In Shenzhen... A budget hotel in the city center that I will always stay at!!
St. Regis Shenzhen: A blend of classic and luxury
The St. Regis Shenzhen opened in 2011 and is located in the KK100 building. After 13 years of development, it exudes a calm and classic charm.
🏘️️️Room type/layout
The hotel rooms have a unique design, such as the Metropolitan Suite, a two-story loft with an area of 108 square meters and a clever layout. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room offer a great view of the Futian Center and the Mai Po Wetlands in Hong Kong. The Italian Murano glass chandelier adds a romantic atmosphere to the space, and at sunset, the light dyes the marble walls an enchanting amber color. However, some loft rooms do not have a view from the bedroom area, and the bathroom is relatively small. The Caroline Suite returns to a normal layout, with a design style that combines Western cream and Chinese seriousness, perfectly presented in the living room and bedroom. The renovated bathroom area has a view bathtub and double sinks, which are comfortable and beautiful.
🛌Supplies/facilities
The hotel has a wide range of facilities. The lobby is designed with a large entrance, with classic floral arrangements and large chandeliers, with gold threads wrapped around the lights and beautiful hanging curtains. The high-rise lobby front desk rest area is not large, but it is full of old money. The central decoration echoes the ceiling chandelier, and a night ceremony is held here every night. The building is a square structure, with the lobby bar occupying three sides, dark furniture and carpets, and a Christmas tree in the corner, which is charming when the night falls and the lights are on.
The hotel gym facilities are a bit old, but the pool is well maintained and has a classic St. Regis stone pool. The spa service is excellent and impressive. The Western restaurant is located on the 99th floor, with tall napkins that are beautiful, but no window views. The 100th floor used to be a bar area, but now it has been converted into a small lounge where Platinum and above guests can enjoy happy hour every night. In the guest rooms, the master bathroom is equipped with a fully automatic TOTO washlet and a German Kaldewei steel porcelain bathtub, and the night light mode makes you feel like you are in the Milky Way.
🧹Soundproofing/hygiene
The hotel is clean, the rooms are cleaned in a timely manner, and the public areas are kept clean. The soundproofing is excellent, so you can enjoy a quiet rest in your room without being disturbed by the outside world.
💗Other tips
1. Service experience: The St. Regis butler service is more attentive, and they will call to confirm check-in information one day in advance. After check-in, guests' needs are responded to in a timely manner, coffee is available on call, and the turndown service not only tidies up the corners of the bed, but also gives lavender pillow spray to enhance the sleep experience.
2. Member benefits: Titanium members can enjoy the benefits of 8 continents, including USD 100, and have the opportunity to upgrade to a Metropolitan Suite, which is also a popular room type. Welcome gifts can be chosen between points and St. Regis mother bear, and double breakfast is also available. On special anniversaries, the hotel will also carefully decorate the room.
3. Surroundings: The hotel is located in the core of the Luohu CBD, and you can go directly to KKMALL downstairs to shop for luxury goods from around the world, and it is an 8-minute walk to MixC. The nearby Grand Theater subway station is a double-track interchange for Line 1/2, and it is only a 20-minute drive to Huaqiangbei. The back door of the hotel is Xiangxi Village Chaoshan Beef Hot Pot Street, with many delicious foods.
4. Dining experience: The breakfast at the 96th floor Cloud Ranch is unique, with champagne and rice rolls, and Eggs Benedict can be enjoyed at the view. Afternoon tea combines British and Cantonese specialties, with a unique combination of scones and shrimp dumplings. The 8 Continents restaurant has a USD 100 spending limit, and the teppanyaki lobster is huge and delicious.
5. Future prospects: The St. Regis Qianhai is currently in trial operation, one in the east, one in the west, one old, one new, and we look forward to the two hotels working together in the future to bring a new interpretation of hotel culture to the city of Shenzhen.
Although some of the hotel's facilities have shown signs of fatigue over time, the high-rise view glass needs to be cleaned regularly, and the butler service has room for improvement, the St. Regis Shenzhen is still a great choice for a luxury hotel experience with its unique design, quality service, and excellent location.
