Lanson Place Jinlin Tiandi Residence Shanghai

We wife , daughter and I took my sister and mom and dad to China for New year. We arrived in Shanghai and spent a couple of days in the city. This accommodation was ideal in terms of size and location- great places to eat nearby and easy access to metro stations. If you are traveling as a large family group I would highly recommend it.

Our two-bedroom unit was huge - with the extra study room with a sofabed, it could actually be considered a 3-bedroom unit. With a full kitchen and large living/dining area, there was more that enough space for our family of 7. The location was excellent - the building was in a compound that had a gate that exits directly across the street from Xintiandi, one of the best walking/eating areas in Shanghai. All the compound's gates are accessible with your room key card. Several metro and bus stops were also close by, and main thoroughfare Huai Hai Road was less than a 5-minute walk away. Although the floors and shelving were made of dark wood, making the place look slightly dated, the furnishings and kitchen were all modern, and the entire apartment was very clean. There were some issues with our hot water, but was resolved the next day - unfortunately, because this is a serviced residence, and not a full-service hotel, there was no housekeeping/engineering 24/7, but the reception team was gracious enough to give us keys to an empty room on the same floor where we could avail of the shower with working hot water. For such a huge space, this 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment was the price of a single hotel room in this pricey neighbourhood. Excellent value!

Lanson Place is a highrise building of spacious and attractively furnished two and three bed room luxury apartments with lovely city views. It is perfectly located directly opposite Xintiandi entertainment complex with its high end restaurants and shops, and also close to elegant Huaihai Road. The apartments all have two complete bathrooms and a balcony. There is a great indoor swimming pool and a well equipped gym with a view of the lovely garden below. A continental breakfast is included. On a recent trip to Shanghai we spent four nights at Lanson Place, the building where we had previously lived for six years. We were pleased that it has maintained its high standards and we were touched that some of the staff remembered us.
