Stunning Architecture, but Overall Overpriced Experience
What I Loved Most:
The building itself is absolutely breathtaking - both from the outside and the interior atrium. We also enjoyed access to the Club Lounge, where the view of the Bund and the Pearl Tower during the evening drinks was definitely a highlight (self-serve cocktails were a fun surprise😅). The room was spacious and clean, and breakfast was good.
What I Didn’t Like:
Our room, despite being upgraded, had a very strong cigarette smell that made it uncomfortable to stay in - it felt heavily smoked-in. The furnishings and equipment feel dated, and overall service fell short of expectations for a luxury hotel: limited English communication, no assistance with luggage, and no escort to the room. While the architecture is impressive, the experience as a whole felt overpriced, and I would choose a different hotel on my next visit.
