Hyatt Regency Shanghai Songjiang

They make us an upgrade in a fantastic suite room. Amazing view.

Great spot on the river. Room came with tickets to Smurf paradise and free upgrade to executive club access which were both enjoyed! The breakfast is the best we’ve had in China, more variety of fruit, fruit juice, pastries, bread etc and pastries were freshly cooked. Very vast selection, all good quality. Hotel has really nice rooms, new and clean decor, good facilities like indoor/outdoor pool. The service was also better than most other similar hotels I’ve stayed at. 2 things to note ; 1) our room was uncomfortably hot and we couldn’t sleep well, I’m not sure what the issue was but the service was very good. They came up with different solutions and brought us an AC unit in the end. They were very helpful, it’s just a shame it was still too hot. 2) the pool has a weird policy where no spectators are allowed, which I’ve never come across in a hotel before, and I didn’t really understand the rationale. In the 5 minutes I was in there I saw 3 other women sent away who were equally bemused. 1 was accompanying her daughter, who then couldn’t swim as mum wasn’t allowed to stay and watch, poor girl! I just wanted to watch and take videos of my 2 year old playing with her Dad. It was a little disappointing. Anyway, great hotel- we’ll go back.
