We were very grateful to Joan Tam at the reception who had kindly arranged to change our room the next day. When we came back the next day, our luggage had been moved from previous room to our new room. We had really enjoyed our stay in our second room.

Our stay at Shangri-La The Shard, London was truly unforgettable. The room was gorgeous with incredible views, and every detail was perfect. We loved the gym, spa, pool, and the food—everything exceeded expectations. The staff were outstanding—kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The location is also unbeatable, with easy access to public transport and walkable to so much of the city. One of the best hotel experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!
