I finally found the coolest hotel in Shenzhen

Luxury in the Clouds – An In-Depth Review of The St. Regis Shenzhen Located on floors 75 to 100 of the KK100 Tower in Luohu District, The St. Regis Shenzhen stands as the city's highest-altitude hotel, offering breathtaking panoramic views thanks to its prime location. Just steps away from the Grand Theatre metro station, its convenient transportation adds to the ease of travel. Opened in December 2011, the hotel boasts 290 rooms, including 41 suites. The lobby on the 96th floor, soaring over 400 meters, is surrounded by 360-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, showcasing Shenzhen's dazzling neon nightscape and the lush mountains of Hong Kong's border. Inspired by sparkling diamonds, the lobby's design features exposed steel structures, creating an artistic "point-line-plane" visual aesthetic. Membership Level: Titanium Elite Room Type: Metropolitan Suite Cost: ¥1,459; Points Earned: 10,300 points ≈ ¥450 Welcome Amenity: Exquisite fruit platter The ground floor serves as the concierge lobby, while access to the 96th-floor check-in lobby requires a key card. Floors 76–90 house the guest rooms, while the 75th floor features a fitness center, spa, hair salon, and sky-high pool. The 95th floor is home to an all-day dining restaurant, and the 100th floor hosts the St. Regis Bar (offering happy hour). A highlight is the nightly 6:30 PM sabrage ceremony in the 96th-floor lobby, a ritualistic champagne-opening event. Standard suites on the 76th floor adopt a LOFT layout, with the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Though spacious, the structural design slightly limits the night view compared to regular rooms. While the room facilities show their age, the provided iPad allows for remote smart control, and turndown service is offered daily. The St. Regis Bar on the 100th floor opens at 7 PM, with a generous happy hour from 7–8:30 PM featuring four hot dishes like Thai-style pork neck and steamed fish, five types of Chinese buns, and three freshly squeezed juices to satisfy diverse palates. Breakfast on the 95th floor is equally impressive, with five fresh juices, Cantonese-style rice noodle rolls, slow-cooked congee, hand-pulled beef noodles, and meticulously prepared Eggs Benedict, showcasing a lavish spread. 🧹 Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Excellent soundproofing ensures a quiet retreat; cleanliness is meticulously maintained, with every corner of the room spotless and orderly. 🏘️ Room Type/Layout: The Metropolitan Suite's layout is well-designed, with a distinctive LOFT style. While some suites have varying views, all offer a unique stay experience. 🛌 Amenities/Facilities: Rooms are equipped with smart controls for convenience; fitness and dining facilities are comprehensive. Despite its age, the hotel is well-maintained and fully functional. 💰 Cost per Person: Costs can be kept around ¥1,000 per person, offering competitive value among Shenzhen's luxury hotels. 💗 Other Tips: Communicate needs via the app in advance for easier upgrades or personalized service; arrive early at the St. Regis Bar during happy hour for the best night views; breakfast can get crowded, so off-peak dining is recommended. In summary, The St. Regis Shenzhen delivers a unique luxury experience with its unbeatable sky-high views and attentive St. Regis Butler service. Despite its age, the service quality and facilities remain top-notch. Whether for business or leisure, it’s an excellent choice to experience Shenzhen’s charm—highly recommended!
