**Context:**
As the epidemic is gradually brought under control and improved in China, tourism is gradually recovering, and business trips for business travelers are also slowly resuming. Recently, it is obvious that there are more people coming to Shanghai on business trips in the circle of friends. Are Shanghai’s hotels reassuring? Can people stay in them with peace of mind? Presumably, this is a question in many people’s minds.
**Experience:**
As the gold-medal experience officer of BTG Homeinn’s confession season, this past weekend, I specially experienced with family and friends the Yitel Premium Hotel (Shanghai Xuhui Store) located in Xujiahui area in the center of Shanghai. Here is a freshly released evaluation report for your reference.
**Location and Transportation:**
The hotel is located at 124 Caobao Road, Xuhui District, Shanghai. It is situated in the prosperous business area of Xuhui District in downtown Shanghai. Opposite the hotel is Guilin Park Station on Line 12. Next to it is Guilin Park. It is about 3 kilometers away from Xujiahui and about 0.5 kilometers away from Everbright Convention & Exhibition Center. It is very convenient for business trips or shopping and taking children out.
**Overall Introduction:**
Yitel Premium Hotel (Shanghai Xuhui Store) belongs to BTG Homeinn Hotel Group.BTG Homeinn Group advocates the ‘Selected Business Travel Way’, focusing primarily on business-oriented hotel services. The hotel is characterized by its intelligent and advanced services, including food delivery robots and takeout lockers, which pique the curiosity of two children.
In the post-epidemic era, BTG Homeinn Group has introduced the concept of ‘assured hotels’ to align with the changing times. At the front desk, guests are greeted with Taihuashi hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes, a leading brand in global cleaning and hygiene. This first impression instills a great sense of assurance. The rest area is designed with bright colors and a relaxing atmosphere, featuring geometric patterns that are very design-oriented. Complimentary tea drinks and snacks are available; the lemonade is particularly refreshing for summer, and our child enjoyed it immensely. The snacks include egg rolls and candies, which are popular with children. It appears that the hotel has paid great attention to every detail, not only practicing the selected business travel way it promotes but also being very family-friendly.
Room Introduction:
After completing the check-in procedures at the front desk, guests pass through a corridor and take the elevator to their guest room. The guest elevator requires a card for safety. The hotel has made many professional efforts to create a reassuring home away from home. In the rooms, there are detailed records of when, who, and where the disinfection was done, along with the provision of disinfectant wipes and disinfection utensils.The disinfectant wipes utilize the world’s leading AHP patented technology and can eliminate more than 99.99% of pathogenic microorganisms in one minute. The towels in the bathroom are soft, and there are also special washing and gargling supplies for children. The mattress is very comfortable. The soft and cute health-preserving pillow is also liked by children. The actual experience is a good night’s sleep. In addition, there are also thoughtful welcome fruits and midnight snacks in the room.
The desk by the window can be used by business people to work, and children can also use it as a writing desk for writing and drawing. Yuanbao writes ‘520’ on white paper with marker watercolors to feel the confession from hotels under BTG Homeinn.
Catering and gourmet food: Many details of the hotel can show that it provides a proper and effective business travel lifestyle for business people. There is also a special business meeting and leisure area on the first floor. You can work here, read books, drink tea, and conduct business meetings.
The restaurant on the first floor is elegantly and warmly decorated. They also offer afternoon tea, with a variety of fruits, small pastries, and salad bread. Although it may seem simple, it actually takes into account the nutritional balance, and both children enjoy eating it. On a lazy weekend, the family sitting together for a chat and a relaxed afternoon tea feels very pleasant, spending a warm family weekend.
The hotel’s breakfast buffet is quite rich, from freshly made noodles to Chinese buns and fried dough sticks to Western toast, bread, cereal, etc.It is worth mentioning that from June 8th, the first travel home has jointly launched a ‘Selected Business Travel, Meet’ series of food festivals in 1000 stores across the country, integrating local cuisine into the breakfast. The first stop is Wuhan’s authentic cuisine, mainly featuring ‘Wuhan hot dry noodles’, in an effort to support Wuhan. It’s great to be able to enjoy an authentic Wuhan breakfast in Shanghai! You can tell by the expression on the children’s faces how the taste is.
The surrounding environment of the hotel is the Guilin Park, an old park in Shanghai with a ticket price of 2 yuan. Inside, there are small bridges and flowing water, winding paths, rockeries, pavilions, fresh flowers, and grasslands, making it suitable for taking children for a walk. Overall, the hotel’s attention to detail is professional and thoughtful.
As a guest staying with children at the Heyi Supreme Hotel (Xuhui Store in Shanghai), you can sleep well, eat well, and play well. These are not only the three points that business people pay most attention to, but also the aspects that our family cares most about when traveling.
