First acquaintance with MO, in Hong Kong.
Because of my brother, once when I went to Hong Kong, I specially lived in the old Mandarin Oriental. The facilities are slightly dated but the service is good and there is a feeling of being "taken care of".
After that, I wish I could live in every MO.
After Hong Kong, I lived in Beijing, Sanya, and Shenzhen, and now I have lived in four.
I still like MO.
She is very oriental, but it is by no means the kind of fake oriental color that is engaged in order to please foreigners, and she will not over-exaggerate her own oriental tone because she is an oriental hotel.
MO's style is restrained and subtle, with a taste of oriental tradition in it.
Today's article is Shenzhen MO's Report, which I went to live last week.
I was worried that after writing too long, I would not remember how I felt when I first lived in this MO, so I still grabbed a code.
MO has always been precisely positioned to do Luxury (luxury class) hotels. She is not cheap, take Shenzhen this one, the right thing is the ceiling of the hotel price.
However, MO is also a value. The service she provides is heartfelt, and the hotel details are also done to the extreme.
When I stayed in this MO, almost every waiter in the hotel could remember my last name, and as soon as I left the restaurant, the waiter was already pressing the elevator for me at the other end of the corridor...
The location of MO is also harsh to almost perfect, only open in the world's first-tier cities, but also must be the most core location of the city.
If you think about the 8 cities in China (2 in Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen), which one is not so?
The only resort MO Sanya, is a hotel exclusive to a bay, or a coral reserve, almost the best location in Sanya.
In addition, Shenzhen MO is also the latest luxury hotel in Shenzhen, and the hardware is naturally good enough.
Shenzhen MO, super on the photo!
In fact, from the number of photos I took in each hotel, I can basically judge the reliability of this hotel. The more I shoot, naturally the more I like this hotel.
My favorite shenzhen MO is her home bar MO Bar, which is somewhat like a Prohibition style bar. Inconspicuous secret doors, confusing secret passages, locked up wine, super cool.
There are several antique [movable type printing machines] in the bar, and guests can directly experience the whole process of printing and print out the wine list through movable type printing.
Shenzhen MO has 178 rooms, but there are 8 restaurants. The design style and cuisine of each restaurant are completely different, and the appearance of each restaurant is very high.
The lobby bar is called the Lotus Gallery, and the highlight is a whole green wall. AFTERNOON TEA OF THE MO, PUT HERE.
The pickpocket OPUS 388 is also what I like, because the value is high. It is a restaurant that looks good no matter how you shoot, with a retro taste.
The Spanish restaurant TAPAS 77, 77 floor of the high-altitude view, overlooking the futian and Luohu central area, TAPAS floor height is also very high, decoration is also good.
The Japanese restaurant is called RIN (Ichimoku) and is made of teppanyaki. There are very few seats, so be sure to make a reservation in advance.
The Chinese restaurant is called East Bay - run by Chef Hui.
This stay is late to say, because I have to eat, in the country named after the chef of the Chinese restaurant is rare, has its own confidence.
The all-day dining restaurant is called three meals, which means three meals a day, and the name of super laziness.
This is a "master", and you can find a shadow of moo's design in this restaurant. For example, the gears of the MO bar, the tiles of TAPAS, the greenery of the lotus gallery...
There is also a Mandarin bakery. Really, not an exaggeration. In the cake rooms of all the hotels, the most trustworthy must be MO and Peninsula, blind spots do not step on the mine.
Let's talk about the room.
Shenzhen MO room, 56㎡ jump, but most of the rooms are concentrated in 70-76㎡.
The layout of the room is quite reasonable, new Chinese style. But to be honest, if it is simply a comparison in room design, I personally think that Shenzhen Andaz is still slightly superior.
Mo's room is strong in configuration and hardware. The facilities in the room should be top-notch, Samsung TV, B&O stereo, CELESTRON telescope. There was even a pot of fresh orchids on the table, which was tasteful.
MO's kindness is also the same as always. I am the executive room, so there is a free Mini bar (except alcoholic drinks and snacks) and welcome fruits, pastries, nuts are generous.
The red wine I sent I looked at was Rafi Rothschild. I don't know much about wine, so I think that whether it is Rafi or Rothschild, at least it is a loud name.
Gave me a fan at check in. Well, every MO has a unique fan.
The fan of Shenzhen MO is a fan with Lingnan characteristics, inspired by the Southern Lion with Guangdong characteristics, giving it modern elements, painted with cinnabar, implying auspicious protection.
This time in Shenzhen MO, I ate three meals a day plus a afternoon tea in the lounge.
Breakfast is served in the all-day dining restaurant for three meals, buffet + a la carte format, with a lot of choices to choose from. Some of the old Canton steaming points and wonton can be eaten in Shenzhen MO. It tastes good too.
Pastries and desserts are the highlights, that is, early in the morning, it is really impossible to eat so many sweet and sweet things.
Lunch went to East Bay - led by Chef Hui.
Master Huang Jinghui's master name is too loud, and the Guangzhou Michelin two-star restaurant "Jiang - Run by Master Hui" is also its own. In guangzhou's gastronomic rivers and lakes, there is a saying: "Eat Cantonese food, you can always believe in Master Hui".
East Bay is also based on Cantonese cuisine, supplemented by fusion, and some Chaoshan flavors have been added.
In general, the East Bay still has the shadow of the river.
The two dishes of Huaiqi Xiangluo fresh abalone soup and roasted flaxseed crispy roast chicken in the picture below are also specialties of Jiang.
Roasted flaxseed crispy roast chicken is highly recommended, the skin is thin and shiny golden yellow, the chicken skin is full of flax seeds, smell crisp.
I feel that this East Bay is rushing to take a Michelin star and a black pearl to drill.
Gossip news The next Michelin city in China is either Shenzhen or Hangzhou.

Afternoon tea and Happy Hour are at MO's Executive Lounge.
The room I booked is administrative, so I can enjoy the administrative treatment. Shenzhen MO's afternoon tea dessert is quite a lot, but it is certainly not as good as the lobby bar to charge afternoon tea, but after all, the afternoon tea of administrative treatment does not cost extra money.
Happy Hour has a chef who cooks for you, with a choice of 4 main dishes, and you can take the rest of the food yourself.
Overall the quality is OK.
Finally, say something dry. How to order about MO?
Luxury brands rarely take the initiative to reduce prices, so the package is encounterable and unattainable.
Mo's best booking method is FHR, shrimp and other channels, there are often some live 3 pay 2, live 4 pay 3 package. And these bookings are counted as official channels.
Mo official channel booking, is can have the right to choose 2 of 8 (as shown in the figure below), generally choose breakfast, room upgrade is the most cost-effective.
More Po some photos of Shenzhen MO, this one I really like.
