Le Méridien Shenzhen Bao'an 深圳前海華僑城艾美酒店 (Shenzhen, CHINA)

We are spending the next two days in Shenzhen with two other families from little nugget's primary school. For a change, Jelloman is calling the shots for this trip and she has handpicked Le Méridien Shenzhen Bao'an (深圳前海華僑城艾美酒店) as our hotel accommodation.



Located deep in the heart of Bao'an district, Le Méridien Shenzhen Bao'an is caught a bit in no man's land. It's not reachable by subway so our only mean of transportation is hired car service. 

While the wives and kids were busy hanging around the playhouse at Shenzhen Women and Children Centre (深圳婦兒大樓), us dads were already patrolling the lobby lounge of our hotel with our luggage ready for check-in. 

Check-in was very efficient and I gotta check out our room without much of a wait.

The spacious room was beautifully designed with European-style room furnishings to infuse comfort and elegance.

Less charming was the bathroom which was deemed a little too dark for an old man like yours truly.

We never did get the chance to check out this bath tub personally.

It was nice to witness some of the advanced technology (such as AI) that the hotel has decided to harness. Take the robots for example. They were doing a fantastic job sending delivery food from the lobby directly to the front of our room. Great work!

Our hotel package did come with two complimentary breakfast and it was a very good one.

Apart from the bacon and egg, sausages etc., there was an entire section dedicated to traditional Chinese breakfast food like congee, noodles and dim sum.

We had a pretty nice stay for two nights but would we like to come back some other time? Not likely. Transportation has been an issue throughout our stay and we spent way too much time traveling around on taxis. And we all know how bad the traffic is in Shenzhen.
