Shanghai | Cordis Hongqiao: A Redefined Transit Journey
How many times have I set off from the Hongqiao hub, never thought about staying here, transiting from Shanghai to return to Fuzhou, choosing Cordis for a short rest, this is also the 86th hotel where I have stayed with my child.
🚗: I have heard that Cordis is very close to Hongqiao Station, but I was still a bit shocked when I arrived at the hotel after a 5-minute walk from the North Exit 2 underground passage. I remember that there was a luxury hotel nearby to pick up the station when I came to transit before, but it took 10 minutes just to walk to the parking lot. The location of Cordis as a transit hotel is impeccable.
📖: Under the Langham brand, unlike LANGHAM's British pink, CORDIS is the heart of orange, and Hongqiao is the first store in the mainland that the group has high hopes for. I have stayed at Langham and Langhao before, Cordis is positioned at the same level as Langhao, but the actual experience is more prominent, and the service is more enthusiastic.
Opened in 2017, it is in the best tasting period. The exterior is a simple and modern glass curtain wall. Because I walk in and out, I haven't experienced the doorman service, but the flow of customers outside the wind and rain corridor is a test for the hotel's reception. The lobby is a rectangular horizontal vertical, with rest seats distributed on both sides. Although it is positioned for business, there are actually many art decorations distributed in the hotel for guests to explore. CI is professional and fast, 1865 Honorable Club Voyager can be upgraded but does not include treatment, directly booking the VIP guest room is simple and worry-free.
🛏️: 396 (set) guest rooms, not small in size, divided into advanced rooms, luxury rooms, VIP rooms, terrace rooms, VIP view rooms and executive suites, with an area of 41 square meters. Stay in the VIP view room of about 50 square meters, the corner room has a separate cloakroom and a large double basin bathroom, and the double-sided transparent glass extends to the bathroom. When the sun shines on the white linen, it glows clean. The child likes the room layout very much, and rarely sees him so satisfied with non-suites. There are welcome fruit plates and small gifts, and the spare parts are small bottles that are satisfactory. The response to the usual latex pillow and another quilt is also timely.
🏊: The top-floor swimming pool is a popular fish tank pool design, and the adjacent 12 Times Square bar is also popular nearby, but it is a pity that it is not open on weekends. Fortunately, Hongqiao Tiandi is downstairs. In the evening, I went to Brown Stone and ordered him a non-alcoholic cocktail, which also satisfied the trip every night.
🍚: Langting catering is even more outstanding than the guest rooms. Langting will be hailed as a hotel comparable to RC and Lijing. The executive lounge of Cordis Hongqiao mainly serves business travelers, and HH has many hot and cold dishes. Xiyue Post Station is an all-day restaurant, with a buffet dinner of 258r, a variety of barbecue and fresh ice, and the pizza made by the professional oven is worth a few slices; breakfast also basically meets expectations.
The indoor karting in Longhu Hongqiao Sky Street nearby is liked by children, and the only two transparent warehouses in Hongqiao Tiandi downstairs are loved by girlfriends. I also made an appointment with old classmates to have a drink at the open-air bar and watch the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. Cordis Hongqiao is a hotel that redefines the transit journey, not only for business trips, but also as a starting or ending hotel for parent-child tours in Shanghai, it is a suitable choice.
