This time, we came to Xuhui, Shanghai to dock with the cultural and creative park project. We chose Hope Hotel Shanghai hidden in wutong District instead of chain hotels with high premium in Xujiahui Business District. I thought that the hotel in the old style area would fall off the chain of business facilities. After a week's stay, I found that it perfectly integrated the efficiency and appropriateness most needed for business travel and the unique relaxation of Xuhui into the streetscape set off by wutong.
Take Line 9 directly from Hongqiao Station to Zhaojiabang Road Station, exit from Exit 4 and walk for 5 minutes to reach the hotel. The entire 40 minute journey does not require any transfers, and you did not even step on the flooded road section on rainy days. The tall retro lobby was free of crowded people. It took only 3 minutes to check in. I learned that I would run to several cultural and creative parks on Hengshan Road and Huaihai Road in the next few days. The front desk actively marked three wutong paths to avoid congestion, which saved me at least 15 minutes of commuting time compared with the main road, and also conveniently blocked a guide note for surrounding 24-hour printing shops. The details eased the anxiety of multi site travel.
The administrative and business room I ordered completely met the needs of business travelers: the widened solid wood desk near the window was equipped with stroboscopic eye protection lamps, the gigabit network cable and 65W fast charging port were neatly arranged at the side of the desktop, instead of squatting under the bed to find a socket. Facing the wutong tree crown renovation project scheme outside the window, Siluo was much smoother than in the office building. In recent years, the intelligent upgrades have been restrained and practical, without unnecessary fancy decorations. The 24-hour constant temperature hot water output is stable and dense, and the customized spine protection mattress is soft and not collapsing. After staying up all night, taking a hot shower and lying flat can quickly relax the shoulders and neck that have been tense for two days. The most surprising thing is the double-layer soundproof windows, which almost completely filter out the sound of traffic on the street after being tightly closed. Even if you have to rush to the project PPT until 2am, you can still sleep soundly.
The next day's three party docking meeting was scheduled in the hotel's multifunctional conference hall. The day before, I only mentioned the need for dual screen synchronization of remote teams' screen casting. When I arrived, all equipment had already been debugged, and the supporting project data rack and hot and cold drinks were arranged in advance. Halfway through, 30 revised application materials need to be printed, and the business center can deliver the neatly bound materials to the venue in just 5 minutes, without interrupting the pace of negotiations. Busy until noon, having a light meal at the hotel's Chinese restaurant can finish authentic local cuisine in 20 minutes, saving at least half an hour compared to queuing in the surrounding commercial district.
After three consecutive days of project docking, I squeezed half an hour of leisure time and walked 10 minutes to wutong Road on Hengshan Road. I didn't have to take the time to run far. I walked twice in the wind, and most of my accumulated fatigue disappeared. The hotel's 24-hour self-service laundry room comes with a drying function, so formal clothes brought for business trips can be worn within two hours after washing, without worrying about changing laundry.
Throughout the entire journey, I hardly wasted any time on commuting or trivial matters. For those who run the Xuhui Docking Project all the year round, the good end result is never to build luxury and high priced houses, but to catch your work rhythm with proper supporting facilities, which can also give you a period of relaxation time hidden under the wutong tree in the cracks of continuous rotation. Next time I come to Xuhui for the docking project, I will definitely lock it in here directly. After all, it's really hard to find a hotel that can balance business efficiency and the atmosphere of old Shanghai so well.Show more
