Shanghai Hotel Recommendation | This hotel near Zhongshan Park is incredibly artistic
Visited the Hyatt Centric Shanghai Zhongshan Park with my bestie
🏨Location: 100 meters from the trendy landmark Yuyuan Road, about 1 kilometer from Shanghai MixC Mall. Direct access via Metro Line 2.
🏨Public Area: The hotel's design has a strong Shanghai-style atmosphere, with many abstract art illustrations adorning the corridors, creating an artistic vibe.
🏨Guest Room: We stayed in a king room with large floor-to-ceiling windows that provided ample natural light. The bathroom is designed with a wet and dry separation, and though not very large, it is very well designed and felt very comfortable during use. The drinking water in the room is quite special; there is a glass provided for guests to use at the hallway's water dispenser, which offers both hot and cold options. This is incredibly convenient for someone like me who likes to drink hot water when out and about but doesn't want to use a kettle.
☕Dining: Dining is at the Tor Factory, a shared space open 24 hours, combining a café, restaurant, and bar, and also suitable for working or relaxing. The space is comfortable with Shanghai-style design and lots of green plants. It's pleasant to order a coffee and chat with a couple of friends.
I ordered the grilled eel stone pot rice, which came with two large pieces of eel and many side dishes, offering great value for money. Other options include wontons, sandwiches, croissants, and ice cream, all healthy light food choices. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the yogurt cups are made of biodegradable material, showing the hotel's commitment to environmental protection in the details.
🌆Fun: I also participated in the Tor Factory's Dragon Boat Festival themed event, learned how to make zongzi, and even made handcrafted coffee soap from coffee grounds, which was both stress-relieving and environmentally meaningful. Making crafts with other guests I hadn't met before, there was no lack of conversation topics.
🎉Fitness: Fitness enthusiasts are in luck, as the hotel also has a multifunctional gym with cardio, strength, and free training equipment.
Overall, the Hyatt Centric is a relaxing hotel to stay in without feeling pressured, and I might choose to stay here often.
