Shenzhen has changed immensely in the past few years with the introduction of large modern shopping malls, the artistic and trendy OCT Loft, and a plethora of mouthwatering dining establishments. Kids will love the Windows of the World, and parents will love the spas, tailors, and browsing cutting edge electronics. Only a quick hop over the border from HK, it’s one of the easiest ways to get your family away for a city break and immerse in Chinese culture. Even better if your kids are looking to practice their mandarin skills outside of HK. We loved staying at the luxurious and welcoming Four Seasons Shenzhen. The hotel offers all the best in five star amenities and are eager to ensure the little ones have fun too. Book an Executive Suite and you’ll automatically be signed up for “Suite Kids” if you are travelling with children. Our suite was fully set up with cookie decorating kits, juice boxes, a play tent and playmat, toddler friendly bed, and fun details to make them feel right at home. There are indoor and outdoor pools to keep them occupied rain or shine and if you’re staying over the weekend the Sunday Brunch, complete with a kids buffet, is a must try. Don’t forget your Executive Lounge privileges where parents can unwind during cocktail hour and try all the culinary delights on offer. If you are truly looking for pampering their decadent spa is a must visit. I fell in love with their Diamond anti-aging facial using Gemology products from France. The results were instant and I took a much needed nap after the busy weekend. Now with a fast train right to the city, Shenzhen is such a great option for a short getaway. Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen are currently offering promotions for those who book early and even have a “Stay Longer -Third Night Free” package with a complimentary third night entitlement with every two consecutive paid nights. What a great excuse to book now.
