Heading to Shenzhen? Wondering where to stay? Here are my lists of hand-picked hotels for the top areas in Shenzhen no matter whether you are here for trade, business, holidaying and sight-seeing, or just skipping over from Hong Kong to do some bargain shopping. You will find the right place here.

Shenzhen has a mix of high-quality luxury, mid-range, value, and basic hotel and accommodation options. Most will accept foreigners but there are plenty that foreigners would not accept. It is a very mixed bag that caters to a very diverse range of people that flow through the city.

Shenzhen is also very large, it can take over 90 mins to travel from one side to the other by metro, so choosing the right location based on your planned activities is also key. While on that topic, the metro (subway) is fantastic, so being near a metro station is a boon, especially next to a station that’s on line 1. With that in mind, and with an eye for great value, here are my top 5 hotels in Shenzhen when holidaying here.

My Top 5 Picks for where to stay in Shenzhen

Shangri-La Luohu – 5 Star – located right at the Luohu border with easy access to the line 1 metro, and Shenzhen Railway Station which can take you onwards to Guangzhou and beyond.

Hyatt Place – 4 star – located near the Dongmen shopping area of Luohu, this hotel is right on top of the Laojie Metro station on line 1.

Shenzhen Luohu Railway Station Hotel – 4 star – Located tight on the Luohu border, at the railway station so you have very convenient access to the line 1 metro, the Shenzhen Railway Station, and Luohu Commercial City for shopping.

Shenzhen Luohu Century Plaza Hotel – 4 star – located near Guomao Metro station (few minutes walk) which is one station away from the border, and in the other direction Dongmen market.

Huaqiang Plaza – 4 star – located in the heart of Huaqiangbei, it is a the doorstep of a metro station on line 2 and a line 1 station is just a few minutes walk.
