Banyan Tree Suzhou Shishan

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!

This was our 2nd anniversary and we chose to have a romantic hot spring stay at this resort. The checkin was smooth and we were initially impressed with our room. Later on to my horror, I noticed that people walking by could see our hot spring which was completely exposed. Luckily, the staff were very understandable and switched us to an upgraded indoor room. The ambience of the room was filled with love and my partner was very happy 😉.

蘇州之旅第11站-蘇州盡然有2家悦榕莊！！！ 從做攻略才知道，蘇州盡然有2家悦榕莊，而且獅山悦榕莊還搭配了悦椿，這個規模真的大！今天就來一探究竟，看看蘇州為啥能吸引悦榕莊開2！ 導航：定位準確，是在獅子山十八景的一側，從酒店就能看到獅子山。 環境：24年開業的悦榕莊，主打一個新和熟。 新：環境和硬件以及綠植，都是新的，我就喜歡新酒店。同時也融入了很多蘇州園林的風格，從酒店綠植和房間前院等設計都能看到，這些都是融合了蘇州特色的新設計。 熟：室內設計，從大堂到公區再到房間設備，正宗的悦榕莊感覺，太熟悉這宗感覺了，好像回到家一樣，特別是看到房間綠色的毛巾，我就知道回家啦。 房間設施：進入房間會有一個前院，接着就來到房間內。洗漱間很貼心的做了3分離，把廁所分開，這也是近年來許多酒店做的一種分區，我喜歡這點。再步入一點，就能看到大大的落地窗和室外的泡池，以及室外搭配的蘇式綠植，這個值得點贊 。推薦大家選這個房型，在户外泡池的空間也多了點。mini bar除了酒精飲品外都是免費，燒水壺也沒有水漬！但比較可惜的是對比東莞的悦榕莊，吧枱少了一些雞尾酒杯和紅酒杯，少了自調的酒吧氛圍，也許是一種改變。衞生：新酒店就是好，泡池也刷的很乾凈，衞生不用擔心。 早餐：早餐是半自助形式，復刻了廣式茶樓的風格和設計，會讓你突然來到廣東喝早茶的感覺。主食是叫服務員下單的，其他的蛋糕小點心就是自取。 早餐環境對着獅子山，一早就清新靜目。缺點是就是室內用餐空間不大，基本上要等個10分鐘以上才有空位，這點還是需要改善的。 再次打卡的機率：100% 獅子山悦榕莊。從服務到硬件，可以説是近年來中國悦榕莊排名前3了，硬件設施先進，服務態度暖心，酒店整體環境融入了蘇式風格，從你步入那一刻，就好像回到家一樣～
