The best hotels in Qianhai, Shenzhen

Nestled on the banks of the Pearl River, Qianhai has rapidly become recognised as a dynamic tech hub of Shenzhen. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay during a visit to this Greater Bay Area city, we’ve curated a list of the best hotels in the area – including options for guests with different priorities, such as value, amenities and experience. To make things even more convenient, you can book your stay with Cathay Holidays. 

JEN Shenzhen Qianhai by Shangri-La

For best value

JEN Shenzhen Qianhai by Shangri-La offers a delightful mix of everything you’d want in a hotel. Amenities include an indoor and outdoor pool (the latter opens seasonally), a 24-hour gym with a boxing ring, an extensive selection of strength and resistance machines, and four classy dining spaces, two of which are bars. Rooms are clean and modern, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows offering sweeping views over the water. Guests also receive access to a common area, which has a coffee machine, vending machine, ice dispenser and laundry facilities. Check-in starts at 2pm, and the breakfast buffet is an add-on option.

Conrad Shenzhen 

For luxury

If you’re looking for a five-star stay, nowhere beats the Conrad Shenzhen. Not only does it offer unparalleled service and comfort, but a fantastic view of Qianhai Bay. Book a bay-view room or suite to soak up the panorama from the bathtub, positioned perfectly by the windows. Standout features include a large, sunlit indoor pool with sunbeds that gaze out over the region, a bar with a spacious outdoor terrace and a Chinese restaurant serving elevated Chaozhou cuisine. 

DoubleTree by Hildon Shenzhen Nanshan Hotel & Residences

For unparalleled comfort 

Much like the Conrad, many of the rooms at DoubleTree by Hilton Shenzhen Nanshan Hotel & Residences feature incredible views – visible from both the bedroom and the bathtub. The view from this hotel extends across the city, which is spectacular to witness as the sun sets. You have a wide selection of rooms to choose from, with some even offering a mini kitchen complete with a sink and microwave, as well as a washing machine. Room service is available around the clock.

KECHUANGJIUDIAN

For a stay that feels like home

KECHUANGJIUDIAN’s rooms have all you need – from all the basics to thoughtful extras – including a microwave, blackout curtains and an all-in-one washing machine. Smaller rooms are available for guests who don’t require the extra space, while the larger rooms offer sunlit, airy interiors that make working or relaxing especially comfortable. An extra fee of CN¥66 grants you access to the breakfast buffet. 

Hilton Garden Inn Shenzhen Nanshan Avenue 

For fantastic amenities

The interiors of Hilton Garden Inn Shenzhen Nanshan Avenue are warm and inviting, with splashes of colour and cartoon-themed décor for families with kids. The lobby features with ample cushioned seating and a café-like atmosphere, making it an ideal place to linger or work. Additional amenities include shared washing machines, a 24-hour gym with cardio machines and free weights, a pool table and even a gift-shop-cum-convenience-mart.

Sentosa Hotel Shenzhen Feicui Branch

For sport-lovers 

Sentosa Hotel Shenzhen Feicui Branch also boasts an impressive array of amenities, beginning with a large outdoor pool, located right next to the indoor pool. The gym offers more equipment and space than most, with exercise and bosu balls lining the shelves among foam rollers, yoga mats and kettle bells. Free weights and cardio and resistance machines are also provided. While the bedroom décor is vibrant, the bathrooms are spacious and come with bidet-equipped toilets.

ARTING HOTEL

For a boutique stay  

ARTING HOTEL stands out for its sleek and minimalist rooms, making the fine details shine even more, such as the large-screen TVs, stone-wall bathrooms and backlit vanity mirrors which add an air of elegance to your stay. Its proximity to popular attractions like Window of the World and public transport options is another plus, as is the great breakfast buffet.
