“Design-rich pet haven, untrained new staff”
Kimpton Nine Trees Shanghai is a newly opened, design-forward stay beside the Nine Trees arts centre — several stylish buildings, indoor and outdoor pools, a small pet park, and genuinely pet-friendly rooms stocked with pet supplies, with staff adding guests on WeChat pre-arrival (Len and Marianna praised). But newness shows: pets are confined to rooms and their gardens, pool towels triggered allergies for one guest, junior staff don't open card-gated doors (a stroller-pushing guest struggled while watched), no loyalty points on third-party bookings, wedding crowds made meals chaotic, and buffet trays sat empty with few staff.
