High-Value Hotel Check-in Guide

Unexpectedly, the Sheraton Shanghai Pudong Hotel exceeded my expectations! I hesitated before because of some negative reviews online, but this stay turned out to be quite pleasant overall—especially the location and breakfast, definitely giving it a thumbs up!✨ 📍【Prime Location Confirmed】 • Address: No. 38 Pujian Road, a 5-minute walk from Tangqiao Station on Metro Line 4, only 2 stops to Lujiazui • Nearby Amenities: Paris Spring Department Store right downstairs, Renji Hospital across the street (just in case of emergencies) • Hidden Perk: A 10-minute walk to Pudong Riverside Greenway, perfect for jogging along the river with iconic Shanghai views 🛏️【Room Experience Beyond Expectations】 • Standard rooms start at 35㎡, featuring Sheraton’s signature Sweet Sleeper Bed (the abstract painting above the bed is surprisingly photogenic) • Mini bar area has a hidden makeup mirror, bathroom with dry and wet separation + tropical rainforest showerhead • Real Feel: Soundproofing is much better than expected! No traffic noise even on the street-facing side 🍽️【Foodie Highlights】 • Must-try breakfast: Local-style braised duck + freshly cooked small wontons (way better than the Eggs Benedict in the executive lounge for me) • Executive Lounge Bonus: Floor-to-ceiling windows on the 17th floor facing Nanpu Bridge, stunning light during cocktail hour at dusk • Nearby Alternative: If you don’t want to eat at the hotel, the neighboring old brand "Xiao Shaoxing" white-cut chicken is worth a try 📸【Photo Tips】 1. Room sofa area: Use the bedside lamp for side lighting to capture a lazy, Instagram-style vibe (remember to place the Sheraton logo pillow front and center) 2. Lobby spiral staircase: Black and white marble background + metal handrails, wear dark clothes for a high-end OOTD shot 3. Executive lounge: At dusk, blur the foreground with a wine glass and capture the light trails of cars on Nanpu Bridge 💡【Practical Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 • Avoid room type: Don’t choose connecting rooms! Sometimes you can hear the TV from next door • Transport tips: Taxi to Disneyland takes 35 minutes, but the Metro Line 11 is recommended (hotel can arrange shuttle to Yuaqiao Station) • Upgrade hack: Use Marriott Platinum Card on weekdays during off-season and chat with staff, 60% chance to get a suite Although the hotel has been open for some years, it’s maintained more carefully than many new hotels. Especially the concierge guys, who run over to help when they see you with luggage~ Next time I come to Pudong for an exhibition or concert, I’ll probably book again! Personally, I don’t think the online negative reviews are that bad. This stay was passable in all aspects, and at least the service I experienced was quite on point.
