Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao

My 5D4N stay was pleasant and satisfying. Firstly, the Shanghai Pudong airport pickup arranged by concierge was good and effective, the driver was polite, and his driving was safe. The car arranged was big enough for me and my colleagues. The check-in at the front desk was efficient. I loved the fact that gold member was valued, and my special upgrade request was looked into. My room was upgraded to the new wing of the hotel with newly refurbished room. The room is huge with walk-in wardrobe. The bathroom is huge with bathtub as well. Hotel WiFi is stable and fast, no issue in my internet connection and access. The bed and sofa were both comfortable. The downsides are the working table and chair which are not the ergonomic type for desk work, it is only a simple table (looks like more suitable for dining than work) and normal chair. Also, there is no universal power socket designed for all power points in the room. They are still using the local (China) power socket design which requires universal travel adapter for my case. The location of the hotel is just average. There is no happening shopping mall nearby nor shopping street. The nearest food street is Laowai Jie (Foreigner Street) which is a street with restaurants serving different cuisine (Western, Indian, Thai, Oriental, Mediterranean and etc.), which is about 1.5 km walk from the hotel. There is a small mall which is just 300m away from the hotel (turn left from the hotel lobby by walking) provides some dining options as well (like Korean, Tim Horton cafe, Thai and others). The hotel has an indoor swimming pool and tennis court which is amazing. There is also a 24-hour gym available. Unfortunately, I could not spare any time to use these facilities. The breakfast at hotel lobby was great, many choices and huge dining area.
