Shanghai Staycation: Discover this French Chateau near Hongqiao!

🤣 Too lazy to just lie around at home on the weekend? Join the trend and treat yourself to a hotel staycation! ❤️❤️❤️ The Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao is truly amazing near Hongqiao Airport/High-speed Railway Station!! It's a pure French-style building 🇫🇷 that's absolutely romantic 💕 Inside the hotel (just outside where you have breakfast, there's a courtyard) you'll find a waterfall view 💕 combined with French architecture, making it perfect for photos 📷 Ladies, remember to bring your pretty dresses for those Instagram-worthy shots! 👗 The hotel offers free shuttle buses to places like "National Exhibition Center," "Hongqiao Airport/Railway Station," "Panlong Tiandi," "Vanke Center," and "Hongqiao Tianjie," but remember to reserve your seat at the front desk 🚌 Yes, Panlong Tiandi is just a shuttle ride away 🚌 It's that newly opened, super photogenic commercial center with everything you need for dining and entertainment ✅ I always thought it was too far away to visit, but now with this staycation offering a shuttle bus 🤣 I decided to check it out!! It's indeed a nice commercial center (I'm tired of the malls near my home, so it's nice to see something different). You'll also spot many ladies in traditional costumes taking street photos 📷 Both the Chinese restaurant and buffet restaurant serve excellent food 😋 If you're too lazy to go downstairs, you can choose room service or order takeout—the delivery robots will bring it right to your door!!! Lounging around on the weekend is sooooo comfortable 😌 The hotel also has a SPA center where you can get massages and beauty treatments—perfect! 😍 Both the guest rooms and lobby bar have that French flair 🇫🇷 The bed is super soft and comfortable 😌 I slept straight through till morning (pull the blackout curtains and you can sleep even longer!!!) Having afternoon tea at the lobby bar is quite nice too. I highly recommend their macarons—slightly sweet but not cloying, truly delicious 😋
