88 신톈디 부티크 호텔 상하이

I have been staying here for some years. I've written reviews before and now I'm doing it again because this hotel just keeps delivering the best hotel experience I have had anywhere in the world and I do travel extensively. In some respects it is quirky, but in a very nice way that makes it more endearing and my home away from home. I take this opportunity to also thank the hotel manager Serge van Vegten. You are in a class of your own. Well done!

Located in the heart of Xintiandi. Quite far from Pudong. Great Manager at the hotel! The room is not huge but very well appointed. If you want an intimate setting to stay, this is it. Very small lobby and no room service for food or bar.

We very much enjoyed our stay at 88 Xintiandi. We were booked for two nights initially, but decided we wanted to stay longer in Shanghai so we ended up staying for a week. We were able to stay in the same room the entire week, which was perfect. After a long day of photographing and traipsing about the city it was always a pleasure to come back to our little oasis. The one thing the hotel could have done better is the shower/tub combo. It just wasn't up to par. Also, I cannot say enough good about Serge, the manager. He was wonderful in making us feel so welcome and suggesting interesting places to go. Unfortunately, 88 Xintiandi will be closing it's doors at the end of July. So if you are planning on going to Shanghai between now and then, book a room at this hotel. You won't regret it. P.S. The Langham would be stupid not to hire Serge on after 88 Xintiandi closes its doors. He is a wonderful asset.

We love the location where you can talk a walk not far to any interesting places in Shanghai.

The manager was very helpful and friendly, and the breakfast served was fantastic.
