The Sukhothai is as always, AMAZING! I have tried other hotels in Shanghai, but they just can't top The Sukhothai. The rooms are immaculate, the staff is amazing, the surrounding areas are great - Cheesecake Factory at the mall and the giant Starbucks Reserve down the street. The spa is also wonderful. Will never stay anywhere else in Shanghai!

The reason I chose this hotel on this occasion was that when I stayed at the Sukhothai Hotel in Bangkok over New Year, I was informed that they had also opened a hotel in Shanghai. Consequently, I inevitably find myself comparing this hotel to the Sukhothai Hotel in Bangkok. I have stayed at that hotel numerous times.
My overall impression of this hotel is that it is a highly sophisticated, modern establishment hotel in Shanghai. While maintaining an air of formality, one could simultaneously sense the genuinely warm and personal service from each member of staff. Fundamentally, it offered a distinctively Thai style of hospitality, setting it apart from other top-tier hotels in China.
On the other hand, I believe that your Thai restaurant still has much room for improvement and growth. Firstly, as it is a Thai restaurant, all staff should know the Thai names of the dishes. It is unacceptable for staff to be unable to understand when customers order dishes in Thai language at a Thai restaurant.
As for the cuisine itself, comparing the dishes served at this hotel's restaurant to those at Bangkok's Sukhothai Hotel's Celadon Restaurant would be rather unfair at present. The essence of Chinese cuisine lies in the control of heat, whereas the essence of Thai cuisine lies in spices and herbs. The chefs at Celadon know everything: which spices should be ground when, which herbs to use in which dishes, and how to properly prepare spices and herbs.
