Joya Properties in Shanghai

Shanghai Business Trips | Xiyue Lujiazui is my go-to business hotel ✨ Having traveled to Shanghai for business for years, my hotel preferences have really solidified. I absolutely detest overly flashy decor and excessive sensory clutter 🙅🏻‍♂️. I only like spaces with solid, muted tones, minimalist cleanliness, and bright, transparent lighting. This time, for my business trip to Lujiazui, I chose Xiyue, and my stay was simply perfect! 🏨 [Location | A must-have for business travelers] Working entirely in Lujiazui, the location is truly unbeatable. I'm not bothered by checking off popular spots, but the 'blue hour' by the window in my room was incredibly therapeutic 🌌. No need to deliberately find a good photo spot; just sitting there and relaxing in the evening was lovely. The value for money is excellent, costing 1,100 RMB per night. In the heart of Lujiazui, this hotel's amenities truly outclass others in its price range. 🍃 [Ambiance | Chinese minimalist, clean, and spacious] The overall style is new Chinese minimalist, with sophisticated and elegant color schemes. Both the public areas and guest rooms are new, tidy, and spacious. There are no superfluous decorations, and the overall atmosphere is quiet and calming, making it particularly suitable for business trips, relaxation, and quiet work. 🛁 [Hardware | High-spec amenities with attention to detail] All essential amenities are top-notch; no need to compromise: ▪️ Smart heated, fully automatic toilet, providing a fantastic experience. ▪️ Dyson hairdryer as standard, no need to bring your own. ▪️ Soft and thick bedding on the large bed ensures a stable and comfortable sleep. ▪️ Food delivery robot brings orders directly to the room, private and convenient. 🍴 [Facilities | No shortcomings for dining and transportation] The hotel has a Xin Rong Ji restaurant on the 25th floor, so no need to venture out for meals. Daily transportation is super convenient; taxis are usually around 10 RMB. It's a 5-minute walk to the riverside promenade 🌬️. There are plenty of cafes downstairs, perfect for an evening stroll or morning run. You can relax and unwind even while on business. 💁🏻‍♂️ [Service | Beyond expectations, attentive and thoughtful] The service throughout was gentle and appropriate, neither forced nor perfunctory. We were also treated to an exclusive afternoon tea on the 26th floor 🍰. The dessert selection was exquisite and never disappoints. Sitting by the window to chat and take photos during downtime made for some lovely, high-quality shots. Absolutely no complaints; this is definitely a hidden gem of a business hotel in Lujiazui. It has now been added to my regular list for Shanghai business trips. I'll be booking this one again next time! ✅

The cleaning staff were very friendly and the front desk was very helpful. The room was super clean and well-equipped, and the soundproofing was excellent. Highly recommend! The breakfast selection was also quite rich, with both Western and Chinese options to choose from, or you could have it delivered to your room. The hotel's location is fantastic, with many delicious Japanese restaurants in the basement of Takashimaya, right next to a Japanese supermarket.

Pros: The hotel is exceptionally clean and the rooms are very comfortable. Great amenities and good service overall, making it a nice choice for families. There is also a small mall right beside the hotel, which is convenient for quick shopping or meals. Cons: The location is quiet with not much spotlight or things to do nearby. It takes about 10 minutes to walk to the Metro—fine for younger travelers, but not recommended for senior citizens or young children (it's better to call a DiDi instead). Additionally, daily room cleaning details could be improved (like tidying up used cups), there is no self-service dobi (laundry is chargeable), and no free late-night supper/porridge is provided.

The hotel's interior is very modern with new facilities and a large mirror. My check-in experience was great. The best part was the restaurant – delicious food and a beautiful ambiance. I especially loved the noodles! The toppings were fantastic. However, the hotel's cleanliness in some details could be improved. The King Koil mattress, which they boast about, felt rather ordinary. Comfortable, but not amazing. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet spot despite being right next to Liucheng New World, with plenty of great food and drink options nearby. The minibar is refreshed daily with a good variety of drinks.
