The hotel is located in Ping An Tower, which houses several hotels of different tiers. Multiple elevators serve different hotels, and the signage from the ground floor up is clear and easy to follow, giving it a sophisticated and interesting feel.
This particular hotel seems to be a European brand, designed with a European aesthetic. Its name, RED, is a transliteration. The interior design features striking color combinations of rose red, black, and white, which I found very cool and stylish.
Overall, the experience was on par with a 4-star-plus establishment. The facilities are new and complete, and the smart room controls are incredibly convenient; you can voice your requests to the TV to control various in-room amenities. Room essentials like slippers, combs, and toilet paper are also of high quality.
Soundproofing, cleanliness, and service were excellent. As soon as the elevator doors opened into the lobby, staff were there to greet me and assist with check-in.
Breakfast was decent – neither particularly good nor bad for a hotel of this caliber. There were a few local ***** specialties. The hot dishes had limited vegetable options and were only lukewarm. Additionally, there wasn't much variety in sausages and other meat items in the Western section.
The only (or two) minor drawbacks were that the sink in my room drained very slowly, but I didn't want to waste time waiting for maintenance. Also, due to the holiday rush, the room wasn't ready until quite late. When I called in the morning, I was told rooms would start becoming available around 11-12 PM, most would be ready by 1 PM, and check-in would be possible by 2 PM. However, I ended up waiting until 2:15 PM. The hotel's official check-out time is 2 PM, so if they can't predict guest check-out times, it would be better to just state that check-in isn't guaranteed until 2 PM at the latest, rather than giving the false impression that it might be possible much earlier.
