Amanyangyun

An amazing experience that truly lives up to the Aman reputation. Attention to detail everywhere, comprehensive and thoughtful service, and an incredible dining experience. It was the absolute perfect choice of hotel during the Shanghai Masters.

This is our fourth Amann property, and my first time staying at one in China. Driving here offered a unique experience. The staff at the entrance, upon hearing my name, wished me a pleasant stay, which felt very charming and added a lot to this trip! (I initially had a poor impression because of the pre-trip communication where I felt I was being passed around and had to make many calls). I came to stay because I wanted to see the art festival, and the room rates were good before it started. Also, I was craving Spicy Bamboo and their tiramisu, and it was our anniversary – so we came! Overall, the experience met my expectations. I think they maintained a certain brand consistency, but also showcased characteristics of our Chinese service – a bit cool, but everything is handled well, and WeChat replies are super fast, haha! They prepared a very rich anniversary celebration for us. I really enjoyed all the course experiences; calligraphy, matcha, and core training were all perfect for us. We also saw the entire art festival. I was very satisfied with the dishes at Spicy Bamboo, and I liked the tiramisu because it wasn't too sweet. It was genuinely quite perfect! The downsides were that I felt they were understaffed. The airplane noise at night was incredibly loud and frequent; I only got a chance to sleep after the Hongqiao Airport curfew. The outdoor pool was very dirty, full of fallen leaves and left uncleaned (this was a huge minus point). We also happened to be there when they were maintaining the lawn, which significantly compromised the privacy. As a staycation, I think it's a good choice and can be recommended.

An extremely satisfying stay! The service was exceptional and the environment was wonderful! The overall experience was fantastic. Our whole family had a great time and were thoroughly pleased. It combines the unique characteristics of Aman with modern hotel facilities and services. Simply wonderful!

Amanyangyun's design is beautiful, and the property is expansive. The entire estate is very peaceful, with a riverside, boat rides, a cinema, and even two white peacocks. Just strolling around is incredibly relaxing. The hotel offers a wide range of activities, making it highly enjoyable; you won't get bored even if you don't leave the premises. However, the string lights, food carts, and floral wreaths near the lake are quite out of place with the overall aesthetic and would be better removed. In terms of hardware, the gym is very well-equipped, and there are two large swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor. The water pressure in the guest room shower is particularly noteworthy – it's almost the most comfortable and ideal pressure I've experienced in any hotel. Room cleaning is also excellent; on the morning of my check-out, I went for breakfast, and upon returning, the room had already been tidied. However, there's a slight issue with the guest room door; if you let go after opening it, it doesn't close automatically but rather gets stuck, requiring an extra push to shut completely. Additionally, the air conditioning vent is in an awkward position, blowing directly onto your face when lying in bed. Overall, the service was the most satisfying aspect of this stay. Almost all staff members were very friendly, and the hotel was great at recognizing guests. Several times when I went to the restaurant, the staff already recognized me, and I didn't even need to state my room number, making the whole process very smooth. When there weren't many people at breakfast, food was served quickly, and tables were cleared very promptly; used dishes or rubbish were usually taken away immediately. At check-out, the hotel even gave several small gifts, and the turndown service gifts were also very practical, including the hotel's small tote bag and baseball cap, which I preferred over simple ornaments. The lady in the boutique also left a deep impression on me. She was very knowledgeable about the hotel itself and the stories and information behind the items in the store. Her introductions were very professional, and she had high emotional intelligence. However, there were relatively few items in the boutique directly related to Aman itself; most were from other brands, which was a slight shame. Of course, there were also some noticeable minor issues with the service. One time at breakfast, a staff member at the restaurant entrance opened the door for a foreign guest and ushered them in. I was right behind them, and she clearly saw me but didn't hold the door, instead turning away and letting it close directly in front of me. This detail left a poor impression. Also, in areas like the restaurant and spa, I occasionally saw a few staff members gathered together chatting, which was slightly out of sync with the hotel's generally quiet and restrained atmosphere. Finally, the location is indeed quite remote, making it suitable for a dedicated hotel getaway. However, if you frequently need to travel back and forth to Shanghai city center during your stay, it would be quite inconvenient. Despite these points, the good far outweighs the bad, and it's definitely worth a special trip and a return visit.

The environment is absolutely wonderful, with exceptional aesthetic taste. You can ride a bike to the nearby forest park. True to its master-architect design, it might seem somewhat understated to the naked eye, but in photos, the clean architectural lines and interplay of light and shadow really shine through. The staff were all fantastic—incredibly responsive to every request, gave us a welcome gift, and set up a butler service chat group without ever badgering us for a positive review afterward, which made the experience very comfortable. Since it wasn't peak season during our visit, there were very few people around for activities. The only downside is that there is indeed some airplane noise, though you can't hear it at night.

What an amazing trip! After dropping my sister off at school, I finally had some free time to myself. I wanted to reward myself before the hustle and bustle of senior year and grad school prep truly began. So, I chose Aman Shanghai, Yangyun for my first Aman experience – hoping to briefly escape the noise, find a moment of peace, and personally experience the service and lifestyle that Aman represents. From the moment I stepped into the lobby, every aspect was meticulously and perfectly executed: the attentive yet unobtrusive service, the instant responses from my dedicated service team, the gym, the restaurant, and even the traditional Chinese painting class, evening tea, and Yunjin fan making I participated in. Every single detail gave me a rare sense of relaxation and warmth. The staff here didn't deliberately try to create a 'luxury' feel; instead, they genuinely made me feel respected, cared for, and even gave me a long-lost sense of security, like returning home. Perhaps this is the true meaning of travel. It's not just about sleeping in a different place for a night, nor is it simply piling on so-called luxury with expensive bedding and exquisite furnishings. It's about slowing down the body, calming the mind, and reinvigorating the spirit during a temporary escape from daily life. I also particularly loved the sense of history embodied by Aman Yangyun's ancient trees, old houses, and the entire garden. Walking among them naturally evoked a quiet and solemn feeling. For me, those ancient buildings and trees, preserved through time, took on an additional layer of meaning: blessings, reflection, and new beginnings. I think that when I return to my studies and life in senior year and dive into preparing for the 2027 grad school entrance exam, I will still remember this day spent at Aman Yangyun – recalling this truly relaxing experience for both body and mind, and the spiritual comfort it brought me. I hope that when I'm tired in the future, this day will remind me: work hard, but also live well; and before chasing goals, it's okay to occasionally pause and gather strength for a new beginning. I wish myself great success in the 2027 grad school entrance exam, and I sincerely wish the Aman brand, and Aman Shanghai, Yangyun, all the best. Thank you for this encounter!

The environment is great, and the service is very thoughtful. Most requests were met. Although there were some minor issues, the hotel didn't shirk responsibility and handled them seriously and responsibly. Thumbs up! 👍🏻 The downside is that many of the furnishings are quite old, for example, some wooden floors are very worn. The light switches are poorly designed and not labeled. Since the room is large and has many light fixtures, it takes a while to figure out which switch operates which light every time.

We got an upgraded room, and the surroundings were naturally beautiful. The staff were all very attentive and thoughtful, and they were also very kind and loving with the children. The activities offered were diverse and enriching. It was a fantastic stay!
