Shanghai Xujiahui A.T.HOUSE Jia Di Hotel

Walking out of the metro station and turning the corner brings you right to the door—super convenient. The hotel is just steps away from Xujiahui Cathedral and Xujiahui Library, with luxury shopping hubs like Hongkong Plaza and Meiluo City nearby. If you're heading to Shanghai Stadium or Sports Arena for a concert, it's only one stop on the metro—or even easier, a short walk or bike ride away. This A.T.HOUSE property has that modern art vibe I love. The second-floor afternoon tea lounge and late-night dining spot are both stylish and inviting. The pastries are delicious, and the chicken soup wontons as well as the pork-filled dumplings are seriously satisfying. I was originally booked into a room type that wasn’t available yet, but the team kindly upgraded me to a Premium Suite—huge upgrade in space, view, and design. Everything felt thoughtfully curated. I ordered fresh fruit platters after my concert, and they arrived at my door in no time. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the service throughout was top-notch. Even at check-out, they handed me a lovely souvenir—a large record-shaped biscuit box that’s both cute and tasty. If there’s another concert in town, this will be my go-to hotel again.

Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai

Staying at Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai during New Year's was an absolute highlight for our family. The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk from Exit 2 of Line 2, right next to the Ocean Park, and the view from our river-facing room was stunning, with panoramic views of the North Bund. A short stroll along the riverside promenade leads straight to Plaza 66, where you can see the iconic foreign-style buildings of the Bund across the Huangpu River. We spent hours walking by the water, soaking in the skyline and the festive atmosphere. The breakfast spread was impressive—offering a wide variety of dishes, served from 6 AM to 11 AM on weekends and until 10:30 AM on weekdays. It’s perfect for travelers who want a relaxed start to the day. As a hotel founded by German entrepreneurs in the 18th century, it carries a timeless elegance that’s rare to find today. High-end amenities, exceptional service, and a truly memorable stay—this place offers incredible value and charm. Definitely a top pick for anyone visiting Shanghai.

My first trip to Shanghai this year was absolutely perfect, thanks to the recommendation from a friend who insisted I stay at The PuLi Hotel and Spa.

Radisson Collection Hotel,Xing Guo Shanghai

I’ve passed by this hotel countless times while commuting, always dreaming of staying here—and finally made it happen. The moment I stepped into the grand lobby with its soaring ceiling and dazzling crystal chandelier, I knew this was going to be special. The property sits on nearly 60,000 square meters of private garden, making it feel like a hidden European estate right in the heart of bustling Shanghai. From the very first greeting, the service was exceptional—Esther from front desk went above and beyond: upgraded our room, offered a two-hour late check-out without hesitation, and even shared her WeChat for easy communication. That kind of personal touch is rare. Breakfast was an absolute highlight—huge variety, beautifully presented. From freshly steamed dim sum and handmade noodles to a wide selection of breads, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and even ice cream, every detail was thoughtfully curated. But what truly stole the show was the garden. Lush green lawns, mature trees casting dappled sunlight, historic buildings nestled among foliage—perfect for quiet strolls or Instagram-worthy shots. Every corner feels like a scene from a film. The pool is clean and refreshingly salty—almost like swimming in the sea! Plus, there are two hot tubs nearby, perfect for unwinding. The changing rooms are spacious, with full amenities including a sauna, steam room, and even a lounge area with TV where you can just lie back and relax.

It was an unforgettable New Year’s getaway—serene, elegant, and utterly luxurious.
