Wanda Vista Shenyang

From Kempinski to Wanda, something is different. Different locations different decorations and different experience. Wanda has wonderful views and stores. The traffic is also very convenient. The rooms are much moderner and More Chinese style. If you want to try some traditional Chinese stuffs, Wanda is really a good choice. Kempinski is a wonderful luxury hotel with long glorious history. Their service and customer care are the top of the world. The good news is Mrs. Chi Xin and her colleagues made me had the same experience in Wanda Vista Shenyang. Booked me the room, introduced the hotel's equipments and benefits,and also showed me the local attractions. Everything was detailed and thoughtful. Anyway it was a great experience in Wanda Vista Shenyang. Thanks Mrs. Chi Xin and her colleagues so much!

I had a great stay here and I was accommodated very well by fantastic staff of Wanda Vista. In the morning, my day starts freshly with the kind accommodation of Ms. Li Na, who was in charge of breakfast buffet. Overall, it is a very good stay and I will come here again.

The Wanda Vista Shenyang is a very elegant hotel, conveniently located opposites downtown Shenyang, with a nice skyline to watch. Metro, restaurants, bars and a shopping centre are nearby. Taxi is cheap, for 11-20 RMB you are almost everywhere downtown. Staff gets a taxi in 1-3 minutes, day and night. The shopping centre is nice with many good restaurants. I enjoyed three different room categories during my stay, ranging from Standard to “Wanda Club” to Executive. All rooms are very similar in size and furniture, except some toiletries, bathrobes, or small decoration which are different. The executive rooms, however, permit access to a very nice lounge with free drinks, breakfast and dinner and a spectacular view at night. The lounge is very elegant and well serviced. Good view, good food, good service. Breakfast is extensive, people who complain about the offerings I would consider to be very spoiled. Pool and sauna I didn’t use too much, appeared not so nice to me, honestly. Cozy atmosphere was missing, was a bit like a training hall for swimmers. There is some room for improvement. All service staff is extremely helpful and service minded, they know your wishes even before you ask... Among all staff who were super friendly, Ken from the guest relations department shall be given extra credits. You are doing a great job, Ken! Two informal tips: 99% of taxi drivers in Shenyang are professional, honest and friendly. If you catch a pirat (esp. from the airport, even with registered taxis this might happen) who wants to charge more than the meter says, simply get off at the hotel entrance and ask the friendly staff to help. They will manage. Price for a ride should not exceed 50 RMB. Second tip: head for the ‘J.House’ coffee bar 100 meters to the left from the hotel. Run by Andy, a Moldavian expat, this bar offers international beers, great burgers, and pasta - with a smile. Just in case you are looking for some distraction from the great Chinese food after a while, go there! You will find many interesting people there, from all over the world. Overall, I would recommend this hotel if the location suits you, it is one of the best in town.
