A hotel stay and an evening walk

Expat Natt and her partner spend Valentine's Day on a Shanghai staycation, beginning at the Radisson Collection Hotel Xingguo. Natt tours their room, pointing out its spacious layout, comfortable bed, elegant bathroom and city view. The hotel provides a base for a walk through the Former French Concession, whose streets feel picturesque even in the rain.

At How How Coffee on Woi Road, they use a discount offered through the hotel's partnerships. Showing a room key can unlock offers at nearby shops and cafes, making the hotel stay relevant to their walk beyond the room itself. Their next stop is Charter's Garden, which has personal meaning for the couple because they celebrated their marriage there. The garden is a romantic place to pause and share a meal, and returning to it makes the outing more than a regular city walk.

Architecture and the hotel grounds

The following day brings clear blue skies and a visit to Wukang Road and the Wukang Building. Natt admires the architecture, which combines French Renaissance and Art Deco features and reflects exchanges between Chinese and European styles.

They return to the Radisson Collection Hotel Xingguo and walk around its landscaped grounds. Natt points out a century-old tree and enjoys the calm setting within the busy city.

The stay combines a special occasion, hotel amenities, a coffee stop, a garden with personal memories and an architectural walk. Natt's route shows how a short city break can include familiar places with new meaning as well as landmarks worth seeing for their design. The visit closes where it began, among the hotel's trees and landscaping.
