Attractions in this video: The Bund, W Hotel Shanghai
It was a gray and rainy day in Shanghai, but Alex Again decided to turn it into an opportunity to fully experience the W Hotel on the Bund. From the moment he stepped into the funky, colorful lobby, it was clear this wasn't just any hotel stay. The building, built in 2017, is a maze of entertainment and luxury, with floors dedicated to pools, spas, and lounges. Wandering through the corridors felt like a scavenger hunt, but every discovery was worth it. The room itself was a highlight, with a stunning view of the Bund, a see-through shower, and thoughtful details like martini glasses and high-end bath products that made the space feel both playful and refined. One of the most surprising moments was the evening light show across the skyline, which Alex described with childlike wonder. Dinner at the Chinese restaurant Baya was an adventure in fine dining, featuring a multi-course menu that included unexpected dishes like pigeon, which Alex bravely tried and compared to duck. The breakfast buffet the next morning was equally impressive, with stations for fresh eggs, soup, and exotic fruits like white dragon fruit. Beyond the hotel, Alex noted how green Shanghai feels, with parks and rooftop gardens everywhere. He also observed that locals seem comfortable with filming in public, a contrast to other places he's visited. The stay offered a perfect recharge day in the middle of a busy trip, blending modern luxury with authentic local charm. Alex's personal insights about gratitude, the joy of simple luxuries, and the unique energy of Shanghai made the experience feel genuine and relatable.
