Langham Xintiandi

The location is fantastic and the view of Xintiandi is beautiful, and most staffs are kind and professional.

The hotel's equipment is somewhat outdated, especially the closet, which is less likely to be damaged by the pronounced wooden scraps. But the overall arrangement is within the cognition. Sound insulation should be great! The feeling of quiet, last year's summer holiday, today's Spring Festival, and this trip ;-) After Christmas? But Spring Festival will come to Shanghai again. Looking forward to the experience at home.

Booked this based on comments and history. Normally I stay (professionally) closer to the expo area - but this time (family trip) I wanted to stay centrally located. To be honest, if you’re planning to visit quite some places, the central location is a bit double: we spent quite some time blocked in traffic - didi is fantastic but it really felt like my normal places are more accessible. Obviously the family lined the restaurants and vibe In Xintiandi, so at night the place and location is top if you want to eat there. Booked rooms with lounge access (perfect service, and basically you could eat there a complete meal if you like) and if you do like the apero with friends or family, this is really recommended. Gym and pool are in the basement. Which means the views are not that nice 😉 but it has everything you need and more. Pool temperature best ever btw. A nice gimmick (with our teenage daughters) is the pink London taxi experience (complimentary). The concierges are also very friendly and helpful - even though I felt that some were unaware of some must-do’s in the city. And in all honesty, some should learn a bit more English I feel (I know, I’m in China, but still). The rooms are as expected - but a big thumbs up for the plumber! Best rainshower ever 😉. All in all a hotel that is fantastic and worth the money. If you want to stay in the area, this is the perfect choice. If not, there are several top places in Shanghai that will also receive my 5 stars. And perhaps even outperform my expectations even more.
