I go to a five star hotel every year around the Christmas period. I give up what would be my summer holiday to do this, because Christmas is my favourite time of the year and summer is usually too hot to enjoy anything anyway.

  • The terrible state of those doors is unforgivable in a hotel that charges that much money. And the state of the mattress is also unforgivable. I certainly would not pay to stay there even if I could afford it. I really would expect more from such an expensive hotel. And I can’t scan anything on my phone so that would be a big problem!

Seeing people out with family and friends and all whipping out their phones and not talking is bad enough, but when these places actually force people to bring their phones and use them. No thanks.

  • I was considering this for my wife’s 60th birthday early in the new year. I was planning to spend a grand (£1k) on a nice hotel with breakfast, plus an evening meal and a theatre show (another ~£500), but after this review it won’t be the Shanghai-La. The mattress is something that room staff should be checking every time they change the bedding with the current spate of hotel bed-bug infestations; so they really can’t claim they didn’t notice (or more worryingly, they are not checking!) The door leather damage is a clear example of letting a designer run wild with an idea, without ever considering the practicalities of real people bringing their oversized suitcases to the room - and that’s before the room staff scuff it with their trolleys when servicing each room. Finally, in a beautiful moment of spell checker irony, it autocorrected the hotel name to “shabbily” 🤔🤔🤔

  • Looks like the lower leather panels have been replaced since they don't seem to match the upper door panels. What I have learned is commercial building designs don't always factor in durability and maintenance, such as the doors and the lacquer-finished brass handles which wear and scratch over time. In the long run, chrome is much more durable material.

All for just over £550 for the 3 nights. London Shangri-la won't be on my list, although spent a few hours in the bar a few years ago instead of paying to go to the top, that was pretty special for a special occasion and seeing a helicopter fly past you was a bit surreal.

  • So nice that Gabby could stay as well. I love corner rooms. Your view was really good. The Hotel needs to lift its game if it wants to keep charging that much, it begins to get a reputation that isn't good. Shangri la's are usually better looked after.

    • I stayed at the Shangri La in Singapore a few years ago. It was one of the most amazing hotels ever back then, hope it still is. While our room wasn't a suite, it was lovely, comfortable and spotless. The service really made it special. I had to leave early to fly home to the USA while my husband stayed on for another 2 weeks on business. I'll never forget the staff telling me "Don't worry, we'll take good care of him". And they did, even reminding him to leave clothes in a basket for laundering. He came home with all clean clothing, perfectly packed.

That usually just means they have cut back on any service they can. Usually replacing it with a kiosk or something like it.

Amazing hotel for an average of £200 a night. Tip: Email the concierge and request a plant in your room, it’s a free service and includes a free bee bomb to take home.

  • Top tip for viewers - when a waiter pours you a small amount of the wine from the bottle, this is not to "try" it to see if you like the taste of the wine (and therefore decide if you will buy it!). It is to check /confirm the wine has not corked (reacted with the cork and gone off). You are supposed to just smell the wine (you can tell just by smelling). That's why this only happens with wine, and they don't ask you to try beers / spirits / cocktails. It is assummed you already know you like the wine, as you ordered it. If they open an expensive bottle of wine for you, and you try a little and say you don't like it, that could go on all night! It is simply to check it has not reacted with the cork and gone off to stop people drinking half the bottle then claiming it is corked (common in London). Please just smell the wine and confirm it is OK or not. Some low-end places don't even realise this and actually ask you to taste the wine as they think they are being posh in some way, without realising the consecquences if the customer decides they don't like it, so want a different bottle opening! Next time you order a £100 botle of wine and they do this, tell them you don't really like it, and see what they say ;-)

    • Sometimes when wine is being served by the glass, you can taste it to see if you like it. The wine is already open, so no harm. It happened to me recently. I was just getting one glass of red [hubby wasn't having any wine] and the waiter asked me if I'd like to try a couple to see what I wanted with my meal ... why yes! 🤪

    • @@intruder313, Obviously it's for tasting: see the color, swirl the glass a little, smell it and drink a little by rolling it around with your tongue. A good sommelier presents the cork and is only sniffed. In France, in several 3-star Michelin restaurants, the first tasting is done by the sommelier, and only after approval is it served to the customer or customers.
