many steps to climb to get to the hotel lobby. Nonetheless it was a very nice hotel! Would recommend for short stays to pamper yourself!

Fantastic newly opened hotel. Employees are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are fantastic and the hotel atmosphere allows to relax. Perfect for some stacation and business eventd outside of shanghai. Martin is awesome, always checking in and delivers excellent service. Super Hotel am YangCheng Lake. Das Hotel hat neu eröffnet. Die Zimmer am See haben einen super Ausblick und bieten maximale Erholung. Die Nähe zu Shanghai bietet eine gute Möglichkeit für einen Erholungstrip oder für Businessevents. Martin Yang lieferte exzellenten service und spricht etwas deutsch, was ihn noch sympathischer macht.
