Signature Experience
Breakfast at Seasons Restaurant with table service — Kempinski's European service model translated to a Chinese business-hotel context, which reads differently than the typical buffet-led format.
European grand-hotel service traditions executed in Shenzhen's CBD, with proximity to the city's shopping and entertainment clusters. The 2016 renovation keeps the property current against newer Shenzhen luxury openings.

256-sq m, designed with contemporary European and Chinese decor
Best time: The ideal months are October and November due to pleasant weather and lower crowds.
Demand: Luxury travellers typically flock to Shenzhen in the fall and spring when the climate is most inviting. Demand peaks during major Chinese holidays.
Pricing: Ultra-luxury property prices tend to be highest during peak travel months and major holidays. Rates are more favorable during the low season in late winter and summer.
Insider tip: Consider booking experiences that highlight Shenzhen's innovative technology scene, such as private tours of tech hubs or exclusive dining at Michelin-starred restaurants.
Avoid: Avoid visiting during the summer months due to high humidity and frequent rainstorms.
