Mountain View Hotels in Shenzhen

STAFF APPRECIATION: Simply wonderful. I encountered many staff members during my stay, working in the hotel itself, the various cafes and restaurants, and on the beach. Every single one was professional and kind and so very warm. Several of the young people working there also spoke English, which was an unexpected pleasure and convenience for which I was grateful. However, I owe a special thanks to the lovely little sisters at the front desk, Catie and Xiao Kue. Especially Catie. This sweet young woman took exceptional care of me during my stay, seeing to every need, answering every question (in English, no less), and patiently guiding my drivers to the location when I arrived or chose to go out and explore. I am getting older now and often require clear instructions and visual aids. 😅 She kindly offered both. 非常感谢。🙏 HOTEL REVIEW: There are multiple warnings given before and during the stay about ongoing construction next door, but it had minimal impact on my stay and, if you're out exploring and playing, you won't even notice it by the time you return in the evening. As promised, it started at breakfast time and concluded by 6pm in the evening around dinner time every day. I choose this hotel deliberately because, while a little more expensive than its competitors and a bit off the beaten path, it seemed to offer more convenience and privacy. I was so relieved to see that this was true. Their beach is small, but well-maintained and private, which meant no crowd and plenty of opportunity to take people-free pictures and simply sit and enjoy the sights and sounds of the sea. There was also no shortage of dining options on the resort itself as well as nearby. Several fun, beautiful places to visit are also located a short drive away. However, if you're looking for a retreat, a place to simply rest and be close to nature, away from crowds, this place offers that as well. It was a welcome respite. I saw couple, families with children, and even a few other foreign guests all enjoying their time here. 🏖 Because I was on a budget this time, I chose the lowest priced room and was prepared to sacrifice my view of the sea. Unexpectedly, I didn't have to. This was a very happy surprise. ☺️ Though, I'll definitely try and splurge on a room on a higher floor next time as being near the entrance could sometimes be a little loud when guests arrived. Overall, I am completely satisfied with my time here and hope to return someday. TLDR; Wonderful, attentive staff; private, convenient location; stunning views; and several dining options all offer a very pleasant, worry-free getaway during peak season. Well worth the price and the journey. Every kind of traveler will find something to enjoy here.

Excellent, quiet “Gen-Z” resort with amazing views and seriously mouth-watering F&B. My parents have limited mobility and couldn’t manage the walk to the restaurant, so the staff kindly arranged room service and delivered a **whole steamed 东星斑** to our villa — essentially bringing the restaurant experience to us. Breakfast was also surprisingly generous, including **unlimited abalone** at the buffet. Service throughout was warm, energetic and extremely responsive. A big thank-you to the team for taking such good care of my family(!). I thoroughly enjoyed our second-floor room directly above the waves — falling asleep and waking up to the sound and view of the sea was wonderful. The only thing to be aware of is the resort layout. I would strongly recommend checking your room location with the staff before arrival, especially if anyone in your party has mobility issues. Depending on the room, reaching the restaurants may involve either a coastal walk or several flights of stairs. For able-bodied couples, the setting is very romantic and peaceful, and I’d say it is particularly well suited to couples travelling without young children. The resort is quite far in — our drive from Nanshan took around **2.5 hours with weekend traffic**. But honestly, if you are coming from Hong Kong, Shenzhen or elsewhere in Southern China, this place saves you an airplane journey, and the overall experience easily compares and in some respects beats many five-star resorts elsewhere in Asia.

Future Hotel Shenzhen Review (December 2025) Overall Rating: 3.5/5 stars Decent budget option for a short stay in Shenzhen, but falls short of expectations, especially if you’re hoping for a truly “new” hotel experience. Location: 4/5 The hotel is conveniently located right next to a pleasant park, perfect for a quick walk or some fresh air. It’s also just a 5-minute stroll to the nearest subway station, making it easy to get around Shenzhen without needing taxis everywhere. Great for travelers relying on public transport. First Impressions and Facilities: 2/5 Advertised as a newly opened hotel, but by late 2025, it didn’t feel fresh or modern at all. The lobby is unusually located on the 7th floor, accessed via an elevator that’s just beside a larger neighboring hotel. The lift area felt dim and outdated compared to the brighter, more upscale vibe of the bigger property nearby. The lobby itself is compact, dimly lit, and lacks any welcoming or luxurious atmosphere—more functional than inviting. Room: 4/5 The room size was surprisingly generous for the price point in Shenzhen, where space often comes at a premium. It was very clean overall, with a large, comfortable bed topped with four plush pillows, perfect for a good night’s sleep. The big flat-screen TV was a nice touch, and the bathroom was decently sized with a good shower and separate toilet area. No complaints on comfort here. Service and Issues: 3/5 The major downside was a frustrating check-in experience. Using the hotel’s systems, the receptionist assigned me to a room that hadn’t been cleaned yet, it still reeked strongly of cigarette smoke and clearly wasn’t ready. I had to trek back down to the lobby (7th floor elevator and all) to get a new key and room assignment. This kind of mix-up feels avoidable and soured the arrival. Final Thoughts Nothing particularly stands out or excels at Future Hotel Shenzhen—it’s serviceable and clean in the rooms, with a solid location and value for money, but the dark, dated common areas, misleading “newly opened” vibe, and the room assignment error make it underwhelming. I wouldn’t skip Shenzhen altogether, but I’d definitely choose a different hotel next time I’m in the city. Suitable if you’re on a tight budget and prioritize location over polish.

Overall, it was decent. The room environment was fine, but the location isn't ideal for families with strollers, a bit of a hassle. The service was very good. I accidentally left my earphones, and the staff found them and mailed them back to me. Their service attitude deserves a big thumbs up! We didn't get to take the scheduled photos, which was a bit disappointing as we missed out on a family portrait. While the sea here didn't have the rumored 'glassy' effect, it was at least clean and suitable for kids to play in, which I really liked.

A Memorable Stay at The St. Regis Shenzhen During a short family break in Shenzhen, I was impressed by the signature Champagne Sabering Ceremony held every evening at 6:30pm. As I had not made a prior reservation, I thought I would miss the experience. But Kimi Chen noticed my disappointment, and together with Chief Floor Butler Alice Chen, somehow managed to arrange for me to experience it on my second evening. It was a thoughtful gesture and a beautiful memory that will stay with me for a long time. My appreciation also goes to the entire St. Regis Shenzhen team. The room was exceptionally clean and well maintained, while breakfast offered an impressive selection of both Western and Asian cuisine. Sometimes it is not only the luxury of a hotel that we remember, but the people who make us feel genuinely cared for. Thank you, Kimi, Alice and the team for making our family stay so memorable.

Seriously unearthed a hidden gem! The environment is incredibly healing; opening the window reveals stunning views of green mountains and trees. The air is fresh, it's wonderfully quiet, and it's so relaxing to be away from the city hustle. The room was clean and tidy, decorated warmly and elegantly, and the bedding was super comfortable, ensuring a great night's sleep. The host was very warm, easygoing, and provided thoughtful, meticulous service with great attention to detail. The surrounding scenery is absolutely breathtaking, perfect for photos. Dining and staying here were both very pleasant, and it offers excellent value for money. I'll definitely come back for my next vacation and highly recommend it to everyone!

I highly recommend the Stargazing Hotel! It's incredibly convenient, easy to find, and great for both parking and getting around. There's a parking lot right across from the hotel which is cheap and never crowded. Plus, there's a shuttle stop downstairs, so you can hop on a bus to the Observatory or Wangyuling in no time. Check-in was quick, the staff were friendly, and the room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I felt very at ease, and personally, I think it's much more organized than a B&B. The price is affordable and offers great value for money, with no hidden costs. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I'll definitely choose this place again! The main draw is how incredibly easy it is to get to the attractions – just head downstairs, jump on the shuttle, and you're off!

This was a perfect hotel for us to land after a long international flight with young kids; huge hotel and compound which likely had its prime when it was first built 20 years ago; it needs a lot of maintenance and upkeep but the standout of it was its nature park access which is a must with young kids; so beautiful and lots of fun. It would be so nice if it became more popular again so they can restore the place to its former glory. Workers were really warm and friendly; breakfast was a nice touch.

The lady at the front desk was very welcoming. Upon check-in, I received a complimentary upgrade to a suite and two days of free breakfast. Facilities: Well-equipped and complete. Hygiene: Clean. Environment: Elegant and tidy. Service: Warm, thoughtful, and very service-oriented.

This hotel, designed in a classic Hakka architectural style, is perfectly situated in the heart of the ancient town, near Phoenix Valley. It offers a tranquil escape while still being incredibly convenient. We stayed in the Deluxe Suite, which was very spacious and featured a huge balcony overlooking the charming town. The room also came with a private large hot spring bath and a steam room – truly a treat after exploring the town. Soaking in the hot springs and enjoying a sauna after a day of sightseeing was incredibly relaxing. The hotel service was also top-notch, very warm and welcoming. They even gave us a thoughtful souvenir upon check-out.
