Banyan Tree Shanghai on the Bund is the fourth urban resort in the Banyan Tree Group, located in Shanghai's iconic Bund area, across the river from the Lujiazui financial and trade district. The average travel time from the hotel to Shanghai's various commercial and trade centers and major tourist attractions is 30 minutes.
Similar to The Puli Shanghai's tranquil style, Banyan Tree on the Bund is committed to creating a secluded resort in the heart of the city, facing the Huangpu River and adjacent to the riverside park.
Compared with the surrounding skyscrapers, Banyan Tree is only 12 storeys high, but its guest room size is the largest in the city, and the most basic room type is also 60 square meters, and the price is also as high as about 2,300 yuan a night. Due to its low height and large room size, Banyan Tree on the Bund has only 130 rooms, and it is small compared to the surrounding five-star business hotels.
The rooms are equipped with oversized windows and unobstructed panoramic views overlooking both sides of the Pujiang River, while the interior is upholstered in elegant wood and neutral fabrics, and the background wall of the bedroom is decorated with twigs, a large round bathtub with river views, a marble countertop with double sinks, and a rainforest-style shower, which is comparable to a spa. All rooms are equipped with iPod access alarm clocks, complimentary soft drinks from the in-room minibar, complimentary high-speed wired and wireless broadband Internet access, in-room safes, Nespresso coffee and tea making facilities, convenience boxes, and flat-screen LCD TVs.
The level of service provided by Banyan Tree Shanghai on the Bund is sometimes difficult to describe, such as the lack of timely treatment of water temperature and air-conditioning, the lack of meticulous cleaning of guest rooms, and the lack of timely maintenance and care of aging hardware, which is difficult to match the Banyan Tree sign.
The size of the venue is also very small. 4 meeting rooms of different sizes, which can accommodate 10-90 guests through different combinations, can only host small and medium-sized meetings, forums or corporate events. There is also a ballroom that can accommodate up to 130 people, which can accommodate medium-sized wedding receptions, parties and stylish events. Business hardware facilities can meet the basic meeting needs.
Banyan Tree Lounge, STARS rooftop open-air bar, South Horizons Western Restaurant, Moyu Chinese Restaurant and Thai Flat Japanese Restaurant are also relatively rich in size. The Banyan Tree Spa, gymnasium, indoor swimming pool and 3 specially designed relaxation pools are the perfect places for residents to relax and unwind.
