A Hidden Gem of Boutique Hotels in Shanghai! Penhaligon's & Riverside Views Worth the Price

Opening the door, I was instantly struck: the bathroom features the familiar Penhaligon's, the window offers a full view of the Huangpu River, and even the glassware exudes quality — the Shanghai Expo Kapok Hyatt Centric Hotel truly pays great attention to detail.

🏛 Artistic Atmosphere Throughout the Space
🌟Design inspiration comes from old Shanghai Shikumen; the lobby’s copper carved window patterns, spiral staircase, and glass lamps in the rooms all have a charming vibe.
🌟Corridor art pieces, high-end custom floral arrangements, and bespoke fragrances (the scent is sophisticated, please share the fragrance name) create an immersive ambiance.

🛏 Highlights of Comfortable Experience
🌟Excellent bedding: mattress and linens stand out for comfort, ensuring high sleep quality (possibly Sealy?).
🌟Surprise amenities: bathroom equipped with Penhaligon's, the classic British fragrance brand delivers quality (resonates with my UK experience).
🌟Quality details: smooth Dyson hairdryer experience | RONA glass cups by the bedside feel premium | JING TEA tea bags are rich and aromatic.
🌟Riverside bonus: rooms face the Huangpu River with expansive views 🌆 (Lupu Bridge + Lujiazui skyline fully in sight).
🌟Thoughtful turndown service: Shanghai-themed heat packs + signature "white tea coffee" drink | cotton textile mini artworks warm the heart.

🍽 Dining Exceeds Expectations
🌟Breakfast: creamy avocado eggs | crispy croissants 👍
🌟Dinner (Little Nanyang Restaurant): traditional smoked fish is fragrant | lion’s head meatballs are refreshing | squirrel-shaped mandarin fish and roasted duck from the open oven are must-tries.

📱 Smart Experience
🌟“Xiao Mian” voice assistant can turn lights/curtains on and off (convenient)
🌟Temperature control not yet supported, voice commands need optimization (looking forward to upgrades)

📌 Suggestions for Improvement (for reference)
🌟Welcome gift: adding classic Shanghai snacks (like butterfly pastries) would enhance local flavor.
🌟Mini bar: including local snacks (like White Rabbit candy) would be more fun.
🌟Information guide: providing hotel facilities and nearby attractions info (digital or printed) would be great.
