The author visited these places: Shanghai published on January 4, 2020. At the beginning of 2020, I returned to the magical city. After picking up a friend at Pudong Airport, we headed straight to the hotel to check in. For the next two days, we stayed at the newly opened Greenland Q Hotel, located in the heart of Pudong Airport, with the East Sea on one side. Disney and the Outlets Town are just a stone’s throw away, making entertainment, shopping, and transportation a one-stop affair. This is a brand-new brand that, relying on the profound heritage of the Greenland Hotel Group, offers a new interpretation of the relationship between travel and hotels. From Chengdu to Xi’an, from Kunming to Nanjing, from Sydney to Guinea, from Los Angeles to Toronto, the Greenland Hotel has become a landmark building spread across the globe. The Q Hotel is a sincere work that has been accumulated over time. A journey should not only be about visiting famous spots in a hurry, nor should it be limited to crowded tourist attractions. Hotels should not merely be a place to stay during a trip. The Q Hotel redefines the concept of a hotel, integrating the charm of the city and its surroundings with the hotel deeply, composing it into the journey of each guest, and accumulating their own stories. The front desk of the hotel is different from that of traditional hotels; the Q Hotel has turned it into an open space, integrating the emerging fashion concept of ‘sharing’ into the hotel design, creating multiple shared spaces to meet the cultural, leisure, and social needs of different groups.Whether for work or vacation, in this open space, there is always a tranquil corner that belongs to you. The greatest magic of travel lies in the exploration and discovery on the journey. It’s about meeting new friends, listening to new stories, and experiencing a completely different new life.
In this vibrant, unique, and interesting interactive platform, you can not only choose to meet old friends but also chat with new companions met on the journey. The hotel bar offers a variety of drinks and is a great place for friends to gather, reminiscing about the past and discussing future aspirations, all with a knowing smile and a leisurely time.
Or you can sit alone here, order a drink, perhaps a glass of wine, counting the lost beauties or sorrows, basking them in the sun, and then carefully collecting them. To the left of the bar is a resting area where you can invite a few close friends to chat and discuss ancient and modern times in the afternoon, spending a leisurely and comfortable afternoon.
It’s also fine to be alone; you can hold a book, put on headphones, listen to music, nestle in a corner, and at this moment, the whole world belongs to you. Whether it’s self or social, a brand new day that is different, defined by you.
Next to it is another open area that can serve as a resting area or act as a meeting room. Hotels during a journey are not only spaces for rest and accommodation but can also transform into office spaces. The hotel has a large open area that can be flexibly divided according to different needs and can also be customized for different activities.
Whether it’s a product launch, cooperation signing, high-level meetings, or private parties, elegant wedding ceremonies, or intimate party revelries, everything is possible! Both vacation and work can find their own place here.
The hotel’s first floor features an intelligent self-service laundry room, equipped with convenient and interactive living experiences, turning laundry into a playful and entertaining activity. From the lobby to the guest rooms, a sense of design is present in every corner of the hotel, making the journey fashionable and exquisite.
The hotel is equipped with leisure bar areas on each floor, complete with microwaves and shared power banks. Just a few steps from the rooms, one can easily access these facilities and enjoy a social travel experience. The decoration of the rooms is modern and simple, yet filled with a touch of fashionable romance, perfectly matching the modern city of Shanghai.
The extra-large indoor washbasin, with the bathroom, shower room, and washbasin completely separated, allows life to be stylish even in this private environment. Leaning on the railing and looking out the window, one can take in the pastoral scenery of the Pudong outskirts, which is peaceful and tranquil compared to the bustling business district.
Waking up in the morning, open the window to greet the sunshine on time and then go to enjoy breakfast. The leisurely day starts from the hotel’s restaurant. A star-rated hotel naturally needs star-rated cuisine. In the layout and design of a hotel, the restaurant is definitely an important part.Taste? All Day Dining, the first-floor restaurant, is the crowning jewel of this artistic masterpiece. It masterfully blends the essence of Eastern and Western cuisines, presenting an extensive array of Chinese dishes alongside top-notch Western meals. The flavors are simply irresistible, with each bite delivering a sweetness that heralds the onset of joy.
The restaurant’s warm ambiance, akin to the tender gaze of the sun, envelops guests in a cozy and romantic atmosphere. Beyond the culinary delights, the hotel boasts a 24-hour gym, catering to fitness enthusiasts on the go. After a session of vigorous exercise, one feels rejuvenated, as if their body has been recharged with electricity, with every muscle echoing a comforting sigh.
In the heart of a bustling city, illuminated by the glow of countless homes, one wanders through diverse landscapes in search of a sanctuary for both body and soul. This hotel, with its exquisite offerings, serves as an ideal starting point for those visiting Shanghai, providing a respite from the biting chill of the year’s end.
