At the beginning of the year, I noticed that a new hotel, Kapok Hyatt Select Hotel, opened here in Expo Land. I waited day and night until it finally opened, and I came to experience it immediately. As expected, it is a product of Hyatt, and it is worth waiting. The entire decoration style is very luxurious and decadent in old Shanghai, as if I had traveled back to the Shanghai Bund, which was known as the adventurer's paradise with its bright lights and women.
About the hotel:
As soon as you enter the hotel, you will be amazed by the parquet floor, the texture of the leather sofa, the dark blinds on the wall, the spiral staircase of the old mansion, and the Art Deco style decoration, which allow customers to experience the old Shanghai culture and the daily life of celebrities in person.
About the room:
When you come to the guest room, from the intelligent configuration to the Sealy bedding, capsule coffee machine, and Penhaligon's fragrance toiletries, customers can get the ultimate pleasure experience physically and mentally.
1. The hotel rooms are simple and simple, with a Nanyang-style wooden structure, and the texture is satisfactory~
2. The "Xiaomian, Xiaomian" whole-house intelligent control system is also very easy to use. From turning on the lights and windows to making calls, the whole process is voice controlled, which is very convenient!
3. The room also has a cloakroom, a safe, a full-length mirror, a beverage cabinet, a refrigerator, etc.
4. Independent bathroom, dry and wet separation, standard Dyson hair dryer, toiletries from the British high-end brand "Penhaligon", super smelling~
About meals:
Food is also a part of Kapok that cannot be missed:
1. The first floor of Sugar Cube provides healthy light meals, simple meals and various coffee and soft drinks. Their egg tarts are especially recommended, with rich milk flavor, crispy outside and tender inside, and dense and soft egg liquid.
2. The Xiaonanyang restaurant on the fourth floor is inspired by the old Shanghai mansion. The buffet breakfast provided in the morning is not only varied, but also tastes amazing. Their small wontons, Spanish black pig ham, and freshly ground coffee are especially recommended. At noon, I also experienced the main Huaiyang and local dishes in Xiaonanyang. This is probably the only hotel restaurant in Shanghai that has open-fire roast duck. Because I was too full for breakfast, I had pre-meal fruit, ancient smoked fish, fried river shrimp, jasmine stewed shrimp roe lion head, fish fillet boiled with dried shreds, garden vegetables, and onion oil noodles for lunch. Even though I had no appetite, I still thought the dishes were very delicious, which shows the strength of the chef.
About the location:
Located in the new landmark Expo World in Pudong, next to the Expo Exhibition Hall and the China Art Palace, the room faces the first-line river view of the Huangpu River, one side is the Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center and the three-piece set overlooking Pudong, and the other side is the Lupu Bridge and the opposite bank of the river. It is especially beautiful at sunset!
About service:
Finally, I would like to thank the front desk staff Echo for her exquisite service throughout the whole process. She is not only beautiful and kind, but also very patient and meticulous, which gave me a very good experience. I will definitely come again next time
