Banyan Tree Hotels in 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!

We came to Banyan Tree Yangcheng Lake during off-peak hours. The hotel environment is excellent, the lakeside scenery is intoxicating, the restaurant is elegant and the atmosphere is pleasant. However, the quality of Mingyue breakfast needs to be improved. The selection and taste of dishes are not up to the standards of high-end hotels, which is a bit regrettable. The service is particularly outstanding. Special thanks to an enthusiastic and professional guest, Ambassador Yang, who took the initiative to assist in arranging the itinerary, from checking in and taking the boat to arranging dinner, as well as the introduction of the surrounding environment. The meticulous and thoughtful service made us feel warm and added a lot to the overall experience. I hope that the breakfast can be optimized at the same time. With such an ambassador serving attentively, we believe that it will be more perfect next time. It also makes us feel that the Banyan Tree Yangcheng Lake Hotel will be our first choice when we come to Suzhou next time~
