Greetings, this is my first stay in Banyan Tree brand in Accor portfolio, and I must say, it is near perfect. The hotel has his own style and advantages, Of course I checked in very late, almost at midnight, and everybody were very tired, so we had some questions about the deposit size, they forgot to give me room keys, etc, the second thing, everybody from the staff mentions, that they are NOT part of the Accor, but just partners. We are just partners, we are just partners, we are just partners. however, I liked this stay more, than Raffles Shenzhen previous day, among the good things: - strong upgrade to Diamond member - 4 or 5 categories higher - Good welcome amenities with Prosecco - great room, rooftop bar view on the Bund and the main Shanghai part, - check out at strong 6 pm - breakfast is good with some interesting black sausages with fish, a lot of salmon, but highlights are absent, grapefruit juice is also not freshly squeezed. Lounge is absent in the hotel, and this is the part of hotel chain policy. The pool in the room looks dramatically attractive, but the functionality is less, the water level could no be higher, and Jacuzzi functions are absent . Hardware is 5*, Japanese technology toilets, pool in the room, aromatherapy in the room, etc. Real oasis in the busy city center. overall, thanks for the stay, 5*, please do not underestimate yourself, even you are not Accor part, but partnership, this hotel is more Accor than some real Accors itself :)
