It’s a great place for longer stays in Shanghai. It’s right next to the harbor and Pearl Tower The room has everything an apartment would have like mini kitchen, microwave, sink, tableware, stove and oven. In the room is even a washer and bathrooms have a bidet which is huge deal if you are already used to that at home.
Location is basically connected to a upscale mall where there is all the high-end brands, the type when you walk in, it smells like roses. There is also a big Apple Store. There are lots of restaurants and even a Shake Shack burger joint so you can get a relief from the local food. It’s got a nice heated pool on the top floor with a sauna and fitness center. There is a little place where the kids can play which was a lifesaver if you got little kids.
There is this “living room” common area on the 3rd floor where breakfast is served, it’s got a bunch of couches and tables so you can chill out and drink some free coffee all day. That layer has also a outdoor patio where you can sit outside under the tall buildings. Business center is really decent with computers, printers, a copier and shredder. You have to walk through this common area and take another elevator to get to the lobby, it’s a little inconvenient but not a big deal. The only negative point is the breakfast which could try a little harder. It just does not match how nice everything else is. Overall I would recommend this hotel and stay there again.
