Shenzhen's four ranked hotels all hold MICHELIN Keys and one carries a Forbes Five Star rating, in a city that had almost no hotel stock of this kind two decades ago. Park Hyatt Shenzhen occupies upper floors in the Futian central business district, near the civic centre and the museum cluster, and Raffles Shenzhen anchors the newer Qianhai development on the western side of Nanshan.

Mandarin Oriental Shenzhen and Andaz Shenzhen Bay both work the bay frontage in Nanshan, close to the Shenzhen Bay Park promenade and the crossing to Hong Kong.

Where to stay in Shenzhen

Futian is the administrative and financial core, well connected by metro and close to the Hong Kong crossings at Futian and Lo Wu; Nanshan and the Shenzhen Bay waterfront hold the technology campuses, the newer towers and the Shekou ferry terminal; Qianhai further west is the most recent and least finished of the three districts.

When to go

October to December is dry, mild and busiest with trade and business travel; the city empties in the weeks around Chinese New Year, and the humid summer from May to September brings heavy rain and occasional typhoons.
