Expert Review: Shangri-La Shougang Park, Beijing
The Shangri-La Shougang Park, Beijing, a Michelin One-Key property, stands as a remarkable transformation of an industrial site into a modern luxury hotel, blending historical heritage with contemporary design and hospitality.
1. Overall Rating & Sentiment
The general consensus for Shangri-La Shougang Park is overwhelmingly positive, with guests frequently describing it as a "beautiful property" and an "amazing experience". It consistently receives high ratings, with a wonderful score of 9.4 out of 10 on Trip.com based on over 2100 verified reviews, and a 9.3 on Agoda. Reviewers often highlight its unique concept and exceptional value, making it a top choice for both leisure and business travelers, especially families.
2. Key Highlights
Guests are particularly captivated by the hotel's distinctive design, which masterfully fuses Beijing's industrial past with modern luxury. Designed by Milan's Lissoni Casal Ribeiro studio, the hotel retains the steel frame structure of the original Shougang Power Plant, incorporating towering ceilings, lush vertical gardens, and tranquil water features in the lobby. This creates a "living museum of rebirth" with a quiet confidence and a tactile expression of sustainability and innovation.
Amenities are another major draw, with an impressive wellness zone featuring a state-of-the-art gym and an indoor pool housed in a former turbine hall, described as "cathedral-like in scale". The hotel is also highly lauded for its family-friendly offerings, including whimsical family suites, a 24-hour Pantry Room with complimentary laundry machines and baby essentials, and a fantastic indoor playground. Its location within Shougang Park, a buzzing cultural destination with Olympic venues and public art, is also a significant highlight.
3. Room Quality
The hotel boasts 283 modern, stylish, and spacious rooms and suites, ranging from 42 to 84 square meters. Guests praise the rooms for being "very clean and spacious," with well-equipped bathrooms. The design in guest rooms takes on a more restful tone compared to the industrial charm of the main building, using muted colors, warm materials, and traditional Asian ornaments to create a sense of comfort.
Rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the Yongding River, Shijingshan, or the park's industrial landscape. They are equipped with high-speed internet, 5G coverage, air and water filtration systems, minibars, LED televisions, and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. Family suites are particularly innovative, designed with themes like "treetop," "ski," and "space" to enhance the stay for families. Soundproofing ensures tranquility.
4. Dining Experience
The dining experience at Shangri-La Shougang Park is generally well-received. The all-day dining restaurant, Shang Market, located in the lobby atrium, offers a sumptuous buffet for breakfast and assorted à la carte dishes for lunch and dinner. Guests have described the breakfast and dinner as "spectacular". The buffet features a wide variety of culinary delights, from Beijing roast duck and other local specialties to Huaiyang, Sichuan, Cantonese, Japanese, seafood hotpot, and Western-style dishes, all prepared with fresh ingredients. There are two on-site restaurants and a coffee shop/cafe, providing both local and international cuisine with garden views. Some guests, however, have found the breakfast and lounge food to be "very average" and wouldn't recommend ordering meals there.
5. Service & Staff
The service and staff consistently receive high praise from guests, often described as "helpful and lovely," making it feel like a "home away from home". The front desk staff are noted for being enthusiastic and professional. Reviewers highlight the "thoughtfulness, care, and comfort" provided, noting that unlike some luxury chains, this hotel "doubles down on what matters most" in service. Concierge services are also exceptional, with staff being highly accessible and attentive to guests' itineraries and needs.
6. Location & Accessibility
The hotel is uniquely situated within Shougang Park in the Shijingshan district, a "New Landmark of Beijing's Urban Renaissance". This location offers stunning views of Shijingshan and Qunming Lake, and is adjacent to the Snowboard Big Air Venue from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and other national winter sports training centers. While some guests note it is "far from the city center" and major tourist attractions like the Summer Palace (12 miles) and Tiananmen Square (14 miles), they find it an "oasis of calm" away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Beijing.
Accessibility is facilitated by its proximity to Jin An Qiao Station on Metro Line 6, allowing easy and economical access to city landmarks. Taxis are readily available, and the hotel offers airport transfer services. Beijing Capital International Airport is approximately 54 km away. The park itself offers a variety of attractions, including the Shougang Bridge, cooling towers, and ski jump platform, along with cafes and cultural shops.
7. Value & Pricing
Shangri-La Shougang Park is generally considered to offer "exceptional value" and is "worth the cost". Rates start from around £120 (approximately US$150) per night, often including breakfast. Prices for rooms can start from US$115, with buffet breakfast available for an additional fee of approximately CNY 184.23 (around US$26) for adults. Considering the luxury amenities, unique design, and high level of service, guests feel they receive great value for their money.
8. Common Complaints
While overall sentiment is very positive, some recurring issues or criticisms have been noted by guests. One complaint relates to room temperature, with some experiencing inexplicably hot rooms even with the AC off, causing discomfort. Another point of inconvenience mentioned is the restriction on bringing delivery food to the rooms, even by robot, which guests found unhelpful. Some guests have also found breakfast and lounge food to be average. While the staff is generally praised, one review mentioned that the service was "generally average and lacks attention to detail". Some minor issues like a night light that wouldn't turn off in a room have also been cited.
