Shangri-La Hotel At The Shard London

Superb

Exceptional

It was Breathtaking

Liked: "The location was absolutely perfect — just a 3-5 minute walk to the River Thames, surrounded by fabulous restaurants (including some lovely options right inside the building). The view of London was breathtaking, and the staff were extremely cooperative and helpful. The London Underground was conveniently located just around the corner."

Luxury with a view

Liked: The Shangri-La at the Shard is a modern, elegant place that is particularly well-situated in the centre of London: it is only a short walk from the City and is built almost literally on top of London Bridge railway station, which gives you rail and underground access to pretty much anywhere in London and the surrounding areas. Southwark Cathedral is only a few metres away, and the very lively Borough Market, with all its restaurants, bars, cafes and shops, is next door. The rooms are spacious and filled with light, and also very well-appointed and comfortable; most will boast excellent views of London, the Thames and a bewildering array of sights. We tried the swimming pool and sauna, on the 52nd floor, and again the view is breathtaking. The Shangri-La has a number of restaurants and bars, serving excellent food and cocktails: breakfast does not look as abundant and decadent as in some other hotels, but it is very high-quality and diverse. As one would expect, staff are professional to a fault, and did everything they could to ensure we had a first-rate experience!
Disliked: There seems to be some lack of clarity as to the conditions for using the swimming pool and the sauna: we were under the impression that one needed to reserve a time slot of one hour during which no one else would be in the sauna. As it happened, there were quite a few other people there: that was not a problem in itself, it just made it feel less exclusive and (at least as far as the sauna is concerned) less comfortable.

Very good
