Indigo Hotels in Shanghai

The front desk guy (forgot his name) was great! 👍 The location is right by Shiliupu Dock, which is super convenient for a night cruise on the Bund. The downside is that being so close, it's quite damp. There's a spot in the restaurant perfect for photos with the ”Bund Three Treasures” (Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Jin Mao Tower, and Shanghai World Financial Center). Overall, it's worth staying.

I was very satisfied with the room. Located in Jing'an District, it truly embodied peace and tranquility. I loved the surrounding atmosphere, the hotel's Hollywood movie star vibe, and the large round bathtub. The breakfast was also quite rich. My only minor issue was that the air conditioning vent in the suite was directly above the bed, which was a bit uncomfortable. Everything else was perfect.

It's been over ten years since I last visited Dishui Lake. This year, my birthday happened to fall on a weekend, so I decided to stay at the Indigo Shanghai Dishui Lake in a Deluxe Lake View Room, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. The room directly faces Dishui Lake, offering an expansive, unobstructed view. In the evening, I could enjoy the entire drone show and the spectacular fireworks display right from my balcony, completely avoiding the crowds downstairs. For dinner, I booked the buffet downstairs. When I mentioned it was my birthday, the staff thoughtfully brought out a bowl of birthday noodles, which was a heartwarming touch. The biggest bonus was that breakfast is served until 12:30 PM, which is perfectly tailored for a vacation – they truly understand the needs of late risers! The hotel is right across from Dishui Lake, so after breakfast, you can grab a shared bike across the road and cycle around the lake, enjoying the blue skies, white clouds, picturesque lake views, and the sculptures hidden in the green spaces. If you're looking for a place to relax and enjoy the scenery, a lake view room is definitely worth trying.
