Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.78km from city centre
The staff were incredibly sweet and friendly. Seeing that I was a tourist from out of town, they proactively shared super helpful recommendations for attractions, even marking down hidden gems and local food spots in detail. I casually mentioned that the congee at breakfast was a bit cold, and to my surprise, the next day there were insulated warmers in the breakfast area! This kind of prompt and thoughtful improvement really left a fantastic impression on me. Plus, the location is super convenient, close to the high-speed rail station and a shopping park. I'll definitely be back!From€89

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.94km from city centre
To be honest, the service was truly excellent and felt genuine. From helping with luggage at the entrance to checking in on our experience after settling in, everything was spot on. We were staying for three nights, and the first room we got had two single beds pushed together. Even though the mattress was one piece, it sagged in the middle. So, they quickly prepared a panoramic suite for us. They didn't even discuss whether we'd switch out of the suite the next day, which I found really refreshing and not at all stingy on the hotel's part. However, the East Building gets incredibly crowded, and the elevators feel like they're in a residential building, constantly stopping and packed with people. I understand, but it wasn't my favorite. Another point is that the pool is outsourced, which I don't think a major hotel should do. In Shanghai, I haven't seen any hotel costing 1000/night that outsources its pool. I believe they should control the number of people allowed in.
Overall, the service is truly impeccable. Oh, and the breakfast is great value for money; the omelette is fantastic, and the soft egg pancakes are also really good.From€99

The service was great; someone helped with our luggage right from check-in. The room facilities were excellent overall, with an old-money aesthetic. I particularly loved the scent of the full set of Diptyque toiletries in the bathroom. The Executive Lounge is definitely worth it, offering fantastic city views perfect for relaxing and gazing out. Drinks are available from noon, which is a great perk for those who enjoy a tipple, and the desserts were delicious. I especially want to commend Mandy's service—she was incredibly warm and friendly, really adding to the experience. I'd love to come back and try a new room next time.From€208

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.09km from city centre
This is the service standard a luxury hotel should have! From the moment the reservation was confirmed, a dedicated butler was in touch throughout, proactively confirming our needs and making thoughtful arrangements. For my birthday stay, not only was our room upgraded to a Deluxe Executive Room, but we also received a custom cake and embroidered pillowcases – full of delightful details. Although the room had a classic feel, it was impeccably maintained. The Frederic Malle amenities had a sophisticated scent, and the marble bathroom was spacious and comfortable. The 24-hour room service was incredibly prompt; extra water or pillows were delivered in an instant. The treatments at Yué Spa on the 8th floor were incredibly stress-relieving, with seven spacious treatment suites offering an immersive and relaxing experience. The hotel is a tranquil oasis amidst the bustling city, perfectly suited for business trips, family vacations, or romantic getaways. I've already recommended it to all my friends who appreciate quality!From€195

The room was huge, and it's right by Dongmen Pedestrian Street, which is great for shopping. The room was extra spacious, with a living area, bedroom, and a sofa.

Lo Wu Control Point, Lo Wu Railway Station Shenzhen|6.34km from city centre
Just opposite the Shenzhen railway station. Convenient and Walkable distance but got to walk a round and cross the street to the hotel. Probably around 8 mins walk with luggage. Cant go via the underpass as there is no escalators.
Abit dated, pillow is too soft for comfy. Hence didn't really sleep well as it's too soft for me. Bed is also not that firm.
Will opt for this hotel mainly for the reason that it's just nearby the train station..
Had my lunch at the hotel. Pasta cost roughly around $20 sgd and is not bad too.From€75

Yantian (Dameisha & Xiaomeisha) Shenzhen|26.63km from city centre
This resort offers incredible value for money. Compared to Sanya, it cuts out all the unnecessary extras like small gifts and butler services, and I actually found the simpler service much more comfortable. The breakfast was good, with my favorite cheese and whole grain bread, and a wide selection of fresh fruits. The room was spacious, the bedding was comfortable, and the shower had excellent water pressure. You need to take a shuttle to the beach, but the private beach shared with the InterContinental is less crowded, and the sand is incredibly fine and soft! It's a huge improvement compared to the packed public beach next door. I'd definitely come back, but next time I plan to try the InterContinental, mainly for the convenience of swimming.From€62

The MIXC Shenzhen and KK100 Shenzhen|5.51km from city centre
My recent stay at the Grand Hyatt Shenzhen Luohu completely changed my perception of business hotels. It's not just a luxurious hotel; it's more like a tranquil oasis nestled in the bustling heart of Luohu. From the moment I stepped into the high-ceilinged, grand lobby, the outside noise faded away, replaced by an elegant artistic atmosphere and a relaxing aroma.
But what surprised me most this time was their in-room dining service! This was definitely the 'pinnacle' of hotel room service I've ever experienced.
* **Extensive Menu:** From authentic Cantonese dim sum and Chinese noodles/rice dishes to Western options, the choices were so abundant it was hard to decide.
* **Exceptional Quality:** The Stir-fried Beef Hor Fun tasted freshly made to order, and the temperature was perfectly controlled. My photography skills don't do the deliciousness justice, but the 'wok hei' (breath of the wok) in the Hor Fun and the juiciness of the burger were truly outstanding!
* **Attentive Service:** Delivery was prompt, and the staff were professional and courteous. After finishing my meal, one phone call was all it took for them to quickly and quietly clear everything away, offering truly seamless and thoughtful service.From€127

The MIXC Shenzhen and KK100 Shenzhen|5.01km from city centre
Shenzhen is never short of top-tier hotels, providing excellent options for celebrating special occasions. As a local living in Futian District, I've experienced several notable hotels, including the Raffles in Nanshan, InterContinental in Dameisha, and Hilton, Sheraton, and Shangri-La in Futian. This time, for my husband's 70th birthday, we chose to stay at The St. Regis Shenzhen in Luohu for two nights.
The hotel is located within the KK100 building, offering seamless access to Metro Lines 1 and 2 and KK MALL, making transportation incredibly convenient. Our stay was absolutely fantastic and exceeded all expectations. The hotel's environment, facilities, service, and cleanliness were all impeccable. The room was excellent value, spacious, bright, exquisitely clean, and equipped with high-end amenities. The bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. The walk-in closet was a great feature. The bathroom was very large with a separate wet and dry area, and the double vanity is a true hallmark of a high-end five-star hotel. Housekeeping and turn-down service were meticulous and thoughtful. We also received welcome fruit.
The hotel's service sets a benchmark; it's attentive to detail, comprehensive, and very personable. The staff at the concierge desk on the first floor and those at check-in on the 96th floor were all proactively polite, warm, and welcoming, leaving an excellent first impression. Both the male and female staff were attractive, highly professional, and spoke fluent English. A special shout-out to our room butler, JAY CHEN. He was handsome, polite, and incredibly nice. He proactively brought our luggage to the room, thoroughly explained the room facilities, and described the view from the window. He immediately brought the coffee and welcome fruit we requested. Upon learning it was my husband's birthday the next day, he promptly arranged and personally delivered a beautiful birthday cake on the actual day – a truly surprising, stunning, and touching gesture! Many thanks again to Butler JAY CHEN!
The buffet breakfast and lunch on the 95th floor were both superb. For lunch, we were served hairy crab and typhoon shelter prawns at our table, which was absolutely amazing! Excellent value for money! The chefs in the restaurant were skilled and very polite, offering proactive service. The dishes were unique and tasted delicious. All the servers were courteous, swiftly clearing plates and tidying tables with keen eyes and quick hands. They were responsive to all requests and provided timely service. Whenever we encountered staff or management near or inside the elevators, they would proactively hold the door and assist with scanning cards and pressing floor numbers, which was a very heartwarming touch. We also received a small gift upon check-out. These small details show genuine warmth and make all the difference.
Because we were so satisfied, we loved it. We will definitely be frequenting the buffet here and will choose this hotel first for future special occasions. I wholeheartedly recommend The St. Regis Shenzhen!From€159

There are many food options at the nearby Luohu Commercial City, and the hotel also has a 24-hour convenience store. The downside is that they're currently building the subway, so the road outside is a bit narrow and difficult to navigate. I'd like to commend the staff for their polite service. The gym doesn't have many facilities, but the space is large enough. Overall, it's pretty good. I'll stay here again next time I'm in Shenzhen.From€37
