Overseas Chinese Town is the most efficient hotel area for Window of the World, Splendid China Folk Cultural Villages, Shenzhen Happy Valley, and OCT-LOFT.
Area choice

Overseas Chinese Town is a strong base for Nanshan’s theme parks and OCT-LOFT. Its advantage is a compact western-Shenzhen itinerary, not citywide convenience.
Quick answer
For theme parks, stay around Overseas Chinese Town.
For OCT-LOFT and a slower creative-neighborhood visit, the same area works well.
For Shenzhen Bay and Houhai, compare central Nanshan or Houhai.
For business in Futian, stay in Futian.
Overseas Chinese Town: easiest for a theme-park day
Window of the World, Splendid China Folk Cultural Villages, and Shenzhen Happy Valley are in the same broad area. Families and travelers planning a full park day avoid a long cross-city trip by staying nearby. Check each hotel’s actual walking or metro route rather than relying only on the district name.

OCT-LOFT: design, cafés, and a slower pace
OCT-LOFT can be combined with one nearby attraction or used for an easy half-day. Do not add Yantian or Dapeng to the same day: those destinations are on the opposite side of the city.
Choose Houhai or central Nanshan if modern shopping, the bayfront, and business matter more than walking into a theme park. You can still reserve one separate day for Overseas Chinese Town.
