“Shangri-La Shard's sky-high views”

Shangri-La the Shard, London is an exceptional sky-high hotel — unusually spacious rooms for London with floor-window city views (room 3901 faces London Bridge perfectly), an unparalleled outlook that made stays feel special, an in-room telescope for spotting sights, a rich tasty breakfast eaten overlooking Tower Bridge, a fabulous TĪNG dinner, and almost-too-efficient service — returning guests are recognized and greeted, with fast accurate check-in, checkout and storage. Minor note: window glass was slightly dirty, which softened photos.
