What is the best way during a planned power outage to shut down a ESXi host server

Hello EE,

We have a building owner wanting to do power testing and needs us to shut off our equipment over the weekend.
I will shut down the VMs first, but what is the best way to shut down the ESXI host server?

use the vSphere client (or web client) and connect to the host directly; you can shutdown from there in the server actions after your guests are off
