I stayed at the Garden Hotel again during the May Golden Week holiday to watch the Longines Global Champions Tour in Shanghai.
My first stay at the Garden Hotel was 30 years ago. The marble in the lobby, the Rose restaurant, and the small mosaic tiles in the corridors still maintain their grand and elegant style. That's why I always come back to this familiar place whenever I return to China.
It was a family member's birthday on the day we checked in, and the hotel gave us a box of rich chocolates. I was truly touched by the hotel's thoughtfulness, it made us very happy!
**Facilities**: The TOTO toilet at the Garden Hotel is my favorite because of its washlet function, making going to the restroom so comfortable! The depth and length of the bathtub are also perfect for me. The slippers are very thick and durable; I always feel reluctant to throw them away when checking out. I even take the used slippers with me to wear on planes or high-speed trains.
**Hygiene**: The hygiene details are impeccable. The towels are soft and comfortable, with dense loops, making them very reassuring to use on the skin.
**Environment**: The hotel has its own garden, where you can enjoy a rare tranquility in the city of Shanghai during a morning stroll! Just one traffic light to the left of the hotel entrance, there are many small bars and restaurants! There are even two Michelin-starred restaurants! It's definitely worth a walk and exploring.
**Service**: I bought many things online, and they were delivered to the hotel in batches. The concierge meticulously recorded everything and delivered them to our room! When we left, the concierge helped put our luggage in the car trunk, opened and closed the doors, and politely bid us farewell.
**Welcome Package**: We received canned drinks and snacks, which was a nice surprise!FromBRL 500

The overall decor is exquisitely refined, with a strong New Chinese aesthetic that creates a gentle and romantic atmosphere. It offers a tranquil escape amidst the urban buzz, making a stay here feel like stepping into a healing paradise. Both the ambiance and style are top-notch.
The check-in experience far exceeded my expectations. The front desk kindly offered a complimentary room upgrade to one with a 270° panoramic view. Opening the window reveals breathtaking views of the Bund and its surroundings, equally stunning by day and night. The unobstructed vistas are perfect for photos, making every shot picture-perfect. The scenic experience is truly flawless.
The hotel service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. The staff were gentle and meticulous throughout my stay, making me feel right at home. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised with fresh fruit and champagne, showcasing their attention to detail and creating a warm and delightful experience. The service quality is impeccable.
The breakfast was also outstanding, with a rich and varied selection of both Chinese and Western dishes.

I’m so glad I chose the Mehood Elegant Hotel. It was the perfect location — close to everything, not too crowded, yet not too remote either. I traveled solo with my 14-month-old toddler, and he was absolutely spoiled by all the hotel staff. Everyone treated us with so much kindness and care.
Jerry checked us in and out and even gave me a cute fridge magnet. The breakfast was delicious with so many options to choose from, the rooms were cleaned daily, and bottled water was always replenished.
Xiao Jun also took great care of us, and Yinhe Juan felt like an auntie to us. We looked forward to seeing them every morning at breakfast. They all made my stay feel so warm and welcoming — truly like a home away from home.

As a five-star hotel, both the service and facilities are quite good. I've always heard that Westin's family rooms are great, and I got to experience one on this trip to Shanghai. I won't go into detail about the good aspects, but I do have a few suggestions:
1. For a family room, there actually aren't many kids' amenities, just a few stuffed animals. For example, a step stool could be provided in the bathroom for children.
2. The sink in the bathroom constantly accumulates water on the inner side. I'm not sure if it's due to the countertop's angle or something else, but I hope it can be adjusted.
3. The toilet paper holder in the WC is too far inward, making it inconvenient to grab paper. If you pull hard, the roll might fall off. Moving the holder forward, reversing its direction, or moving it to the right side would all be good solutions.
Overall, I hope Westin continues to improve as a high-end hotel. I look forward to experiencing it again next time!FromBRL 710

Before, a hotel was just a place to sleep, but this time I discovered that a staycation, just chilling at the hotel, is a truly unique and incredibly comfortable way to recharge. You don't have to venture out; you can completely rejuvenate your mind and body.
This hotel is like the Haidilao of hotels – the service is incredibly attentive.
I booked all the available wellness classes in advance through the hotel's mini-program, filling my entire day. ******* singing bowl sound therapy, various yoga sessions, breathwork and meditation, body restoration, and different versions of Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade) – it was a fully immersive relaxation experience that kept me engaged all day long.
Like Haidilao, the hotel staff were exceptionally attentive and caring throughout. They offered constitution tests, chakra assessments, restorative treatments, guided various classes, and even provided travel photography services. Many of these activities are simply unavailable at other hotels, like meditating and doing yoga at sunrise while watching peacocks.
After check-in, I received a thermos filled with a wellness drink tailored to my constitution. After happy hour, there was a salad, and a warm, comforting soup was delivered before bed. The next morning, another thermos with a hot drink was waiting outside my door. The self-service breakfast drinks were also delicious, natural, and refreshing; I completely lost interest in milk tea after trying them.
The entire hotel exudes a relaxing ambiance. As you step out of the elevator, there's a faint ginger scent. The bedtime fragrance is citrusy, which is incredibly calming, and there are 15 types of pillows to choose from.
I especially loved the white noise machine in the room; it has 9 sound effects to choose from, helping me fall asleep quickly, and it also charges my phone.
Guests also receive custom clothing and slippers. They resemble chef's uniforms and are exceptionally comfortable. Regardless of age or gender, wearing this outfit to classes, meals, or just strolling around felt completely natural, fostering a relaxed atmosphere throughout the hotel, without any sense of formality.
No long-distance travel, no crowded attractions – just quietly staying at the hotel allowed me to fully replenish my depleted energy. This niche staycation is truly a wonderful way for modern people to recharge, offering both ease and healing.FromBRL 910

When we couldn't find the restaurant, the uncle cleaning at the entrance immediately became our guide and led us right to the restaurant door! When we locked our room card inside while at the hot springs, the hot spring staff immediately contacted someone to open the door for us. Upon check-out, we even received a thoughtful farewell gift!

The hotel room facilities are good, with everything that should be there. The smoking area outside is also very beautiful. The breakfast in the morning is very good, it is self-service, and there are freshly made noodles to eat. If you are thirsty, you can go downstairs at any time to have some drinks and fruits, which are all included in the hotel package. Why the deduction? Like many reviews wrote, the water in the pool here is really too hot. It is the hottest of all the hot springs in Shanghai that I have been to. It feels too hot. I saw that several children could hardly soak in the water for a while. I don’t know why so many people complained. I saw that the management was still saying in the comments that it met the hot spring temperature requirements. What they said is that your water is too hot, and they are giving you suggestions. Everyone in the hot spring said that the water was hot, not that you violated any regulations... It takes talent to reply like thisFromBRL 293

I visited Qianyun after looking at dozens of places in the area. I wanted to be away from typical city area, have a bathtub and nice outdoor area, and with easy access to Shanghai Disneyland. Qianyun met all those requirements and more! The location was immediately very serene and surrounded by forest, but still easy to access lots of waimai food delivery options. They were also very kind and proactive about sharing information about local restaurants and activities, and provide a breakfast and evening fruit every day. They offer free car transport to Disneyland, and I was excited to use this service but I ended up enjoying my time at the hotel so much that I opted to stay and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere instead! The hotel pets are so friendly - within five minutes the little cat Banban was on my lap and purring.
The room itself is decorated very nicely with all the amenities you need. The bathtub inside is very comfortable and I loved the outdoor hot spring tub as well. The attention to hygiene is very highly emphasized and I was impressed with how clean and luxurious everything felt.
I will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone hoping to have a convenient getaway from the city, or who would like to be near to Disneyland Resort while also experiencing a more peaceful area and for a good economical value and high quality service!

The staff is welcoming and friendly. The hotel is clean and the room was spacious! Check in was a breeze. We opted for the family room and it had a separate living area and bedroom. It was super nice. We had a view of Nanjing Rd and heard zero noise from the bustling road below us. They provided complimentary tea and coffee in the room along with a mini fridge filled with various items ( drinks, beer, water and chocolates)
They provided a safe, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, slippers and robes.

The location is great, near Jing'an Temple. I've been to Shanghai many times but never visited Jing'an Temple before. This Ritz-Carlton is the first one in China, and although it's older, the facilities are very well-maintained. The room size is smaller than other Ritz-Carltons, but 38 square meters is still perfectly adequate. Personally, I feel the overall style is different from other Ritz-Carltons, more like the Four Seasons in Sydney. The hotel's Western restaurant specializes in Italian cuisine, but the grilled sea bream was covered in chili powder, almost like something a chef from Northeast China would prepare. Honestly, with an apartment complex full of expats right next door, it's hard to believe the restaurant's chef would have such an odd cooking style. It would be too bizarre if it were a troll following me everywhere. During this trip, I ate at the hotel restaurant twice, and both à la carte dishes had chili. After that, I avoided eating at the hotel during my stay, except for the buffet.FromBRL 954

You can really feel its age here. It's 97 years old, and entering the room felt like stepping into a single-person apartment. The bedroom takes up half the space, with the other half comprising a walk-in closet, a tea/coffee counter, and the bathroom (which isn't small, and I quite liked its layout). It has wooden floors, and the TV is tucked away in a wooden cabinet. When you turn on the TV, there's an introduction to the Peace Hotel. There's also a museum with a very detailed and insightful explanation. In the evening, the bar offers a taste of Shanghai's unique charm, and there were quite a few foreigners enjoying themselves. The indoor pool isn't very big, more like a family-sized pool. I originally came to soak in the atmosphere of the past, and walking around the hotel, I really savored that unique, old-world charm that is so characteristic of the Peace Hotel. Moments from old movies kept flashing in my mind – truly extraordinary...
I heard they're planning to redecorate the Peace Hotel?! I sincerely hope the Peace Hotel never loses its unique and authentic essence!

I came to Shanghai for a boring May Day holiday and booked a Pullman suite.
The hotel was very busy, which really tested their reception capacity.
Accor Pullman in France is pretty good, with a nice design, and the aromatherapy scent is the same as in Hong Kong.
Facilities: Higher floor rooms would be better; try to choose a high-floor room to avoid the smell of mugwort from downstairs.
Transportation: Downstairs are Sun & Moon Light, Tianzifang, and the subway, so coming directly is very convenient for city work.
24th Floor Executive Lounge Supreme Experience: The executive lounge is great, with high-altitude views.
Dining: Both breakfast and the executive lounge are good, but there are too many foreigners – mostly Koreans and Westerners. The noodle chef even paused for a moment when he heard me speak Chinese, and then switched his language system. Koreans were coolly showing off watermelon, taking five plates at a time.FromBRL 550

We booked the Kempinski for Children's Day, hoping to create a wonderful memory for our child. As a popular spot for its 'influencer-worthy' pool, the Kempinski truly lives up to its reputation. It has a distinct beauty both day and night, and I really felt the charm of Shanghai. The driver told me that many people come specifically to take photos of the hotel with the Oriental Pearl Tower – it’s a classic shot.
Now for a few minor issues: Our room had a great view (as shown in the picture), but the bathroom felt a bit dated and wasn't ideal. For a bubble bath, the water pressure wasn't strong enough, and the bubbles didn't quite materialize. This is a small point. Also, I found the Black Forest cake to be just average.
However, the burger we ordered for in-room dining (Picture 7) was absolutely delicious! It was huge, and I ate the whole thing. It came with truffle mayonnaise, and the patty was firm and juicy – highly, highly recommended! The price was definitely 'Kempinski-level,' but the taste, like private chef quality, was excellent.
I asked for an extra children's amenity kit for the room, and they provided a small bag that even included a Children's Day toy (Picture 14).
I also bought some ice cream, chocolates, and macarons from the lobby. The ice cream was the best – the strawberry flavor I had even had large pieces of real strawberry, which was a pleasant surprise! Ms. Julia Li was incredibly thoughtful and suggested I place the order through Dianping, showing great consideration for the customer. Big kudos to her!
