Oh my god, this is truly the most luxurious hotel I have ever stayed at in my life, I am completely blown away

Shanghai Alila Hotel


✨Prime location, super convenient for getting around
The hotel I stayed at in Shanghai this time really amazed me! Shanghai Alila Hotel is in the city center, with extremely convenient transportation. The subway station is nearby, so wherever you want to go, it’s just a short walk. There are also many attractions around, like the Bund and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, just a 10-15 minute walk away! This location is unbeatable, I could easily eat and have fun around every day without worrying about finding good places.


💧Wellness facilities, relaxing and enjoyable
I really have to highly recommend the hotel’s wellness facilities! The gym is fully equipped with treadmills, spin bikes, and all kinds of strength training equipment. I go for a run every morning, work up a sweat, and always feel refreshed. The biggest surprise was the hotel pool—the water temperature was just right, and the poolside environment was quiet. I soaked in the pool listening to soft music, and all my fatigue just melted away.


🛏️Check-in experience, perfect attention to detail
At check-in, the front desk lady was very warm and helped me with the procedures, even handing me a cup of sweet fruit tea, making me feel the warmth of home right away. The room was exquisitely decorated, and the bed was super soft and cozy. When I lay down, it felt like I was sinking into it, and I slept naturally until I woke up. Plus, the room had huge windows—when I opened the curtains, I could see the bustling street view outside, instantly lifting my mood.


🌈Small details, thoughtful and warm
One small detail really touched me. When I arrived at the hotel, it was already dark, and the front desk staff proactively asked if I needed help with my luggage and reminded me that it was a bit chilly outside, suggesting I put on an extra layer. Also, once when I was having breakfast alone in the restaurant, a waiter came over to chat with me and introduced some signature dishes, which made me very happy.


📝Tips to help you check in easily
Finally, I want to share a few tips with everyone! You must try the hotel breakfast—it has a huge variety, including Chinese dim sum, Western bread, fresh fruit, and juice, which can keep your mood great all day. Also, there are many delicious small shops near the hotel, so you can take a walk nearby—you might even find some unexpected surprises.
