Staying at The Kunlun Jing An in Shanghai was an absolute highlight, especially since we needed a quiet hotel close to the exam venue for my child. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk from the testing center and well-connected by metro. We requested a quiet room in advance, and the hotel not only accommodated it but exceeded expectations with total attention to detail. The room was peaceful, spotless, and cleaned promptly each day. The housekeeping staff were warm, attentive, and always checking in to see if we needed anything—truly personalized service. One of the standout experiences was the 38th-floor lounge: breathtaking views, elegant ambiance, and impeccable service. Their afternoon tea was delicious, making it perfect for relaxing or even informal business meetings. Every aspect of this stay felt thoughtfully curated.

Staying at The Drama Hotel in Shanghai was an absolute delight. Each room features a personalized name projected onto the wall, perfectly matching the hotel’s theatrical theme—especially cool since it's right next to Sleep No More and across from The St. Regis. Parking is convenient and costs the same as what you’d pay at The St. Regis, which is a nice surprise. The lighting throughout the hotel has a dramatic, stage-like flair, but don’t worry—our room got plenty of natural light when we opened the curtains. The staff were exceptional: friendly floor attendants and cheerful front desk team members who even handed us a little gift bag for our kids when we checked out. And the fridge? Fully stocked with complimentary drinks—beer included, no need to think twice. It’s rare to find such thoughtful touches combined with great style and value. This place feels like a hidden gem. I’ll definitely be back.

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.

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.
