Shenzhen
What is the consensus on the best property in town?
Will be here on business. I am a four seasons fan, but the pictures of the local four seasons are not very promising.

With all the great hotel options in HK, I would love to, frankly.
But I realistically will have very long days, and I should be based in town.
I think you linked the wrong hotel, as that RC is in Guangzhou. Generally am not a bit RC fan, but am willing to try it out if that's consensus.
Digressing for a moment, but how would I love to have, say, a Tony Chi-designed MO Guangzhou in Shenzhen!

With the traffic in Shenzhen i'd say your stay should be a function of where your meetings are taking place.
St Regis wasn't yet mentioned

As for the St. Regis, I get great feedback on it....but like most St. Regis, it feels like a bit of a hard sell for your typical FlyerTalker

All a bit much of a muchness.
With places like this, I'd highly recommend whatever gives you best bang for your buck/points back/points to use etc.
Also consider places you need to be at/visit for business/leisure - traffic in Shenzhen at peak hours can be annoying, and it's a fairly spread out city (vs something like HK).
I'm usually in Nanshan, so depending on where you neeed to be, avoid the Kempinski there as much as possible. Marriott in Coastal City is a decent option, as is the very intriguing Hotel Kapok.
By the way, when will you be there? I'm in Shenzhen 3-4 days a week (sometimes 5). Drop me a message
would love to meet up.

I thought the FS was good. Surprisingly affordable as well. But if traveling for business, I'd usually consider location a lot more than the hotel itself. If the FS is close to work, why not? It's not like you have many choices like you do in HK.

would love to meet up.That's good to know - will go for FS then, as distance works (and I am a bit of an FS fanboy).
