I stayed at the Garden View Hotel Shanghai for four consecutive days. As a business person who travels to the Yangtze River Delta Industrial Park all year round, this hotel has engraved the four most important words of "efficiency first" in almost every detail of travel.
I rushed over from Hongqiao High speed Railway Station at around 10 pm late at night, taking the Beizhai Elevated Road and turning onto the Outer Ring Expressway. It took me more than 40 minutes to arrive at the hotel, completely avoiding the congested road during the evening rush hour. The doorman took the heavy item book bag from my hand and directly helped me deliver it to the front desk. The check-in process took less than three minutes, and the staff even handed me a cup of warm barley tea. Upon learning that I was going to the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone for a matchmaking meeting at 9am the next morning, they immediately arranged a lower floor business room for me, saying that I didn't have to wait too long for the elevator and that rushing early would save a lot of time.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I felt like I had stepped on all the requirements for business travel: in a 40 square meter space, a 1.4-meter-wide solid wood office desk occupies the core position by the window, the Ethernet interface is stable and not lagging, and there are six fast charging interfaces arranged around the desktop. Computers, phones, voice recorders, and work cameras can be charged simultaneously without grabbing sockets. The ergonomic chair next to it provides a strong sense of support, allowing you to sit for two hours on a project PPT late at night without feeling sore in your back and waist. The sound insulation of the room is particularly solid, and after closing the window, there is no sound of traffic from the surrounding industrial park. The revised plan can still be safely and confidently implemented until early morning.
The hotel's facilities are completely tailored for business travel: the 24-hour business center, where I had to print 20 color project brochures at the last minute, bound them in ten minutes, and even the cover was gilded for me; The self-service laundry room comes with independent drying and ironing boards. Customers can change their formal clothes for several consecutive days, wash, dry, and iron them, and then put them back on to the venue in less than an hour; The free underground parking lot provided by the hotel does not require advance reservation. You can drive to nearby industrial parks and avoid circling around the bonded zone to find expensive parking spaces, saving a lot of time and cost.
Geographical location is the core advantage of travel: only 2 kilometers away from Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone, with a ten minute direct taxi ride; 600 meters away from Zhouhai Road Subway Station, take Line 6 and transfer to Line 2 to reach the core business district of Lujiazui in half an hour; It's 15 kilometers away from Pudong International Airport and can be reached in half an hour by car. There's no need to wake up two hours early to catch an early flight. The small conference room on the second floor of the hotel is fully equipped, and I have invited three clients for a last-minute open and closed door meeting. There is no need to find an external venue, and the projection and tea can be set up in half an hour. The efficiency of business reception can be fully utilized.
Breakfast is served from 7:00 to 10:00. The freshly made small Wonton and hot fried buns are authentic, and the receptionist can pack a portable breakfast to take away in the morning without going hungry. When checking out, the front desk specially wrapped the heavy bid bag in a waterproof bag for me, fearing that the documents might get wet from the rain on the way. I have stayed in many business hotels in the Pudong Industrial Park area, many of which only meet basic accommodation needs. However, Garden View Hotel Shanghai has perfectly balanced the efficiency, stability, and details that business travel cares about the most. Next time I come to Pudong for a project, this will definitely be my first choice.Show more
