The Clouds Apartment

The Clouds Apartment Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Clouds Apartment feels more like entering a friend’s upscale residence than checking into a hotel — which is exactly what makes this five-star property in Nanshan so appealing. The lobby sits on the first floor of the sleek Shui Wan 1979 Plaza, and honestly, the name makes perfect sense once you’re up in your room looking out over Shenzhen’s skyline. There’s something refreshingly understated about the whole setup, where luxury doesn’t announce itself with marble columns but rather through thoughtful details and that unmistakable sense of quality you notice in everything from the elevator buttons to the hallway lighting.

Location & Neighborhood

She Kou Street in Nanshan is one of those areas that locals know but tourists are just discovering — you’re close enough to the action but far enough from the chaos. I mean, couples consistently rate this location a 9.1, and after spending time here, I get why. You’ve got Sea World just a short ride away, plus easy access to the ferry terminal if you want to pop over to Hong Kong for the day. The Li Yuan Road address puts you in this interesting pocket where international businesses mix with local life, so you’ll find both familiar Western chains and authentic Cantonese spots within walking distance.

The Apartment Experience

What sets The Clouds Apartment apart is that you’re getting actual apartment-style accommodations with five-star service standards. The rooms — well, they’re really more like furnished flats — give you space to actually live rather than just sleep. You know what I appreciated most? Having a proper kitchen area and living space where I could spread out my laptop without feeling cramped. The furnishings strike that perfect balance between modern and comfortable, with floor-to-ceiling windows that make the most of those city views. Plus, the staff responds incredibly quickly to any requests, which matters when you’re staying somewhere that feels more residential.

Practical Perks

The Asian breakfast here is actually worth getting up for — none of that sad continental spread you find at some places. They’ve got congee, dim sum items, and fresh fruit alongside more international options. Parking is available on-site too, which honestly saves you a headache if you’re planning to explore Guangdong province by car. The property has this interesting mix of business travelers and couples (the location really does work well for romantic getaways), and I noticed quite a few repeat guests during my stay, which always tells you something about a place.

Why Guests Love It

There’s something about The Clouds Apartment that keeps people coming back — maybe it’s the way it combines the privacy and space of an apartment with the amenities of a luxury hotel. The Nanshan location gives you that local Shenzhen experience without sacrificing comfort or convenience, and the staff genuinely seems to care about making your stay work for you. It’s not trying to be the flashiest place in the city, but for travelers who want quality, space, and a genuine sense of place, it delivers exactly what you’re looking for.

The concierge service in Shenzhen arranges private drone demos, chef’s-table dim sum tours, and yacht transfers across the Pearl River Delta.

• Khaliunaa from China (9/10)

  The room I was given was great regarding hygiene, location, easy access to the metro, mall, services, and the small private gym. The venue from the main entrance was full of artwork displayed on the walls. This cute set of bunnies with Easter egg lights displayed in the reception area caught my attention. My daughter got a photo together with the bunnies. I had a job interview that day and traveled from Dongguan – a 75 km drive in the heat of 32 degrees Celcius. My daughter was exhausted from traveling in the heat and getting stuck in traffic for three hours. It was a quite stressful day for us, but this hotel made our day. The staff members were so sweet and accommodating. They let us check out late at 2 pm the next day to allow us to explore the hotel amenities. I was able to use the small-clean-intimate gym. They had complementary bottled fresh water and a clean towel near the gym entrance which was super convenient. Thus, I want to say, "Thank you, Grade Hotel! You guys are amazing!"

• 旻霖 from Taiwan (8/10)

  Their atmosphere is quite different with others. It will let you relax easily as going into the room. They also provide the laundry room to clean the clothes. I like that service.

• Simon from Australia (8/10)

  Great location near Seaworld (10min walk), i was on floor 37 and the view was amazing over Shenzhen and to Hong Kong from my apartment. Staff were friendly and helpful, cleaning ladies were really nice and efficient, aircon was cold, heated floor in bathroom, washing machine and dishwasher as well. Overall will stay in this location again. Good food options downstairs along with a good coffee shop.
