[2025 Shanghai Stay] Travel Guide for The Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai (Updated Mar)

University student review of the Shanghai Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel The Shanghai Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel is located at 889 Dongfang Road, in the cultural, entertainment, and business center of Pudong. Price Deluxe King Room CNY 470 (Pudong Travel Voucher + Enjoy Shanghai Accommodation Voucher) Check-in The front desk was quick and efficient! The concierge was very professional! Although we had a lot of luggage, the two bellboys were very enthusiastic and helped us take our luggage to the room. 1. Room type: Executive Deluxe King Room (upgrade) 2. Size: 48m2 3. Decor: The room was standard, with a vintage feel. The room was small, with a low ceiling, the hardware was poorly maintained, the cleaning was average, and the bedside table was dusty. 4. Room service Due to the large number of guests, service was slow, and it took more than half an hour for items to be delivered. When delivering the welcome fruit, the staff opened the door and entered the room without waiting for a response after knocking. The turndown service was sloppy, and the trash can was not emptied. 5. View: The room was on the back side of the three towers, so there was no view, just a high floor. Executive Lounge The lounge is located on the top floor of the hotel, with a unique two-story spiral staircase design, and a partial view of the three towers. There were a lot of people!!! The low price attracted a lot of cardholders, and it was normal to queue for food during happy hour. The food was standard, and refills were timely, but due to the large number of people, the experience was average. Breakfast We were in a hurry and didn't have breakfast. Facilities The subway station is a short walk from the hotel, but all the main lines are nearby, so it's convenient to get to other places. Overall experience: 4.2 Due to the low price and vouchers, and to check in at a Luxury Collection hotel, the Shanghai Hongta Hotel is worth a try. However, the overall experience was standard, so if you're looking for a luxurious experience, this hotel is not recommended! Although the hotel brand is positioned as luxury, apart from the Twinings tea bags and the Byredo toiletries, there wasn't even a coffee machine! The hotel sent an email in advance to ask about our needs, but there was no response after we replied. The hotel is always full, and it is said that it will be rebranded as a Marriott early next year, so if you want to check in at the last Luxury Collection hotel in Shanghai, you should hurry! (If you want to collect room cards, you may be disappointed, as the room card type is shown in the picture, and they are all custom-made by the brand, with no unique features.)

This hotel in Shanghai is definitely worth staying at. It's great value for money‼️ Shanghai🇨🇳One of the first five-star hotels in Shanghai❗️Old Qianfeng Hotel: Shanghai Hongta Luxury Collection Hotel🏨 As one of the first five-star hotels in Shanghai, Hongta has been around for a long time. The overall style of the hotel is still wooden and reddish-brown, which looks very old-fashioned. But despite its age, the hotel's maintenance work seems to be done very well. Pros: I booked a basic room, which is very spacious. In addition to a small cabinet, there is also a movable desk. It's very convenient to move it to the sofa in front of the bed and watch TV while eating takeout haha. (I've stayed in many hotels where the sofa and table are placed in strange positions... I think the placement in Hongta is very reasonable) The bed + pillow at Hongta is the most comfortable I've ever slept in Unlike most hotels that use down or something else as filler, it feels very solid to sleep on. As someone with cervical spondylosis, I love it!!! I love their bathroom and bathtub. It has a very retro feel. The bathtub is large and the backrest is supported, which is very user-friendly. It's hard to believe that it was designed more than 20 years ago. The designers at that time had already thought of everything, and it's even better than many hotels nowadays.

🔶Take advantage of the Shanghai and Pudong consumer coupons and visit The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong🏢, formerly known as the St. Regis Shanghai, which is said to be downgraded to Marriott soon. The hotel has a luxurious, old-school vibe✨ 🔶The top-tier guesthouse favored by government officials features guest rooms furnished with mahogany furniture and fabric sofas, which were considered fashionable and top-of-the-line 20 years ago👍. Now, it looks dated, with only a hint of charm that can be felt with deliberate effort. The full-room carpeting is relatively well-maintained. The service is excellent, with a human touch. The front desk staff and housekeeping ladies give a well-trained, confident, and capable impression that newly opened "fast fashion" hotels cannot match💫! 🔶The lounge is like a crowded Marriott cafeteria, requiring guests to register at the front desk and wait in their rooms for a phone call to dine. Fortunately, the dishes are varied and replenished very quickly!

Guys! You absolutely have to stay at this incredibly cost-effective hotel in Shanghai! It's one of Shanghai's first five-star hotels, with a classic, old-money vibe – it's The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai! This hotel has been around for ages, and the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in a rich, reddish-brown, wooden décor, super old-school. But don't let its age fool you, they've kept it in amazing condition. I booked a basic room, and the space was huge! Besides a small cabinet, there was also a movable desk, which I relocated to the sofa in front of the bed. It was pure bliss watching TV and enjoying takeout there! I've stayed in quite a few hotels, and the sofa and table arrangements are often bizarre! But not at The Portman Ritz-Carlton. Their layout is incredibly sensible. Let's talk about the bed and pillows. Of all the hotels I've stayed in, theirs are the most comfortable. Many other hotels use down or feather filling, but The Portman's bed feels incredibly supportive. I have cervical spondylosis, and sleeping on this bed was a dream! And the bathroom and bathtub? I absolutely adore them! They exude a vintage charm. The bathtub is enormous, with a backrest for support – such a thoughtful design. Can you believe this was designed over two decades ago? The designers back then were so forward-thinking; many modern hotels can't compare!

Marriott Bonvoy Elite Status Challenge for College Students 05 - The Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai I have travel plans after the New Year, so I don't have much pressure to stay at hotels recently, but I couldn't resist collecting a room card when I saw such a big discount. I've also heard that it has become a Marriott canteen, so I lowered my expectations in advance. Date: December 28 (Saturday) Price: RMB 430 after Pudong consumption + Shanghai consumption voucher Opening/renovation time: 2001/2017 Location: 500m from Century Avenue subway station, right at the junction of high-rise buildings and old neighborhoods, quite convenient. Public area: The old money style of the three old hotels in Century Avenue, it used to be a St. Regis, so the specifications are not low, the building materials of the Luban Award are quite solid, and it looks slightly better at night than during the day. Room: I booked an executive king room, but when I went there at 7 pm, there was no vacant room that had been cleaned, so I was given a regular king room, a reverse upgrade. But the rooms are all the same. The hexagonal bathroom is quite interesting, and there is a large mirror on the side of the bathtub facing the sink mirror, which is a strange design. The room does look old, but it's not as bad as they say. I tried the lounge chair that cost more than RMB 10,000 twenty years ago, and it was really comfortable. The view at night is nice, you can see the three-piece set. Lounge: In the first-floor restaurant, I didn't go for afternoon tea, the happy hour quality was okay, the desserts were slightly less, the food was replenished in time, and it was a Marriott canteen, nothing to say. Facilities: I didn't have time to go to the pool, the gym facilities are rich in variety, you can see that although it is old, it is also a good facility. Breakfast: In the second-floor banquet hall, this is a real canteen, crowded and noisy, the variety is quite rich, and the taste is okay. Service: The front desk feels quite professional, and I found a hair in the happy hour food, after I mentioned it, the manager came out to apologize and said he would serve another plate, but I was full and in a good mood, so I let it go. Location: 8.5 Public area/facilities: 7.5 Cleanliness: 7.0 Room: 7.5 Service: 7.5 Dining: 7.5 Summary: 7.5 The Hanting Hotel in Lujiazui costs more than RMB 300, what more can you ask for at this price? Come and check in before the rebranding, after the rebranding, there will only be four Luxury Collection hotels left in mainland China.

Stay experience at The Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai 💰Average cost About 200 per person, very cost-effective 🏘️Room type/layout: The room type for this stay is Oriental Suite 3606. The room presents an old money style, with a reasonable overall layout and spacious space, which can meet the needs of family stays. However, due to the long opening time of the hotel, the furniture and facilities are of good quality but have some wear and tear, which affects the overall aesthetics and some usage experience to a certain extent, but you can still feel the unique charm brought by the high-standard decoration in the past, such as the mahogany furniture in the room, which shows the luxury of the past, and the high floor can enjoy the 2.5-piece city view, with a wide view, adding a unique visual enjoyment to the stay. 🛌Supplies/facilities: The bedding is excellent and particularly comfortable, providing guests with a good sleep experience, which to some extent makes up for the lack of other facilities. However, the details of the hotel facilities do have some problems due to wear and tear over time, such as the overall hygiene is qualified, but some corners or details may not be in ideal condition, and the aging of some facilities is also more obvious, but the selection of supplies can still see the high-end positioning of the hotel in the past, such as some hardware accessories may have been high-quality products in the past, but with the passage of time, there are signs of wear and tear. 🧹Soundproofing/hygiene: The overall hygiene is basically qualified, and the daily cleaning of the room is in place, but in some details, such as corners, furniture gaps, etc., there may be incomplete cleaning, but this does not seriously affect the overall stay experience. The soundproofing effect is acceptable, ensuring that guests are not disturbed by external noise in the room, creating a relatively quiet resting environment, allowing guests to enjoy a quiet stay in the bustling downtown area of Shanghai. 💗Other tips: The hotel has a high level of service, and the front desk staff can carefully adjust the originally noisy suite near the elevator to a quiet executive floor room according to the situation of guests with babies, showing good service awareness and adaptability. Although it may be affected by the occupancy rate, the service performance is satisfactory in this stay experience. The hotel has a significant location advantage, with convenient transportation around, and the subway station is not far from the door. It only takes two stops to Lujiazui and only ten minutes to Jing'an, which is convenient for guests to go to various destinations, whether for business trips or leisure travel. Breakfast is served in the banquet hall on the second floor, with a variety of options and good quality. Even when there are many guests, the service can keep up, starting a good day for guests. However, the executive lounge is closed from December 27 to January 1, and the executive treatment is transferred to the western restaurant on the first floor. HH can meet the basic needs of satiety, and afternoon tea is slightly simple, which may be related to the recent large reception volume. The hotel originally had a high standard, although the hardware facilities are slightly old, but with its superior location and good service, it is still worth checking in, especially when there are coupons and other promotions, the cost performance will be further improved, but if measured by the normal calendar room price, it may make some guests discouraged, looking forward to the new look of the hotel after the renovation in the future.

Shanghai Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel 💰Average cost: Around 200 per person, very cost-effective, overall quality and cost-effectiveness. 🏘️Room type/layout: The room is located on the 38th floor. Although it is not a suite, the layout is reasonable, and the space is fully utilized to meet the basic living needs of guests. You can enjoy part of the view of the two-piece set from the room. Although one of them is blocked, the high-rise view is wide, and the overall view effect is good, creating a comfortable visual experience for guests. However, compared with some room types that can fully enjoy the iconic city view, there is still room for improvement in the view presentation. 🛌Supplies/facilities: The bed and pillows in the room are moderately soft and hard, not particularly soft, suitable for guests who like a hard sleep. However, the hotel is not equipped with a bathtub set, which is slightly insufficient. It is expected that this item will be provided in the future to meet the needs of guests who need a bath, and improve the overall comfort and convenience of the accommodation. In addition, other facilities in the room are basically complete, which can ensure the normal use of guests. 🧹Soundproofing/hygiene: The hotel is in good sanitary condition, overall clean and tidy, whether it is the corners of the room or the bathroom and other areas, it can maintain a good degree of cleanliness, providing guests with a comfortable and hygienic living environment, so that guests can live with peace of mind and peace of mind, and the performance in terms of hygiene is worthy of recognition. 💗Other tips: In terms of the surrounding environment of the hotel, it is a certain distance from the subway station, and it takes more than ten minutes to walk, and the convenience of travel is slightly lacking, which may not be friendly to guests who rely on public transportation. The decoration style of the hotel presents an old cadre style, but it is also unique. Although there is a situation of falling bricks in the bathroom, the overall maintenance status is acceptable, and it is not as bad as the Internet rumors. In terms of service, although there are many people staying in the hotel, the service can still keep up, but it took an hour to wait when checking in, and the efficiency needs to be improved. The afternoon tea and HH in the lounge are mediocre, with no particularly outstanding features. There are a lot of people during breakfast, and you need to queue outside for about ten minutes, and the quality of breakfast is average, and the variety and taste may not meet the expectations of all guests. Overall, the hotel score is 3.8/5. If the price is around 300 yuan, it is still worth recommending to stay. I hope the hotel can further optimize services and facilities in the follow-up operation to improve guest satisfaction.

Review of The Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai After a comprehensive experience, I give The Hongta Hotel, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Shanghai a score of 7.5 out of 10. 🏘️Room type/layout I booked a basic room for RMB 400 and successfully upgraded to an executive room on a high floor after communicating with the staff. The staff explained that due to the use of two vouchers, the hotel was very popular, and all the suites were fully booked, so there were no more room types available for upgrade. I checked and found that only the presidential suite was left. Before entering the room, you can feel its unique vintage charm. The door lock uses a card insertion design, which makes you feel like you are back in the past, just like what you see in the East Building of the DoubleTree by Hilton Shanghai-Pudong. The room also exudes a sense of age, but surprisingly, the bathroom is very spacious. 🛌Supplies/facilities The room is equipped with Byredo custom toiletries, which smell very pleasant, and you can enjoy the unique city view while lying on the bed. Although the hotel's hardware facilities show signs of age, the staff's service is excellent. They will take the initiative to help open the door and carry luggage when getting on and off the car. During the happy hour in the lounge, the speed of replenishing and changing dishes is very fast. The lounge offers a wide variety of dishes and a complete selection of wines. Here, I experienced for the first time that Long Island Iced Tea can be mixed, and there are also delicious soups available. 🧹Soundproofing/hygiene The hotel performs well in terms of soundproofing and hygiene. The room has good soundproofing, providing a quiet resting environment, allowing you to sleep peacefully during a tiring journey. The hygiene is also excellent, with the room being clean and spotless. Whether it's the bed, floor, or bathroom, you can feel the hotel's attention to hygiene management. 💰Per capita consumption About RMB 200 per person, very cost-effective 💗Other tips The service of this hotel is worthy of the brand positioning of Luxury Collection. There are rumors that the hotel will be rebranded as Marriott next year. Interested friends may want to seize the last opportunity to experience the unique charm of the last LC hotel in Shanghai.

From Sparkling Water, Still water, canapés, dinner buffer, salad and fruit bar, whiskeys, champagnes, red and white wines. One of the best Executive Lounges!

Radisson Collection Shanghai The hotel is old and the decor is outdated, so it doesn't attract much attention. However, it has a great location right next to Century Avenue, the service is good, and the food is excellent. There are still quite a few highlights. 🌟Room type: Executive Deluxe Twin Room 🌟When I checked in at the front desk, they upgraded me to an executive room and included breakfast for free. I wasn't even a key member at the time, so that was great. 🌟The rooms don't face the three-piece suite, they all have city views. The decor is a bit outdated, but there's an ergonomic chair and the room is quite big. 🌟There are no children's amenities or children's slippers. 🌟The food is excellent. The executive lounge is on the 40th floor and has views of the three-piece suite. The HH dinner doesn't have a lot of variety, but everything tastes good. The braised beef is the best. Breakfast is on the first floor and has a lot of variety. It tastes good and there's a lot of fruit, which is a plus. 🌟There are no children's activities or playrooms, but there is a swimming pool that's kept at 28°C and is usually empty. 🌟The hotel is right across the street from Century Link, which has shopping, dining, and entertainment. The lounge doesn't serve breakfast on weekends, which is a shame! The lounge doesn't have a lot of variety for afternoon tea, but dinner is quite rich and there's a lot of meat and vegetables. The variety of alcohol is also pretty good. The breakfast restaurant on the first floor is average and has some Shanghai specialties. The pool is pretty good, and there are a lot of kids swimming on weekends... There are plenty of lounge chairs. The view is of the three-piece suite, a bit of the Huangpu River, and the Nanpu Bridge. In addition to the lounge, you can also choose to eat at the Italian restaurant on the 39th floor. The reading room in the lounge is worth mentioning. It's full of English original books, which is interesting.
