Good to Know
Amanzoe
- The beach club and hillside pavilions are a genuine shuttle ride apart — factor that into how you plan your days.
- About 2.5 hours by car from Athens, or a shorter transfer via the resort's private helicopter option.
- Best May through October; many facilities scale back or close over winter.
The Sukhothai Shanghai
- Setting: the Jing'an district beside HKRI Taikoo Hui, within walking distance of West Nanjing Road.
- Eligible stays participate in GHA DISCOVERY, including DISCOVERY Dollars and tier recognition.
- The hotel is part of a large mixed-use complex, but its courts and subdued interiors create meaningful separation from the retail surroundings.
