A Hidden Gem of Boutique Hotels in Shanghai! Penhaligon's & Riverside Views Worth the Price

Opening the door, I was instantly struck: the bathroom features the familiar Penhaligon's, the window offers a full view of the Huangpu River, and even the glassware exudes quality — the Shanghai Expo Kapok Hyatt Centric Hotel truly pays great attention to detail. 🏛 Artistic Atmosphere Throughout the Space 🌟Design inspiration comes from old Shanghai Shikumen; the lobby’s copper carved window patterns, spiral staircase, and glass lamps in the rooms all have a charming vibe. 🌟Corridor art pieces, high-end custom floral arrangements, and bespoke fragrances (the scent is sophisticated, please share the fragrance name) create an immersive ambiance. 🛏 Highlights of Comfortable Experience 🌟Excellent bedding: mattress and linens stand out for comfort, ensuring high sleep quality (possibly Sealy?). 🌟Surprise amenities: bathroom equipped with Penhaligon's, the classic British fragrance brand delivers quality (resonates with my UK experience). 🌟Quality details: smooth Dyson hairdryer experience | RONA glass cups by the bedside feel premium | JING TEA tea bags are rich and aromatic. 🌟Riverside bonus: rooms face the Huangpu River with expansive views 🌆 (Lupu Bridge + Lujiazui skyline fully in sight). 🌟Thoughtful turndown service: Shanghai-themed heat packs + signature "white tea coffee" drink | cotton textile mini artworks warm the heart. 🍽 Dining Exceeds Expectations 🌟Breakfast: creamy avocado eggs | crispy croissants 👍 🌟Dinner (Little Nanyang Restaurant): traditional smoked fish is fragrant | lion’s head meatballs are refreshing | squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and roasted duck from the open oven are must-tries. 📱 Smart Experience 🌟“Xiao Mian” voice assistant can turn lights/curtains on and off (convenient) 🌟Temperature control not yet supported, voice commands need optimization (looking forward to upgrades) 📌 Suggestions for Improvement (for reference) 🌟Welcome gift: adding classic Shanghai snacks (like butterfly pastries) would enhance local flavor. 🌟Mini bar: including local snacks (like White Rabbit candy) would be more fun. 🌟Information guide: providing hotel facilities and nearby attractions info (digital or printed) would be great. 🏨 Address: 861 Bocheng Road, Pudong New Area 📍 Convenient location: 10-minute walk to Mercedes-Benz Arena | near metro station (Line 13)
