Dahongqiao Business District

Hongqiao Airport/Railway Station is one of Shanghai's two major transportation hubs. Because it is closer to the city than Pudong Airport, most visitors will prefer to choose it as the first or last stop on their trip to Shanghai. As a key planning project of the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan", the "Dahongqiao" business district has always attracted attention from all parties; today, the Dahongqiao area has Shanghai's largest National Convention and Exhibition Center, has held the CIIE, and has been favored by various large enterprises. Including as we know well, Father Ma has also selected Shanghai's headquarters, Ali Hongqiao Center, here. Therefore, for business travelers or tourists, if they happen to book an early/late flight or a high-speed train from/to Hongqiao, they don't have to choose to stay on the lively Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, nor do they need to live in Lujiazui to see the three great artifacts. You can consider staying around Hongqiao Airport!

Hongqiao Xiexin Shama Apartment

I would recommend this Shanghai Xiexin Shama Hongqiao Serviced Apartment, which is 10 minutes adjacent to Hongqiao Hub. As far as I know, Xiexin Shama Apartment is a high-end serviced apartment brand owned by Xiexin Family. I will feel more comfortable choosing a big brand. Every time I travel, I consider whether to choose an apartment or a hotel. In fact, many people don't know much about apartments and must pursue high-end and luxurious high-star hotels. However, based on my many booking experience, apartments are different from regular hotels. Hotels can also book long-term in addition to short-term stays. They also provide some more humane and personalized family-style services. Even the front desk of some apartments can call my last name. It really feels like going home and saying hello to the neighbors.

Transportation and location

Let's talk about the geographical location of the apartment first. Rail Transit Lines 2, 10, and 17 all reach Hongqiao Hub, and the entire apartment building is located on Shenhong Road north of Hongqiao Railway Station. It can be reached in 5-10 minutes by taxi. It is in the same area as Hongqiao Ali Center and only a 3-minute walk from Ali Center; directly opposite it is Xiexin Center, and it is only a 5-minute walk from Xingguang Tiandi Shopping Mall, so the surrounding commercial facilities are still very complete.

lobby

On the first floor of the hotel, you can see the front desk and lobby bar from the main entrance. In the center of the lobby is a carefully designed large-scale artistic sea flower shape, which I guess means that the city of Shanghai is as beautiful and charming as a sea flower.

room

Speaking of which, Xiexin Shama Apartment is like my home in Hongqiao. The apartment has 6 floors and more than 100 rooms. From a room with a minimum area of 50 square meters to a two-room suite with a maximum area of more than 100 square meters, it is suitable for 1 or 2 families. The first feeling I entered the room was that the rooms were all particularly wide and the beds were also very wide. The design of the room type was a spacious space that even European and American people would like. Compared with the size of the Shanghai hotel, which is a relatively more comfortable room type; The style of the entire soft dress is also very simple and European, with clean and generous color matching. The price is the unexpected price of a room starting from 500+. (The weekday price for a certain trip is also within the standard of travel expenses)

Not only the two rooms I stayed in this time, all rooms are equipped with a large refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, and a separate stove top that can cook vegetables, cook soup, etc. The kitchen is equipped with tableware and spatula, and the kitchen appliances and supplies are all well-known brands. The bathroom is separated from dry and wet, and has both a shower and a bath. If you are traveling on a business trip or traveling with your family during the recent summer vacation, it is perfect to live here. The two rooms are a two-bedroom, one living room and two bathrooms with a large living room space (dining room + living room).In addition to the one and two rooms, there are also open-plan executive rooms and the tight demand LOFT rooms. I would especially emphasize that all rooms are of the same height as the LOFT rooms, so the comfort of the stay is very strong; There are also parent-child large-mouthed monkey and little yellow duck rooms. If children stay here, children should like them very much.What I could feel during my stay at Xiexin Shama Apartment was: "The service industry now is no longer a simple commercial smile, but a considerate service that comes from the customer's perspective."

facilities

The hardware of the room, as well as the hardware facilities of the entire apartment, are no worse than those of the hotel. They do not participate in the rating but are equivalent to the standards of a high-end hotel. On the other side of the elevator hall on the first floor of the apartment, there is its own gym and yoga room, as well as a specially created entertainment space for children.

The lobby bar on the first floor of the apartment is transformed into a breakfast restaurant from 7:00 a.m. to 10 a.m. every day, offering a variety of Chinese and Western breakfasts; from steamed buns, porridge to bread and toast, Chinese stir-fried vegetables or vegetable salads, juice, milk or coffee, and there are also a wide variety of fruits, which are healthy and delicious.

surrounding

There are also some Internet celebrity check-in spots around the apartment. In addition to checking in Ali orange dolls, Star World, which is also a subsidiary of Xiexin, also quietly reveals a low-key fashion atmosphere. This is the second one in Shanghai. This site is located in Dahongqiao, an area full of future potential, and officially opened in June. It is a sunken commercial plaza with clear glass building shape. The coffee shop on the first floor, Liuli Palace Art Bookstore, bakery, dessert shop, and many interesting creative shops all have their own unique qualities.

The B1 floor now has several special Internet celebrity check-in spots during the exhibition. Spaces with different design styles are the most fashionable shooting spots at the moment. The mall will change its theme once a while. In addition, there is also a latest and very popular store in the mall. Rock Park indoor basketball court, I believe it will also be a landmark for basketball fans 'sports life.

free shuttle

Services Shanghai Hongqiao Xiexin Shama Serviced Apartment has a regular shuttle bus to and from Hongqiao Station. I am used to staying here the day before every departure from Hongqiao. I will not rush in the morning and I don't have to get up early; it is recommended to book one day in advance. If you plan to book this place during the CIIE or other exhibitions, you really have to book it long in advance. Judging by visual inspection, this hotel is already the most popular accommodation in the Dahongqiao area. It has only been opened for a long time and now the apartments are often full, so if you want to live in a satisfactory place, you must book early.
