Kimpton QIANTAN SHANGHAI by IHG

The hotel has a retro-modern ambiance, and the rooms are comfortable. On the 5th floor, there are several lounge areas with a great atmosphere, and snacks and drinks are available from 5 PM to 6 PM. The bars on the 8th and 9th floors are magnificent, and their cocktails are delicious! Thanks for the welcome gift too!

Kimpton Qiantan Shanghai perfectly matches my personal aesthetic! It features a dark, modern design, blending French and Shanghainese styles, with marble and lighting creating a sophisticated and serene atmosphere. The rooms are comfortable and exquisite, the rooftop infinity pool offers expansive views, and the hotel lobby has a fantastic ambiance. The lady at the front desk in the pink uniform provided service that was just right, very professional yet friendly. All the staff were enthusiastic and efficient. This hotel is an ideal choice for a Shanghai staycation~ Highly recommend it! 👍🏻

The hotel's decor is indeed very stylish, and the infinity pool's transparent edge is a unique feature.

The environment was comfortable and clean. I liked the room design. The front desk service was very enthusiastic. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

I'd been looking forward to staying at the Kimpton Shanghai Qiantan for a while, and I finally got the perfect opportunity to experience it for a night. While the hotel isn't huge, its design aesthetic is by far the strongest I've encountered in any hotel, surpassing even the Kimptons in London and Suzhou. The design of all the public areas isn't just refined and beautiful; it's captivating, almost predatory. The guest rooms feature a sleek, black metallic finish. The minibar, TV screen, and desk are all electrically controlled and can be raised or lowered. The leather sofa has a metallic sheen, though it felt a bit short to lounge on. In the center of the room, there's a fireplace, with crystal lights mimicking dancing flames late at night. Even the toothbrush holders and cups in the bathroom are metal. The hotel lobby is strikingly high-ceilinged. Tastefully placed blankets on the black sofas, a predominantly black background with red accents, and sparkling handicrafts encased in glass create an enchanting and almost surreal atmosphere. On the fifth floor, the living room is dominated by a blood-red, lip-shaped sofa that commands attention, creating immense artistic tension with the surrounding marble coffee tables and leather sofas. The Western restaurant on the eighth floor gleams, and the bar opposite, despite lacking windows, is incredibly dazzling. Behind the bar, rows upon rows of bottles in the embedded, illuminated wine cabinet are absolutely stunning. The ninth floor boasts an infinity pool with a view of the West Bund. On the downside: The internet was unstable and slow. Also, on the night I checked in, it was the basketball finals, but the TV signal kept cutting in and out.

The hotel is great and has a fantastic design. However, something strange happened today: the front desk staff was loudly arguing with someone who wasn't a guest, and they handled it very unprofessionally. It kind of dampened my travel mood. Everything else was pretty good, though.

Great location, with a park and a shopping street nearby. The facilities are a bit basic though – the room is small, and the gym is tiny. A bit of a shame I couldn't use the pool during my stay due to a typhoon. Service was good.

I won't be choosing this hotel again. This time, I booked two rooms in Shanghai, both advertised as 48 square meters. However, after checking in, the rooms felt incredibly small and cramped, making me feel really uncomfortable. Then there's the mini-bar; the number of drinks was pitifully few, definitely not worth the price. Moving on to the hotel's public areas, a large section of the sofas were discolored and looked so old, I didn't even dare to sit on them. At one point, I saw a hotel staff member giving a tour to a special guest. As a hotel guest myself, I asked why it was so hot in the area, and he just blurted out 'we're not open yet' without even looking at me, then went back to his business. The service attitude was really poor. Also, the hotel's temperature was an issue; when I arrived in the afternoon, it felt hot on all floors except for the lobby. I don't understand why they're so stingy with the air conditioning. When I stepped out of my room to look around the hotel, I saw a used towel left directly on the corridor floor by a guest. Just as I was about to walk past it, a door suddenly opened and a cleaner finally came to pick it up. Paying 1588 for two rooms, it truly wasn't worth the price.

Absolutely loved the hotel's design! The super cool neutral tones paired with metal and marble accents created a clean, sharp, and minimalist aesthetic, with every design element perfectly placed. Although the room wasn't huge, it was incredibly comfortable, and the bedding was top-notch. The smart elevating bar and table were also a pleasant surprise. The public area and lounge on the 5th floor were even more impressive – high ceilings, spacious, and a perfect blend of industrial and stylish vibes. The infinity sky pool is definitely a major highlight of the hotel, offering unparalleled views. The kids had a fantastic time playing in the water. The hotel service also exceeded my expectations – warm, attentive, and very satisfying! The hotel's location is unbeatable, right next to Qiantan Parkhui, and just across the street from Qiantan Park.
