Stumbled upon the newly opened MGM Shenzhen ~ Decided to come and experience it for our upcoming anniversary! ~
Special shoutout to Ms. Alison from the Guest Relations team! 🌹 She called a day in advance to discuss room arrangements and added me on WeChat. Afterward, all kinds of requests were quickly responded to and handled via phone, outperforming the butler service at the St. Regis Qianhai! 👍
1. Room: Although it's a new hotel, there was no noticeable post-renovation smell, which deserves a big thumbs up especially for traveling with a kid. Secondly, the room is spacious with a practical overall layout. Even though it's an open-plan studio, it achieves a good separation of dynamic and static zones between the sofa area and the sleeping area. Communication—whether via WeChat with Alison or through the landline—was met with prompt responses and polite manners! (Friendly tip: The first round of the minibar is complimentary, ha! Much more generous than the St. Regis Qianhai 😏)
2. Public Areas: Parking is convenient, the public area design is minimalist and grand, and moving to various zones doesn't involve any redundant or convoluted pathways.
3. Dining: Breakfast features 4 à la carte options—highly recommend the pasteurized eggs. The French toast is similar to the one at Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou and is worth a try. As for the Eggs Benedict and wonton noodles, it really comes down to personal taste; some family members and friends liked them, while others didn't. The semi-buffet dinner is similar to an executive lounge, offering pretty much everything including red wine, white wine, soft drinks, hot dishes, and cold cuts. There were also special themed dishes for Halloween, showing genuine effort (though personally I'm not a fan of overly decorated food). The cakes from the lobby lounge are quite delicate; tried two over two days and both were good. The live singer at the bar on the other night was also quite good! ~
4. Pool & Gym: This time we only experienced the pool. The front desk service was very enthusiastic with full guidance provided. The locker combination lock needs to be set by yourself. Since we went early, we had the whole pool to ourselves for a swim, though the overall size isn't large. Running on the treadmill in the gym facing the sea view is quite nice, though.
As a new hotel, my family had an overall great experience, especially the service from Alison of the Guest Relations team, which is definitely a major bonus point!!! 👍
