Posted on 21:27, November 23, 2019. Shanghai, as an international metropolis, is full of business elites. When coming to Shanghai on business trips or for work, where to stay for more convenience and speed is really a headache. This time, I found a high-end business hotel with intelligent services, which is very interesting. Zhangjiang High-tech Park is known as China’s Silicon Valley. It is one of the four key development areas in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, along with Lujiazui, Jinqiao and Waigaoqiao Development Zones. Here, the framework of the biomedical innovation chain, integrated circuit industry chain and software industry chain has been constructed. So there are indeed continuous business people. Yitel Premium Hotel Shanghai Zhangjiang Store choosing such a location is really very wise. Location: No. 782, Cai Lun Road, Zhangjiang High-tech Park, Shanghai. Adjacent to the New International Exhibition Center, Disneyland, Changtai Square, etc. Transportation guide: There is a stop of Zhangjiang’s little train at the entrance, which is very convenient to go anywhere. It is a 20-minute walk from Jinke Road Station of Metro Line 2. The parking lot at the entrance is relatively large. Lobby section: In fact, the first impression of a hotel generally comes from the lobby. What surprises me here is that as soon as you enter the door, there is a cute intelligent robot. It’s so cute. At first, I didn’t understand what services it could provide. Later, I realized that it was so advanced. Sure enough, it’s in Zhangjiang. The lobby design is inclined to urban humanities. What surprises me more is that there is a round table full of postcards of Shanghai. You can take them directly. After writing, you can send them to friends in other places. The hollowed-out words on the service counter are very design-oriented. The waiters are also very friendly. For check-in, there are self-service machines. Quick check-out can also be completed on the machine. Shanghai hotels no longer provide six small items now. So the front desk will generally ask if guests bring their own toothpaste and toothbrush. It’s very considerate. Looking carefully, there are still many humanized details. For example, in the rest area of the lobby, there are many books and seats. Listening to music and reading books here and relaxing after work are also very necessary. Of course, there are also some scented teas, snacks, fruits, chocolates, etc. to welcome guests. The bright red apples look so tempting. Of course, if you want to hold a meeting, there are open conference rooms and single conference rooms. I personally quite like the open conference room. Projection equipment is all available. Of course, there is more than just this one place for meetings. There are also small open private rooms. There are wireless charging and notepads, notebooks, etc. on the table, so there is no need to prepare separately.
One distinctive feature of the hotel is the ladies’ restroom in the lobby, which comes with a makeup room. It’s perfect for a quick touch-up, complete with cotton swabs and makeup pads. On one side of the lobby, there’s a self-service laundry facility. The hotel also houses nostalgic antiques that add to its charm.

In terms of cuisine, the hotel offers three meals a day and even a bar, which is quite rare for a business hotel of this type. There’s also a self-service beverage machine with a surprising variety of products, including many imported internet-famous brands that are not easily accessible elsewhere. For those who enjoy a drink, the bar offers an exciting selection. The restaurant is located deep within the lobby and is divided into two areas, which can be separated for meetings or team-building events. The hotel also organizes various activities here. There are private rooms available. The area equipped with a projector and large screen is ideal for brainstorming sessions. The environment here is more romantic, making it perfect for enjoying a Western set meal with a cocktail. Chinese set meals with soup are also available. Breakfast is served from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM in a separate breakfast area, offering a variety of juices and yogurts.

In terms of accommodations, I stayed in the He Yi Zhi Zun Suite, which includes a mini bar with beverages, welcome fruits, tea sets, and even a sleep mask for a good night’s rest. I particularly appreciated the sleep mask and the late-night snacks. The hawthorn sparkling water and homemade egg tarts with red date porridge were refreshing and nourishing. They also provide yogurt, which complements the meal perfectly. There’s a capsule coffee machine and various types of tea available. The washstand and dressing table are separate, with a lit mirror, which is very user-friendly for women. The slippers are comfortable, and the bathroom is equipped with shower gel, facial cleanser, and sleepwear, so you can basically move in with just your luggage. If you’re in a rush during a business trip, you’ll find everything you need here. If you’re missing something, you can use the room’s Xiaodu to request room service, and the robotic butler will deliver it to your door. It’s quite an interesting service; you can ask for anything you need, and it will be delivered promptly.
Open it, and indeed there is one. Press it to turn it on. After taking what you need, close it and the robot will automatically leave. It’s super intelligent. Later, I asked the front desk and found out that this is also how takeout is delivered. Hahaha. Does it also have to moonlight as a courier? As for the suite, the area is quite large. There are sofas, writing desks, and bars. The bed is really super comfortable! The pillow is a specific latex pillow, which is better for the cervical spine. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. The toilet is electric, warm, and has automatic flushing. The brightness in front of the bathtub can be adjusted by oneself. If it is closed, it cannot be seen from the room. Of course, if you live alone and want to watch TV, keep it transparent. Staying in such a room during business trips or travels is really satisfying. It’s convenient and has convenient transportation. There are even souvenirs when leaving the store. There is even a small Japanese garden arranged at the entrance. Watching the small train pass by brings another good mood for the day.
