In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The rooms we looked at average 60 sqm — wider than several Bangkok condos put together. You get a plush king bed, a bathroom that splits the tub and the shower, and a full set of L'Occitane toiletries. From the window the lights of the 599-metre Ping An Finance Centre glitter at night, and guests single out the desk by the window, handy for plotting the next shopping run.
Food and amenities
The indoor pool and the fitness centre on the 4th floor are free to use, and the Cantonese restaurant turns out a strong morning dim sum spread. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout. It is a straightforward set of facilities, but it covers what most travelers actually want from a 5-star stay.
Location and getting there
Location is where we hand out full marks. It is under 5 minutes on foot from the lobby to Guomao MRT station, and about 10 minutes more to the Dongmen pedestrian street and the Jinguanghua mall — close enough that one trip can fill a second suitcase. The tower stands out on its landmark corner, so it is easy to find your way back.
Things to know before booking
The starting rate is the highest on this list, so it asks more of your budget than the picks below it. The landmark district is lively and crowded — fine for shoppers, less so if you want quiet. And rooms fill up fast in high season, so book ahead if your dates are locked in.
Our take
We open the list with the Crowne Plaza Landmark Shenzhen and stand by it. The address is 3018 Nanhu Road, and reviewers consistently describe a quick check-in — English-speaking staff who scan your passport and have you upstairs in under ten minutes. From the reviews we read, a deluxe room runs about $111 a night — strong value for a 5-star IHG hotel scoring 9.3. If you travel as a couple, a family or on business and want a big room, international-standard service and shopping right outside the door, this is the answer.
