AAnonymous UserMainly talking about the dining experience and my feelings. For ease of explanation, I’ve uploaded payment records and photos of inconsistent signature dishes with descriptions.
During the ***** New Year, I stayed at Amann intermittently and ate at their Chinese restaurant, Lazhu, 7 times.
Firstly, I personally believe my per-person dining spend is quite high. It's usually two or three adults per meal, so I'm not being nitpicky; I genuinely have an affection for Lazhu. Secondly, I absolutely confirm that Amann's F&B service attitude is excellent. When an issue arose on February 23rd at dinner, it was immediately resolved. A heavily inconsistent taste in the bream dish led to it being taken off the bill.
Indeed, the next day, the quality bounced back to the February 22nd level 🙂. However, on Lantern Festival, March 3rd, it was disappointing. After an issue arose (reasons explained in the images below), I raised questions, but there was no feedback from the chef about the cause, nor any subsequent resolution. Considering it was Lantern Festival, I let it go. But the same attitude to my questions on the 4th made the guest uncomfortable (the restaurant manager's attitude was actually alright, otherwise, I really would have erupted). On these two days, soft drinks, including fresh juices and tea, were eventually waived. I don't think this is a sustainable way to resolve problems, especially for a guest like me who cares a lot about dining. I personally feel that Amann's F&B shouldn't have such significant instability, from ingredients to taste. Given my dining frequency over the New Year, these fluctuations were quite frequent. For a regular guest raising concerns, especially serious issues about ingredient freshness or off-flavors, timely feedback should be given, not just waiving soft drinks. (I definitely wasn't deliberately finding fault when I couldn't finish the fish last night because it tasted fishy; I ate the rice and mapo tofu instead, planning to save room for the fish. I really love to eat!)
Lazhu has always been touted as the pinnacle of Jiangxi cuisine in media promotions, and I personally agree it is, when the quality is consistent! But for a high-standard restaurant, stability is even more crucial: the stability of specialty ingredients and the consistency of food quality are vital for loyal customers and a good reputation 🙂. Of course, one point is that since I was staying at the hotel, the location didn't allow me to frequently eat out. Otherwise, with such fluctuating quality, I would have been eating out in the city much earlier 🙂. The restaurant shouldn't feel like it can retain guests just because of the hotel's location 'bug.' The Western restaurant's M9 beef could also consider a different supplier; its texture was only upper-middle, not matching its price point 😐. I believe guests who come to Amann have their own lifestyles, tastes, aesthetics, and demands. The overall offerings still need to be more stable and align more closely with a luxury brand. After all, people are emotional, and honestly, many issues, as a guest, are overlooked because of the meticulous service and good attitude provided by some beloved staff. But fundamental problems that need improvement should still be addressed.
PS: On the evening of the 4th, I went to the front desk to ask what movie was showing. After the receptionist replied with the name, I said, 'Is tonight's movie that abstract?' I looked down, thinking whether to watch it, then looked up and saw the receptionist's 'meaningful' look of disdain. She retracted it when she saw me looking up. I think any staff member can be displeased with a guest, have reservations, or other emotions, or even gossip behind their back; that's normal personal freedom. But professional conduct is essential. One should know they are at work and should not let guests see, hear, or feel such emotions. This needs to be done well during working hours. The guest won't suffer any loss, but it will repeatedly shock them regarding brand image and management (the CCTV should have captured it, as that expression wasn't a micro-expression; her mouth was distorted.) 🙂

MMangguobinglidexiguaMy stay at the Kimpton Qiantan Shanghai was an absolutely perfect modern city business trip. This luxury hotel under the InterContinental umbrella completely won me over with its unique design aesthetics and attentive service.
The hotel is located in the heart of Qiantan, within walking distance of the Taikoo Li shopping district, making transportation incredibly convenient. The hotel entrance features a low-key design, but stepping inside, I was immediately captivated by its fusion of modern Shanghai charm and Parisian romance. The dark, modern style blended with Old Shanghai Shikumen elements creates the ambiance of a high-end art gallery. Combined with the over six-meter-high lobby ceiling, the entire space exudes a sense of sophistication. The custom crystal chandeliers and black and white marble spiral staircase in the 31st-floor Sky Lobby are definite must-visit spots for an Instagram-worthy photo.
Guest rooms start from 48㎡, offering spacious and comfortable living. What truly surprised me was the intelligent design details – the retractable mini-bar rises in sync with the TV, the smart mirror in the bathroom automatically adjusts lighting for makeup, and there's even a Zuvi Halo hair dryer, a co-branded item. It truly showcases a perfect blend of technology and human-centric design. The first round of the mini-bar is complimentary, and the amenities are from Rituals, with a sophisticated and unique fragrance.
The hotel's top-floor infinity heated river-view pool is an absolute highlight. Swimming amidst tropical gardens while overlooking the Huangpu River is especially romantic in the evening. The daily social hour from 5-6 PM offers complimentary champagne and snacks, fostering a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere for guests to mingle.
The hotel gym is exclusively for in-house guests, with dedicated staff at the entrance ensuring the rights of hotel guests are fully protected. The gym's equipment, from squat racks to spin bikes, treadmills, and ellipticals, is comprehensive and a pleasure to use!
Service was impeccable. Before check-in, the front desk called to confirm my itinerary and remembered my preferred floor, directly arranging a room with a view upon arrival. The concierge service was thoughtful and meticulous, from handling luggage upon alighting to bringing it to the room. The hotel is also incredibly pet-friendly, making travel with your beloved pet easy and enjoyable.
Whether you're a business traveler seeking style, a couple looking for romance, or a young person who loves taking photos, this hotel will exceed all expectations. The Kimpton Qiantan Shanghai is not just a place to stay; it's a beautiful memory worth cherishing.

XXiaoximamaTraveling with my child during the May Day holiday, I booked this hotel. The location is excellent, right by the Bund and close to Yu Garden, making it very convenient for getting around. I booked a twin room with a small living area; the room was clean, and breakfast was plentiful. It was a very comfortable stay. There are even benches in the elevator waiting areas, which is a perfect little detail!

GGuest UserFor my family member's birthday, we specially chose J Hotel at Shanghai Tower. Our Bund-view suite offered incredible vistas, overlooking the Oriental Pearl Tower. The hotel's butler service was exceptionally thoughtful; they even surprised us with a chocolate birthday cake and a birthday card, which made us so happy! Although our room wasn't ready when we arrived around 2 PM, it was great that in-house guests could use the lobby lounge for free. We enjoyed unlimited snacks, coffee, and tea there. From the 101st-floor lobby lounge, the panoramic views of both Puxi and Pudong were absolutely stunning. During our stay, we also participated in the hotel's guided tour, learning about the over one thousand pieces of art displayed throughout the hotel. The highest floor, the 120th, offered spectacular views of both sunset and sunrise above the clouds. The hotel breakfast was excellent, with a semi-buffet and à la carte options, and the self-service selection was abundant. J Hotel, with its impressive height, also delivers a high level of service. It was a truly special experience.

AAnonymous UserLocated at the heart of Nanjing East pedestrian street, the Shanghai EDITION is incredibly convenient with restaurants and shops right downstairs. The entire hotel exudes a vibe that is luxurious, stylish and comfortable at the same time. Service is also excellent - staff were friendly and always offered their assistance whenever anything was needed. Special mention to Colin who made our stay here an exceptional one. Colin went out of his way to make sure we had an amazing stay here, from managing our dinner appointment to recommending restaurants in Shanghai to helping us secure delicious palmiers. Thank you Colin! And highly recommend the Shanghai EDITION!

GGuest UserThe Peninsula Shanghai, nestled by the Waibaidu Bridge, the Monument to the People's Heroes, and the Bund, might not be described as 'convenient' in the traditional sense, but I found its location perfect for soaking in the unique Shanghainese vibe! The service here is wonderfully old-school and distinctively 'Shanghai' – unhurried yet efficient, demonstrating a clear and deep understanding of guest needs. The rooms are classic Peninsula style, with well-defined functional areas, superb soundproofing, and impeccable cleanliness and maintenance, putting my mind completely at ease. The dining experience was a genuine delight; both breakfast and the Cantonese restaurant in the evening were so memorable. I particularly loved the evening bath ritual – pressing the SPA button and immersing myself in the tranquil, ethereal music, it felt like I was back in a cozy island retreat! My two-day Peninsula experience was a solid 12 out of 10. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai who wants to truly experience its unique charm!

AAnonymous UserFull marks to the St. Regis Shanghai Bund and my dedicated butler, Jason! The location is right in the heart of the Bund, making it super convenient to walk to the viewing platform and Nanjing Road. Getting a taxi to Lujiazui is also quick.
I was already impressed by Jason's thoughtfulness even before checking in! He proactively communicated with me to secure a high-floor river view room. Upon arrival, he helped with my luggage and thoroughly explained the room facilities and hotel services. The 24-hour on-call butler service is truly impeccable.

GGuest UserI recently spent two nights at Upper House Chengdu for a business trip and was thoroughly impressed. The service was exceptional—every staff member I encountered was attentive and professional. Although I usually only choose hotels less than five years old, Upper House Chengdu is immaculately maintained. My room was spacious, spotless, and very modern, with nice, clean, thick beddings. Taikoo Li is fantastic for shopping and dining. The area beautifully blends original temple architecture with modern design, creating a unique and vibrant atmosphere. The Loewe shop is a must-visit—stunningly designed and well worth your time! The Michelin Star Tea House at the hotel was truly amazing—a must-try. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent, and the coffee was good. The highlight of my stay was the bamboo massage at Mi Xun Spa. Gentle yet effective, it truly helped soothe my sciatica pain from the flight. Must Try! It’s a luxurious, relaxing experience right in the heart of the city. Highly recommend!

CChikaocuigujiaodetaiyangxuetengThe hotel has a bit of history, and stepping into the room gives off a retro vibe. The bathroom style is certainly unique, but overall the room was clean and well-maintained. The hotel lobby was always busy, which just goes to show that the Andaz Xintiandi is still a classic and worthwhile place to stay. Special shoutout to Peter for being so responsive and attentive to guests' needs.
