"The staff at the club were very attentive and know their guests well. Service is very good although the variety and quality of food served (the club) can be better. (Shangrila had cooked to order). The room was spacious and clean. Very comfortable. Well done, Westin. Definitely better than Shangri-la which I stayed in afterwards. The location and its pineapple like roof was also a wonderful way to help us navigate around Puxi. I’d give lots of thumbs up for the place. Fond memories."
