Shanghai: Renaissance Zhongshan Park Shanghai

Renaissance Zhongshan Park Shanghai

For the next 3 nights, we stayed at Renaissance Zhongshan Park Shanghai. This hotel is truly a GEM among thousands of hotels in Shanghai! The location is super convenient, just above a big mall and right smack in metro line 2-3-4 junction. Although not walking distance to any tourist spots, the hotel is just 4 stops away from People’s Square, 5 stops away from East Nanjing Road and 6 stops away from Luijiazui Pudong. From Renaissance Zhongshan, you can go in any major Shanghai tourist spots in less than 20 minutes via subway. Tourists may want to stay somewhere near Nanjing Road, but the downtown Nanjing Road is just too chaotic and cramped with local tourists. Renaissance Zhongshan is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, yet provides 5-star accessibility due to its prime metro junction location.

The hotel is quite new and is the tallest Renaissance in the world occupying 30-60 floors of an office building.  The lobby is bright, rooms with sweeping views, huge executive lounge and service is exceeding expectations.

We booked a deluxe corner room with executive lounge access. The room rate is a bit on the high side relative to other hotels in China but staying in the Renaissance Zhongshan Park is an excellent value for money. The upgrade to executive is highly recommended and is well worth it! The deluxe corner room is huge with 2 double beds with sweeping city views. Bathroom is also huge with separate shower and bathtub.

Breakfast in Azur, one of the hotel’s main restaurants, is something to look forward every morning. The buffet spread is a feast with mostly Chinese and Western cuisine.

The bi-level executive lounge in Renaissance Zhongshan Park is impressive and is one of the biggest hotel lounges I’ve seen, even bigger than the Marriott I’ve been to. Food and drinks during breakfast and evening cocktails is plentiful and top notch.  The chicken quesadilla and honey glazed pork spareribs should not be missed during the evening cocktails!

Overall, my stay in this hotel is exceeding expectations and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone for pleasure or for business.
