The Banyan Tree provides the perfect retreat to end your holiday in style after experiencing the hustle and bustle of Shanghai, one of the world's biggest mega cities, less than three hours drive away. From here you can stroll through the peaceful gardens, take boat trips through the wetlands to enjoy some bird-watching or perhaps visit the nearby West Lake to enjoy one of China's most spectacular sunsets. The city centre remains just a 15 minute drive away.

Comprised of 36 villas and 36 suites, connected by an iconic arching bridge, the Banyan Tree offers sumptuous accommodation with fabulous views across the lake or the wetlands from large balconies. Spacious rooms are constructed from traditional tiled roofs and ivory walls and classically decorated, with contemporary furnishings and facilities accompanied by elaborate Chinese murals.

Guests can peruse the collection of books in the hotel's traditional library, shop for gifts and handicrafts in its shop and enjoy a range of treatments from specially trained therapists in the renowned spa.

Perhaps the most memorable part of your stay will be one of the many romantic fine dining experiences offered by the Banyan Tree. Guests can savour intimate meals in style on the lakeside, under an elegantly decorated canopy in the peaceful gardens or whilst drifting down the tranquil waterways on a small boat, either for dinner or afternoon tea. For a more relaxed experience, you can even enjoy a Chinese barbecue prepared and cooked for you in the comfort of your own villa.
