What’s the deal?

Andaz Shenzhen Bay's understated entrance, hidden behind a wall of greenery, sets the tone for the “oasis in the city” theme that New York interior designer Tony Chi was after.

Just a short taxi ride from the Shenzhen Bay Port, the hotel is tucked among Fortune 500 offices, within walkable distance to the Shenzhen Bay Sports Centre. It’s also steps away from the neighbouring Mix-C Shenzhen Bay luxury mall, while construction continues nearby for a waterfront Shenzhen Bay Culture Park Museum.

Guests are made to feel as if they are patrons at a private members’ club; the main hallway is adorned with portraits of famous Chinese literati and creatives who inspire this vibe. Whether it’s delicate local fare in the in Chinoiserie-clad East Room, hearty steakhouse classics in the West Room, or a tea tasting at Mayflower, the five in-house restaurants are all designed to intrigue palates. After a satisfying meal, burn off the calories in the 24-hour fitness centre or relax in the lush 19-metre indoor pool.

Why stay?

This edition of the Hyatt boutique brand blends a modern touch with old-world charm. With a clean and contemporary design in a palette of cosy muted tones, the impressive Bay View Room features sophisticated touches like a giant marble bathtub, a mirror TV and a walk-in closet. Meanwhile, the floor-to-ceiling windows provide magnificent views of the sprawling Shenzhen Bay and Mangrove Nature Reserve.

Everything in the minibar comes free with your stay. The hotel promotes a sustainable amenities programme; you’re encouraged to take home your used pillow-soft slippers. Staying for a special occasion? Andaz Shenzhen Bay will spoil you with even more personalised touches.

Don’t miss

The Andaz Shenzhen Bay regularly collaborates with nearby art venues and can help arrange viewings for guests. Afterwards, head to the old-school Bar 1919 for a drink accompanied by a performance from the resident chanteuse. What’s more, all guests can enjoy free-flow drinks starting at 5:30pm daily at the open-plan lounge. Also, don’t forget to say hello to the adorable hotel ambassador, Max the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
