Renaissance Shenzhen Luohu Hotel is a stylish hotel in Luohu, the oldest commercial district of Shenzhen and the closest to the Hong Kong border. The hotel combines contemporary design with a practical position, close to the railway station, Dongmen Old Street and the Diwang Building. It suits visitors who want to be among local life, markets and food, and who do not mind a busier, more urban setting. Rooms are typically bright and well equipped, with desks and comfortable beds, and the hotel offers a choice of dining and a fitness area. For travellers crossing from Hong Kong, it gives a short and easy first or last night in mainland China. It is also a good base for foodies, as the surrounding streets hold some of the city's liveliest eating. The metro takes you to Futian and Nanshan in about twenty minutes.

Seasons and timing
Shenzhen is warm for much of the year, with a hot and humid summer, a rainy season from late spring to early autumn and a mild, drier winter. Autumn is generally the most comfortable season for sightseeing in Luohu and across the city. Prices tend to rise during trade fairs and national holidays, so reserve early if your dates match a major event. Weekdays are usually quieter and cheaper than weekends for leisure travellers.
Practical tips
Ask the hotel to write your next destination in Chinese for taxi drivers, keep the hotel business card in your wallet, and set up a mobile payment app or carry some cash for small purchases. Confirm the check-in time and luggage storage if you arrive early, and ask the front desk about airport transfers, local tours and restaurant reservations. Before you leave for the day, check the weather forecast, because sudden showers are common.
