Hilton Shanghai City Centre: The ideal choice in the city center As a seasoned travel enthusiast with extensive knowledge of Shanghai hotels, I can say that the opening of the Hilton Shanghai City Centre has injected new vitality into the downtown hospitality market. Whether you're on a business trip or enjoying a leisurely city walk in Shanghai, this hotel offers a unique experience. Here's my take on my stay. I. Hotel Overview The hotel, renovated from the former Nikko Longbai Shanghai, has undergone extensive renovations, making it practically brand new. The public areas continue the excellent design of Lian Zicheng, while the guest rooms have been completely redesigned with high-quality materials and furnishings, meeting luxury hotel standards. The lobby and lounge, in particular, stand out among hotels in the city. However, there's room for improvement in the dining options, as the breakfast buffet and lounge offerings could be more extensive. II. Accommodation Experience 1. 🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Drawing the curtains instantly quiets the room, effectively blocking out the noise from outside and providing a peaceful resting environment. I found no hygiene issues; the overall environment was clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. 2. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: The room layout is well-designed, maximizing space utilization. The upgraded basic rooms and suites are spacious and comfortable. The decor is primarily white, simple, and elegant. The musical note design on the lobby floor is unique and adds a touch of surprise. 3. 🛌Amenities/Facilities: The rooms are well-equipped with high-quality hardware. The public areas are stylishly designed, with high ceilings and open views. The afternoon tea at Osteria Twelve 16, the Italian restaurant, is worth trying. The retro-chic ambiance, paired with delectable desserts, and the spiral staircase bathed in light and shadow, exudes the elegance of a luxury hotel. While the lounge offers limited food options at noon, the decor is impressive. Moreover, the hotel's prime location is just a ten-minute walk from Anfu Road, making shopping convenient. 4. 💰️Average Cost: The pricing is relatively affordable, offering excellent value within the Hilton portfolio. For just a few hundred to a thousand yuan, guests can enjoy a prime location and a pleasant stay, making it a great deal for both business and leisure travelers. III. Service Experience The hotel service was satisfactory. As a Diamond member, I not only received the standard room upgrade but also had my request for a suite fulfilled upon check-in, demonstrating the hotel's attentiveness to its guests. IV. 💗Other Tips 1. For a unique visual experience, choose a room on a higher floor to enjoy the bustling cityscape and the elevated Yan'an Road. 2. Don't miss the afternoon tea at Osteria Twelve 16 Italian restaurant for a relaxing experience. 3. Redeeming points for rooms is a great value, and members enjoy further upgrade benefits. Frequent travelers should consider joining the membership program.
