This is the place you find the essence of classiness and sophistication that only time can sculpt. The refinement is not reflected from the flashy and shining emptiness of other new high-rises, but from its condensation of polished services and solidly grounded confidence that presented before you. The breakfast has more than 50 kind of delicacies including Swiss cheese, French croissant, traditional Shanghai steam buns (小笼包) and pickles that I missed for many years.

We checked in from the executive floor. The executive lounge server free drinks and cocktails for free. The hotel location is close to the former French concession area, where we walked to enjoy the unique architectures and ever changing daily life of the local residents.

We had a great hair styling experience in the hotel. The stylist recommended totally different but very trendy Asian style that we don't see in the States. We carried the new cuts to our trip to Hong Kong and felt fit in very well. We educate our stylist back in the States to throw the buzzers and pick up scissors.

The greatest experience came from the its health club. Our fatigue and soreness from the walking all soaked away in the gigantic Jacuzzi pool, wet and dry sauna rooms. The cold drink with lemon cut wake me up from the heated indulgence.

BTW, there are many flight crews with Australian accent stay here. We look forward to the next trip and definitely recommend this hotel to others to stay.
