My first time staying at a top luxury hotel! This magical hotel in Shanghai perfectly combines river views and art! Help! I never knew a luxury hotel could be so stunning it leaves you speechless! Last month, I stayed at the Shanghai West Bund MGM Hotel, highly recommended by a friend, and it completely redefined my understanding of "luxury"—from the 50th-floor river view room to the sky-high restaurant, every step felt like walking in a dream! Enough talk, let’s unbox it now 👇 🌉 Perfect location! The artistic utopia of Xuhui Riverside I was blown away the moment I arrived at Xuhui Riverside! The hotel is surrounded by art museums and art centers, and right outside the door is the riverside promenade. Feeling the river breeze while watching the sunset is absolutely amazing~ Stepping into the lobby, my pupils dilated instantly: the soaring space feels like a giant art gallery, warm light shining on every piece of art, even checking in feels like visiting an exhibition! The fruit tea the front desk guy handed me was super refreshing—truly, the thoughtfulness of a luxury hotel is in its DNA~ 🏨 50th-floor river view room! The Huangpu River framed by floor-to-ceiling windows I’m willing to call this room the pinnacle of “worth living for”! - Stunning view: On the 50th floor, you look straight out over the Huangpu River. The moment you open the door, the river view embraces you. At night, when the lights on the opposite shore come on, sitting by the window with a drink, you almost feel like you’re filming a movie; - Amazing design: The theme is “porcelain,” with porcelain lamps on the bedside tables, celadon decorations in the foyer, even the rinsing cup looks like a work of art! The natural wood and warm light color scheme makes it feel like living in a cozy cloud nest; - Detail lover’s dream: The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows have electric curtains, the minibar has delightful snacks, and even the bathroom’s aromatherapy is custom-made. Once you move in, you won’t want to check out, you know what I mean! 🦞 Dining at 57 floors above the clouds! The open kitchen smells so good it makes your legs weak I’ve never been so full after dining at a restaurant before! - Italian restaurant: The cheese on the freshly baked pizza can stretch a whole meter long, the crust is so crispy it flakes off, and eating it with the river view doubles the joy; - Local cuisine knockout: The braised pork at the Chinese restaurant melts in your mouth, the sweet and savory sauce mixed with rice—I ate three bowls in a row! - Immersive experience: The open kitchen lets you watch chefs searing steaks and tossing pizzas. The lively atmosphere combined with luxury is off the charts. Posting photos on social media will have everyone asking where you ate! 💆‍♀️ Spa + gym! Relax while enjoying the river view The most healing part of traveling is— - Full body massage: The spa therapist’s technique is so professional it feels like a muscle massage, after which you just melt into soft clay. The scent of essential oils makes you want to sleep right away; - River view gym: The treadmill faces the floor-to-ceiling window, so you can watch boats passing on the river while running. Exercise becomes romantic, and the equipment is so complete even professional fitness enthusiasts can’t find a flaw! 🎨 Staying at the hotel = visiting an exhibition! There’s even a small concert in the lobby Can you believe it? This hotel is basically an art museum in disguise! The hallways are decorated with paintings by unknown artists, the elevator lobby features futuristic sculptures, and when I stayed, there was a small concert in the lobby. Holding a coffee and sitting on the sofa listening to the cello—that’s the kind of vacation every working person deserves! 💥 Final thoughts: Although the price is a bit steep for students, my first time staying at a top luxury hotel completely won me over! I recommend waiting for holiday packages for better value~ What’s the most impressive hotel you’ve ever stayed at? Come leave a comment and let’s share recommendations!👇
