Our stay at the hotel was absolutely outstanding a perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and truly personal service.
The room was beautifully designed, spacious, and spotless, with every detail thoughtfully prepared to ensure complete comfort. Everything felt intentional from the soft bed and soothing lighting to the fragrance and elegant décor. It’s clear that the hotel takes great pride in creating an atmosphere that feels both premium and warm.
The Executive Lounge was a true highlight. Calm, elegant, and filled with high-quality food and drinks throughout the day. Spending our evenings there, overlooking the stunning city skyline with a glass of wine or coffee, was an unforgettable experience.
Breakfast was simply exceptional a rich selection of fresh, delicious dishes, beautifully presented and constantly replenished. From made-to-order eggs to fresh pastries, fruits, cheeses, and juices every item was top quality. The staff made sure each morning started in the best way possible.
But what truly made our stay special was the human touch. We would like to express our heartfelt appreciation to William and Judy, two incredible team members who went above and beyond for us.
William, whom we met every evening, was always professional, kind, and genuinely caring. He made sure everything was perfect for us and always checked that we were comfortable and happy. His positive attitude and attentiveness made every encounter a pleasure.
Judy, who greeted us every morning, was equally amazing warm, attentive, and full of energy. She personally ensured we had everything we needed and that our mornings started with a smile. Both William and Judy even shared their personal contact numbers with us, offering help at any time, which is rare and deeply appreciated.
It was touching to see how much they cared about our well-being and enjoyment. We always looked forward to seeing Judy in the mornings and William in the evenings they truly made us feel at home.
The hotel’s location is perfect central, convenient, and surrounded by the vibrant heart of Shanghai.
We will definitely return and recommend Radisson Blu Shanghai New World to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming stay.
Special thanks again to William and Judy you made our experience unforgettable.FromSGD 167

The front desk service was excellent! The location is superb, just across the street from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and very close to the Bund. This trip, I brought my family and booked three rooms, including a suite for my parents. The view from the suite's window was great, overlooking Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and even a glimpse of the 'three-piece suit' (referring to the iconic Lujiazui skyline)!

I booked the executive room but it wasn’t ready until 4:15 on the Saturday I arrived. They asked me to wait in a business lounge but there’s no food or drink there and no music. How about voucher for a snack or drink? The TV is really outdated and there’s no smart TV function. The lampshades were crooked and shabby room overall without any toothbrushes or anything no minibar. The breakfast area has a nice balcony but they don’t let you sit there and they put chairs blocking off places to sit too. The offerings were small but then after you get a plate of bread they show you the breakfast menu. They could put a sign in the hallway to guide guests to the breakfast area and inform guests how it works. The bedroom air conditioner was so noisy that it gave me a headache. There’s little posted information about the gym, pool, food and beverage or anything in the hotel. I used to do hotel management so wanted to point some of these things out. For a similar price better to try other options.FromSGD 184

This hotel's rooms are absolutely fantastic! As soon as I walked in, I was captivated by the exquisite decor – the dark wood furniture just screams luxury. The two large beds were soft and comfy, and the sofa area by the window was perfect for unwinding in the afternoon with a coffee; it was just so relaxing. Even the carpet design was stylish. Staying here felt both as cozy as home and as luxurious as a high-end hotel. Best of all, it's really close to Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street.

This place was okay, I would not book here again. It is definitely in a good spot right downstairs is Nanjing road so you have alot of shopping and food halls right outside your room.
Staff is super friendly and very helpful especially the cleaning staff. Made sure we got water atleast once a day and would ask us if we need new towels if they saw us.
Depending on where they put you, you may end up having to take a pretty far walk to your hotel room.
You’ll need to take an elevator up to the main lobby and depending on the room you will need to take another elevator up. But if you are on an floor higher then 6 be prepared to hike to your room most inconvenient part of the stay to be honest.
The room also has an AC, Heater option you can set which is very handy and a window that can open partially.
The room was overall nice and clean but the compliments stop there, as the room is way to dim especially the bathroom cant really see much in there and it is also very tiny you can barely move in there. You literally cannot close the door if you’re standing at the sink or sitting on the toilet.
The shower drain also has a bad smell like sewer pipes that come up when youre using the shower and it takes awhile for it to go away. The shower pressure was okay until my 3rd day there and when I showered the water pressure was non existent and limp even tho the water is being poured on my body the pressure was so low it didnt even feel like anything was hitting me. At one point the pressure dropped to 0 and it was trickling out the shower head. The next morning though it was back to normal so not sure what happened. The shower area also floods the bathrooms as we had 3 rooms and all rooms had some form of flooding post shower. And 1 was really bad. Which we complained about and they gave us another room.
They also had a laundry room with 3 small washers and 3 small dryers not ment for bulk washing, and also free detergent. The washer was good but the dryer… unless you are ready to hang dry your clothes do not wash your clothes here as we ran the clothes in the dryer for 2-3 hrs and the clothes were still damp. And when we asked the staff they told us the dryer only dries enough for it to stay damp and you will need to air dry the rest which is ridiculous. Why have a dryer when it doesn’t do what it’s meant to do? Make it make sense.
Overall besides location and friendly staff there is definitely better locations to choose from. I would not stay here again.FromSGD 125

The in-room facilities are comprehensive, including high-speed Wi-Fi and a smart control system, with every detail showcasing quality.

Especially the freshly made omelets and exquisite pastries made me look forward to breakfast every day. The lobby bar also has a great ambiance, perfect for afternoon tea or an evening drink.

The location is unbeatable. Food, drinks, and entertainment are right downstairs, and it's just out of Exit 3 of Jing'an Temple Metro Station. Luxury stores on Nanjing West Road are only a couple of stops away, and Yuyuan Road offers a quaint, old Shanghai vibe with its plane trees and charming old houses. The hotel itself is nestled between two streets, avoiding the crowds but still capturing the essence of old Shanghai. The residential building in front of it is even the apartment where Eileen Chang wrote 'Love in a Fallen City.' The service is excellent, from the doormen and front desk staff to the housekeeping aunties and restaurant chefs. The breakfast isn't extensive, but it has all the essentials, and it's all healthy food. If you prefer a Western breakfast, they offer more cheese and ham than most hotels. While the facilities are a bit older compared to newly built hotels, it's still highly recommended. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.FromSGD 189

The Grand Central Hotel Shanghai is located next to Nanjing road so it’s very central. The decoration of the hotel looks a bit outdated which lots of golden colors and palm trees in the lobby. Upon my arrival the concierge staff helped to take out my luggage from the car and as we were walking inside he wanted to store my luggage and telling me that check in was at 2pm. I arrived at 12pm. I told him I will go to the reception first and brought my luggage with me. The receptionist checked my booked and said the room isn’t ready and asked me to wait. As I was very tired I asked how long I need to wait and he said until 2pm. I asked if I could perhaps double check at 1 pm and he said ok. I checked again at 1pm and the room wasn’t ready. Finally I got the room at about 1:40. The room size was good and the maintenance of the room was ok although a bit worn out but the decoration looks very outdated and makes the room look more old. Moreover, they had some old brochures in the room which doesn’t really apply to today’s needs such as an old Shanghai yellow pages catalogue etc. Furthermore, there was two bottles of water in the room with tags and on the tag it was clearly stated that only two bottles of water is provided per day per room and additional water bottles will be charged at 10RMB per bottle. I think this makes the hotel seem stingy, supposedly stating that it’s a five star hotel. Haven’t encountered this at hotels with lower star ratings that I stayed at. Another issue was that the HBO channel on the TV didn’t work and that was the only foreign channel on the tv for movies so perhaps international travelers wouldn’t have much to watch. My stay was so so.. the most positive aspect being the central location.FromSGD 183

The front desk and room service staff were proactive and enthusiastic. Requests for extra water, children's toothbrushes, and shuttle service were responded to incredibly quickly, much faster than many other hotels I've stayed in, which I really appreciated. The Peacock Dynasty Chinese Restaurant was decent and reasonably priced. For one dinner, we ate at a local farm restaurant outside the hotel, and the shuttle picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel entrance. When we returned to our accommodation area at night, the security guard at the main gate主动 helped us call for a shuttle.

Folks, I simply *have* to rave about this hidden gem I stumbled upon! Just finished my stay, and I absolutely *have* to share this immersive experience! ✨
The moment I stepped into the hotel, I was utterly captivated by the tranquil courtyard views. Winding paths lead to secluded spots, a small pond shimmers, and lush greenery abounds 🌳. Wearing a Qipao here, every casual shot turns into a stunning photo 🎬. The architecture and nature blend seamlessly, truly like stepping into a Jiangnan garden-style paradise~
Inside, the delightful surprises continued 🎉. From the floral arrangements to the calligraphy and displays, an elegant ambiance permeates every corner 🍵. You can even experience scripture copying, calming your mind with ink and brush – a truly unique cultural charm that, if you know, you know! The garden view outside the window is breathtakingly beautiful, making your heart flutter. Sipping tea and enjoying the scenery, it's truly the epitome of slow living 🍃. The room features an extra-large bathtub perfect for a relaxing soak, and they even provide two different kinds of bath products. A floating breakfast is also available for those picture-perfect moments. Plus, the room is fully equipped with an air purifier and a humidifier.
The service was incredibly attentive 💗.

They have a designated private car that drops guests off at Disneyland resort line train station which is then a 5 min walk to Disneyland. To get picked up you WeChat them (with some notice) and boom the car will be there to pick you up. Unbelievable service and the staff were super nice to my rambunctious kids! The Onsen is not to be missed - actual spring waters from local Jiangsu area. I felt like I was back in japan (and I spend a LOT of my time there travelling 6-7 times every year there). If your child is over 90cm they cannot go in the opposite sex Onsen BUT my son was kindly escorted by staff and was taken through the experience alone without any problems (he can speak mandarin though which helps). There is a small playground for kids onsite but opposite the road at Bicester outlet shopping village is a HUGE playground mostly shaded which is perfect for kids and also has water play splash pads everywhere and tons of food options.

I've stayed at the Grand Hyatt Jin Mao multiple times, and I truly love this hotel in Lujiazui! Even though it's an older hotel that's been open for many years, the rooms are exceptionally well-maintained and preserved; you can't see any signs of aging! The room amenities are comprehensive, and both the bedding and toiletries are excellent. The bath products are Balmain, which are really good! This time, Ivy, the guest experience ambassador at Jin Mao, proactively contacted me before my check-in to ask about my preferences and even upgraded me to a Club River View room. I'm so grateful for her thoughtful and meticulous service! The room directly faces the Lujiazui Financial Center, and with the river view, you can clearly see the Oriental Pearl Tower. Both the night view and the daytime scenery are absolutely stunning! The Executive Lounge's afternoon tea starts at noon, and while the selection isn't huge, the evening Happy Hour is truly fantastic. The food is abundant and delicious, and it lasts a long time, from 5 PM to 8 PM! I absolutely adore the hotel's breakfast buffet. Although I missed it on my first day back in China due to jet lag, on the second day, I spent a full two hours savoring the lavish breakfast! The breakfast is divided into Chinese and Western sections. Personally, I think the Western section has a better view as it faces the river and the Oriental Pearl Tower directly, but both Chinese and Western dishes are incredibly plentiful and taste great. The breakfast on the 56th floor was so good that I didn't even bother to check out the breakfast at the Club Lounge! The hotel's location is superb; not only is it in the heart of Lujiazui, but the subway station is also right on the B1 level. It's also very convenient to take a taxi to various attractions and shopping malls in Puxi! A special thank you to the concierge department this time. My suitcase broke during my last stay at Jin Mao a week ago, forcing me to buy a new one at a mall on Nanjing Road. Since I was rushing to go abroad at the time, I had to leave my old suitcase with the concierge. I only picked it up again from the concierge a week later after returning from my trip abroad. I'm truly grateful to the concierge staff! Both this stay and my previous one, the hotel was fully booked, and almost all the guests were foreigners, with very few domestic tourists. Yet, even with such tight room availability, the hotel still reserved my preferred room type for me, which I truly appreciate! Overall, I highly recommend staying at Grand Hyatt Jin Mao! The location is super convenient, making it easy to get anywhere. The rooms are clean, tidy, and refreshing, and the beautiful views are incredibly therapeutic.

The Langham, Shanghai, Xintiandi · Exceptional Service from the 27th Floor Executive Team
My recent stay at The Langham, Shanghai, Xintiandi, was one of the most memorable trips I've had lately. As someone who's stayed in countless hotels, both domestically and internationally, for business and leisure, I truly understand that while 'hardware can be similar, service is what truly makes the difference.' The 27th-floor team at The Langham, especially Zoe, Judy, Ella, and Loretta, made me experience firsthand what 'true home-away-from-home' really means!
Always Smiling, Gentle Yet Firm Approachability
The moment I stepped out of the elevator, I was greeted by their constant smiles. That gentle yet firm approachability instantly put me at ease after a long journey. Unlike rigid or perfunctory politeness, their smiles were genuine and natural, as if they could melt away all the fatigue of travel. Even late at night or during busy morning hours, they maintained the same positive and gentle demeanor, showing no signs of tiredness.
Anticipating Guests' Needs Before They Even Ask
What impressed me most was their ability to accurately anticipate my needs before I even had to ask. Zoe meticulously introduced all the hotel facilities, current promotions, and dining times, and was always responsive and accommodating. Judy, despite being busy, specifically waited in my room to help me change my evening gown. That 'one step ahead' keen insight astonished me; it showed their incredible attention to and grasp of guest needs.
Professional Yet Warm
In the 27th-floor team, I witnessed true 'professionalism with warmth.' They were adept at all hotel procedures: whether it was booking, late check-out, or using facilities, they handled everything swiftly and efficiently. Yet, their communication was always gentle and respectful, never making you feel pressured. They knew when to offer help but never intruded on guests' private space. This 'just right' sense of proportion is precisely the most precious quality of a five-star hotel.
Team Synergy and Infectious Atmosphere
Top-notch service isn't just about individual efforts; it's a reflection of the entire 27th-floor team's seamless collaboration. No matter who I interacted with, they could quickly understand my needs and efficiently follow up. That team synergy conveyed the excellent standard of hotel management.
The True Meaning of Feeling at Home
Many people talk about 'feeling at home,' but it wasn't until I experienced Zoe, Judy, Ella, and Loretta's service on the 27th floor at The Langham that I truly understood the weight of those words. They didn't just fulfill their duties; they treated every guest as a friend worth caring for. Whether for work or travel, I would wholeheartedly choose The Langham again and again, because it's not just a place to rest, but a home where my mind can relax and feel warmly enveloped.
This stay at The Langham, Shanghai, Xintiandi, gave me a profound understanding of the true essence of 'top-tier hotel service.' My sincere thanks to all the ladies on the 27th-floor team. Through their smiles, attention to detail, professionalism, and warmth, they created an unforgettable journey for me. No matter where I am in the future, whenever I recall this experience, I will remember the sense of comfort and warmth they brought me. If hardware is the foundation of a hotel, then these genuine and passionate service staff are the true soul of The Langham. Thank you for helping me find a long-lost sense of belonging in my busy life.FromSGD 266

The Art Deco architectural aesthetic immediately enveloped me, its dark green copper roof shimmering in the sunlight, while inside, the octagonal stained-glass ceiling and antique bronze chandeliers in the lobby complemented each other beautifully. Every detail exuded an 'old money' elegance, refined by time, instantly soothing away the fatigue of my journey.
The meticulousness of the service throughout my stay was truly impressive. From the patient guidance during check-in to the impeccable housekeeping service, the staff consistently maintained a polite and discreet demeanor, never intrusive, yet always promptly responsive when needed, truly making guests feel at home. The guest rooms skillfully blended vintage charm with modern amenities, offering contemporary comforts while retaining the exquisite allure of old Shanghai. Opening the window, I could feel the vibrant pulse of the Bund, and at night, drifting off to sleep with the city's tranquility felt exceptionally peaceful.
Breakfast each morning was another delightful highlight. The abundant spread catered to both Western and Chinese palates, featuring fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. Dining in the restaurant to soft background music truly set a wonderful tone for the day. During my leisure time, I indulged in the hotel's spa, where professional techniques thoroughly soothed my body and mind. The gym was well-equipped and immaculately maintained, making it easy to maintain my fitness routine even while traveling.
Staying here wasn't merely about booking a room; it was an immersive journey into history and luxury. As I looked back at the iconic building upon departure, I felt a genuine reluctance to leave. With its century-long heritage and genuinely thoughtful service, the Peace Hotel truly exemplifies what an 'unforgettable stay' means.FromSGD 457

The front desk staff were cold and robotic, and their work attitude was lax, which immediately made me lose interest in this five-star hotel. There were no welcome fruits, no smart toilet, no personalized service at all, and I didn't feel valued or welcomed as a guest. There were no small soaps for guests who don't like shower gel, and all the toiletries were large, fixed bottles – are they trying to prevent guests from taking them? If you want to stay in the hotel and just have a simple meal, the executive lounge offers hardly any food. This really doesn't justify my executive room rate; it's not good value for money. The breakfast environment was decent, but it was crowded, and the food wasn't particularly impressive. The sink drained slowly, and the maintenance worker initially claimed it was normal, but after actual repairs, it improved significantly. Although the hotel is old, the overall cleanliness is excellent, it's quiet, the high-floor views are great, and it's convenient for getting around with many places to explore for a city walk nearby.FromSGD 144

The Bund Area Shanghai|2.48km from downtown
Staying at the Hyatt on the Bund was the smartest decision we made during our trip to Shanghai! The hotel is right next to the Bund, just a few minutes' walk to the observation deck. The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in our room were a true gem – by day, you could watch cargo ships traversing the Huangpu River with the Lujiazui 'three-piece suit' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers) clearly visible; by night, the Bund's historic buildings lit up, creating a breathtaking river view that was impossible to tear your eyes away from.
The breakfast was another delightful surprise. The buffet at Aroma, located on the 2nd floor, offered such a rich variety that it was hard to choose: freshly made omelets, delicious sushi, soft pastries, fresh fruits, and a wide array of beverages – it catered to every taste.
What truly stood out was the heartwarming service, especially from Lorna and Anna, who deserve special recognition! When Lorna learned we wanted a higher-floor room, she quickly arranged it despite the hotel being almost fully booked. She not only prepared our room in advance but also answered all our questions efficiently and promptly. From the views to the dining and the service, everything was impeccable. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Shanghai!FromSGD 231

Checked in on a Saturday, so there were quite a few guests. Had to wait a bit but check-in was surprisingly fast. Lots of foreigners around.
Booked through Trip.com and got a complimentary happy hour from 6 PM to 7:30 PM. Free-flow drinks with some cashews and mini cakes – not a huge variety, but the taste was decent.
The hallways are a bit narrow and had a damp smell. Entering the room, you're greeted by a fully open-plan cave-style bathroom with a glowing bathtub – quite a sight!
Hangers and slippers were in the cabinet next to the bed.
No vanity table. The hairdryer wasn't a Dyson, and there was no speaker.
There's an iPad to control the smart home features, an 'old iPad given a new lease on life' kind of deal. It was a bit slow to respond and had some translation issues (e.g., 'reading right' instead of 'right reading light').
There's a red light above the bed. If some hotels are overtly flamboyant, this one is subtly so.
The room had a large round table, which was a bit amusing.
The gym and pool are both on B1 and are relatively small. The cardio area is quite spacious. For beginners, the weightlifting equipment isn't very friendly, and there aren't many fixed machines.
Breakfast is served until 11 AM and is very Shanghai-style: pan-fried dumplings, curry beef vermicelli, soup dumplings, congee, rice balls, etc. Everything you could want. The quality and taste are both excellent.
Overall, it's pretty good. The Xintiandi area nearby is also great for strolling. It would be even better if they could upgrade the weightlifting equipment in the gym.FromSGD 269

For my birthday🎂 this year, I chose to stay at J Hotel Shanghai Tower🏨. Firstly, it's the highest hotel in the world, and secondly, I've already checked off two of Shanghai's 'Three Sisters' hotels – Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt Jin Mao – so this time I absolutely had to experience the tallest one🏨.
A day before check-in, the butler called☎️ to discuss my room preferences. Knowing it was for a birthday, the hotel arranged a small birthday cake🎂, a card, and some fruit🫐🍇 in my room, which was very much appreciated😊.
The room itself is quite spacious, but the view felt a bit ordinary. There's a noticeable distance between the room and the outer glass, and due to the double-layered glass, the city lights at night appeared rather dim. For sunrise🌅 and sunset🌄 views, you can head to the Tian Zhi Jin restaurant on the 120th floor, where the view is much better👍.
The bathroom features a double vanity, and there's a TV📺 above the bathtub🛁 so you can watch while soaking. The shower room has a long bench design, suitable for elderly guests🧼. All the toiletries are Diptyque, which I really like, and the hairdryer is a Xiaomi. The walk-in closet is also spacious enough. In the mini-bar, everything except the liquor🍾, chocolates🍫, and snacks is complimentary, and you can even take home anything you don't finish! There's also a capsule coffee machine with three different coffee☕️ flavors to choose from, and a wide variety of tea bags.
The turndown service was excellent; a bathmat and slippers were placed by the bed, and two bottles of water were left on each side of the headboard. Each room comes with a mini iPad to control services, lighting, and curtains. I particularly loved the square room key card and asked to keep it as a souvenir when checking out✌🏻.
Breakfast is served on the 101st floor🍽️. I found a window seat and enjoyed a leisurely meal. It's a semi-buffet style; you can order from the menu or help yourself from the buffet. The selection is very rich, and the freshly squeezed juice bottles are beautiful😻. Both Chinese and Western breakfast options are generally well-covered😌.
After check-out, in-house guests can report their license plate and room number at the concierge desk on the first floor for free parking🅿️.FromSGD 547

I stayed here for one night. I came here after leaving another hotel that wasn't good. I'm so glad that I came here instead. I really got such a good night's sleep. One of the hotel staff, Ekko, was extra helpful in answering my questions in English, allowing me to stay longer in the lobby while I waited for my friend and even offered me a bottle of water. He was very welcoming! The the bed is so comfortable and soft and the hotel is very clean. And the breakfast is also delicious. You also have a vending machine on the first floor that takes digital payment and a mini refrigerator in your room. There's also a smart TV with HDMI and screen mirroring. It's great value for money and it's also just a really comfortable place to stay. The interior design is really beautiful and eclectic. I think you'll have fun just hanging out in the lobby, good music playing, for a couple hours doing some work at one of the many sitting areas in the lobby, if you're a digital nomad like me. Really nice vibe!FromSGD 49
