A hidden gem in Shanghai Hongqiao! A film location and an amazing Italian restaurant.

On this business trip, I stayed at ⬇️ 🏨PRIMUS Hotel Shanghai Hongqiao First of all, the location is great, close to Hongqiao Airport and the National Exhibition and Convention Center, making it easy to get around! Secondly, the food at the hotel was also a pleasant surprise! "Z1 Cafe" It offers international buffets and à la carte service all day long. Whether it's the rich breakfast or the buffet dinner with unlimited hairy crabs, it really captured my heart. The fresh hairy crabs are steamed to order, fresh and sweet with lots of crab roe! The hairy crabs matured in Huadiao wine have a unique flavor. Unlimited white wine, beer, etc. are available... The dinner menu is even more complete, with flavors from all over the world. "Al Cappello Trattoria" Golden Spoon Award for Best Italian Restaurant of the Year It was also the best Italian restaurant I've had this year. The chef, Patrizio D'Oro, is from Italy and puts a lot of effort into his dishes. The lobster soup appetizer kicked off a wonderful taste experience. The homemade tiramisu was a surprise, very moist! The risotto was also amazing, made with Italian rice. Hotel public areas and guest rooms: I really like the overall design of the hotel, and the lobby is a location for many TV shows and movies. More than 20 popular TV shows and movies, such as "My Best Friend's Story" and "Go Go Squid!" were filmed here. The spiral staircase is very photogenic. The guest rooms are equipped with JBL speakers, the rooms are large, and the windows overlook the Hongqiao villa area, making you feel like you are far away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Recreation The hotel has complete entertainment facilities, including a spa, gym, and swimming pool, and the executive lounge is also great. The hotel is close to the National Exhibition and Convention Center and Hongqiao Tiandi, where there are many nice shops to visit.
