The highest hotel infinity pool in Western Europe (Level 52)
Floor-to-ceiling windows in every single room with unblocked views
Heated Japanese Toto toilets that open automatically when you enter
快速了解: It’s an architectural marvel with a price tag to match, but you're paying for the view, not the square footage.
@_the_rover_tales 的评论: I booked this room for our anniversary and was blown away. The staff set up rose petals and champagne, and watching the sunset over Tower Bridge from the tub was the most romantic moment of my life. If you want to impress someone, this is it.
住过这里的客人说
The hype
The views are genuinely tear-jerking and the service is polished, but the rooms can feel tight for the price.
Reality check
Breakfast is excellent but expensive (~£47), and it's annoying that 'specialty eggs' like Eggs Royale often incur an extra surcharge on top of the buffet price.
You are celebrating a major anniversary or proposal
You are an architecture nerd or skyscraper enthusiast

清洁与维护
9.2
Housekeeping: Generally immaculate twice-daily service. Rare complaints about missed dust on high ledges.
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling marble. The high-tech toilets are kept pristine.
Maintenance: Excellent, though some guests report scuffed furniture or 'tired' carpets in high-traffic rooms.
Linens & towels: Plush and fresh. One isolated report of a 'damp' mattress, but largely 5-star standard.
Odors & scents: Signature 'Shangri-La Essence' scent in lobby; rooms are neutral and fresh.

常见问题和隐藏提示
预订前您真正想了解的一切。
Is the pool free for guests?
Yes, but access is by appointment only to prevent overcrowding.
Can I see into other rooms?
Yes. The Shard's jagged shape means some corners look directly into others. Use the blinds.
Is breakfast included?
Usually no, unless booked in a specific package. It costs ~£47 per person otherwise.
How much is the deposit?
High. Expect a hold of £200-£300 per night for incidentals.
Is it kid-friendly?
Surprisingly yes, they offer 'fox' plushies and kid amenities, but the pool has restricted hours for children (usually 9-11am and 3-5pm).
Can I open the windows?
No, the windows are sealed shut. The building is fully climate-controlled.
内部人士建议
✨
If GŎNG is full, the lobby lounge (TĪNG) on level 35 has almost the same view and is much quieter.
✨
The 'bath butler' service is expensive; just buy your own bath bomb at Lush in Borough Market nearby.
✨
Visit the pool right at 6 AM for the best chance of a solo swim.
出发前需要了解的5件事
💡The elevators have no buttons; you select your floor on a keypad outside.
💡The 'heated toilet' is a Toto washlet that greets you by opening its lid automatically.
💡You can hear the trains from London Bridge station faintly if you are on a 'lower' floor (36-40).
💡The room service breakfast is the same price as the restaurant buffet but includes the 'specialty eggs' without surcharge.
💡The wind can make the building creak audibly—it's safe, but eerie.
