Which are the best luxury hotels in Shenzhen, China with executive club lounges? Our list includes Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen, Grand Hyatt Shenzhen, InterContinental Shenzhen, JW Marriott Hotel Shenzhen, Shangri-La Shenzhen, Sheraton Shenzhen Hotel, Langham Shenzhen, and Ritz-Carlton Shenzhen.

Shenzhen is an important center of technology, finance, and manufacturing. Some say it’s China’s Silicon Valley. There are many annual trade fairs on its calendar, not to mention it has superbly convenient access to Hong Kong and Guangzhou. The city was appointed a UNESCO City of Design in 2008 and is home to a large number of artists and industrial designers. Amid the energetic buzz of this metropolis, leisure travelers will discover nature reserves and city parks, world-class golf, museums, and historic sites, vibrant nightlife, and epic shopping, as well as the city’s famous theme parks.

Most luxury hotels do not have executive club lounges or concierge floors, with lounges offering complimentary food and drink. It is worth picking a hotel with an executive club lounge so that you can benefit from all the free food and drink offered up in the lounge, as well as the luxurious rooms, setting, and service offered by these wonderful hotels.

1. Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen

The 26-story Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen is located in the heart of Shenzhen, with easy access to Hong Kong and other major cities. It is situated in the new downtown business district of Futian. The city’s Convention and Exhibition Centre is located across the street, and the hotel is surrounded by major office buildings, three shopping malls, and a nearby metro station. Close by are architectural attractions such as the Civic Center, which houses the Municipal Hall and Shenzhen Museum, and adjacent are the Library and Concert Hall.

Situated just 10 minutes away are two Hong Kong immigration borders, Huanggang and Futian, for those catching international flights through Hong Kong’s airport, which is an hour’s trip by car. At the same time, Shenzhen’s Bao’an Airport is only a 30-minute drive away. The cities of Guangzhou and Macau are also easily accessed from Shenzhen by land or ferry, allowing guests the “best of three worlds.” We have already reviewed the best club lounges in Guangzhou if you want to visit both cities.

Wherever you are in the world, Four Seasons hotels are consistently one of the best hotels in that city or resort. This means that most Four Seasons hotel room rates generally start at $500 – $1000 USD per night and because they don’t have a Four Seasons loyalty program, you will never be able to book a free stay by racking up and redeeming points, or by collecting points on your credit card and spending them on a Four Seasons hotel stay. It can’t be done. But you can get discounts at Four Seasons hotels and benefit from special rewards at Four Seasons hotels for no extra cost by booking your next stay via our luxury travel concierge.

With its sleek and striking geometrical facade, Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen complements the city’s modern landscape. The hotel features a unique rooftop multilevel terrace with landscaped greenery and water courtyards, a welcome sight for guests arriving at the Hotel’s 6th-floor lobby. Set amid the elements of nature outside with elegant beige and taupe marble interiors, an art collection is bathed in natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows.

All 266 spacious guest rooms, including 33 suites, provide stylish comfort for relaxation and high productivity. Extra-large work desks with task lamps and ergonomic executive chairs; multiple international electrical outlets, phone chargers, and hi-speed internet access; flat-screen TVs equipped with media player, and thick plush carpeting are just some of the thoughtful features. Some rooms even boast a deep soaking tub with a view for the ultimate pampering experience.

The Hotel’s signature Zhuo Yue Xuan, Cantonese, takes center stage, with regional specialties enhancing the menu. For international all-day dining, FOO is the choice for power breakfasts and business lunches or a trendy night out. This restaurant has an outdoor deck and a waterfall.

Breakfast in the Executive Club is indulgent and excellent. There is also an afternoon tea, cocktails, and canapés served in the early evening, all excellent and filling. This lounge is as good or perhaps even better than the Ritz-Carlton Shangri-La, and Langham, but more importantly, the service is amazing. All guests can pay to access this executive lounge, so it is worth considering paying to access the lounge, at least for part of your stay.

The lounge’s food and cocktails are decent and comparable to other top hotels like the Ritz, Shangri-La, and Langham, but it is really the service that makes it stand out. Alcoholic drinks are also available all day, which may also be useful if you are suffering from odd hours related to jet lag.
