Overall the property was lovely as you’d expect for what it is, staff were friendly and very helpful, room was lovely and an amazing view of London. Mini bar prices were excessive for what was on offer but that’s your choice to use or not. Spent a lovely weekend celebrating my wife’s 30th birthday gift.

My wife and I had the opportunity to stay for 4 nights at the Shanghai-La, The Shard in London, and the experience was truly remarkable. The hotel was stunning. The hotel staff were incredible. We were even upgraded to an Iconic King Room with City View for which we were truly grateful. The view from the room was simply breathtaking, absolutely stunning. The panoramic view over London, whether at sunrise or sunset, is unparalleled. Amazing restaurant with fabulous view. Breakfast at Ting was a perfect start to each day. The buffet was exceptional with plenty of choices, as you would expect from a luxury hotel of this kind. Again we must thank the staff for their attentiveness throughout. We also had the chance to enjoy the spa and pool facilities. A true sanctuary of relaxation. A true sanctuary of relaxation. After a long day of exploring, the pool and the sauna on the upper floors, with its spectacular view over London, was exactly what we needed to recharge. Overall, The Shard is an excellent choice for those who want to experience luxury and sophistication in the heart of London. It’s a place that sets new standards for hospitality and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in the British capital!
