Grand Hyatt Shanghai

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.34km from Water Front Platform
This was our first time staying here as a guest. We were lucky that we got upgraded to Club Deluxe River room, which is bigger and better. I love their massive bathroom, very clean. The staffs were friendly and approachable too. I love the view from our room, especially at night. The breakfast buffet has 2 options, western and chinese cuisine. We tried both and it tastes good, good view as well. Everything was great, and we plan to come back again.

Park Hyatt Shanghai

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.44km from Water Front Platform
The hotel has a nice entrance the concierge are really respectful and are willing to answer any questions in Chinese and in English. The reception area is beautiful you can see the Shanghai skyscrapers and the bund view from there. I was a little disappointed by the offer at reception. It was my birthday weekend and they couldn’t get even offer me complimentary breakfast this was shocking for such a high quality hotel. Furthermore, the check in process was below average: 1. There was no welcome drinks not even a bottle of water. 2. I had to later ask for a toothpaste they should have offered me. 3. They did not know even take me to my room I had to drag my suitcases by myself. When you pay over 2300 RMB you are paying for the hotel to pay attention to detail and thus expect more. The room was really comfortable however, the shower had some mould and was also difficult to realise how to use it. Breakfast was okay they have a wide selection of food. However the service was shocking I sat there waiting for 20 mins after I had order my tea before someone came over to help me order eggs. The manager later apologised but for a place with high standards and on my birthday this disappointing.

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.47km from Water Front Platform
Everything is incredible except for the mobile network coverage but you can use their Wi-Fi instead. If you’re in for making your own meals rather than eating out every night, you must come to the place as they have everything you need, from oven to stove to dishwasher to all sort of kitchen utensils. Also, I loved the bathtub. Clean and spacious. Period. Very convenient too. Just a few steps away from the Lujziachui station, the new town of Pudong. About 20 minutes by foot to the Bund or just take a cab. DiDi is fairly reasonable.

The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.52km from Water Front Platform
 When it’s time for me to take a well-deserved break from the stressors of my life, I head to the Ritz Carlton Shanghai IFC. I experienced the 49th floor Club level. I will definitely return. My room had my preferred view of the Oriental Pearl (TV) Tower.  I’m originally from the Mississippi Gulf Coast, so watching the barges on the river brings me peace. And when it’s time for the nightly light show at 7 PM sharp, my inner child is giddy every time. It’s the little touches that means so much, the beautiful fruit and flowers next to the macaroons upon arrival to my art deco chic hideaway makes an old Girl feel special. In-room dining is so amazing with their delicious offerings of comfort food like perfect mashed potatoes or spaghetti. Each Gentleman and Lady provided polite service with warmth! Thank you! Breakfast was wonderful at the Club! Fabulous Manager in the making, Beyond, greeted me with a welcome smile and relaxed demeanor that made me feel very valued! He chatted and checked on me as I leisurely made my way through both Chinese and Western breakfast items: I had the most tasty bowl of dumplings (perfect broth), an incredible serving of Chinese spinach (or was it something else) it was deliciously tender and tangy topped with Asian pickles-that is how I eat greens in the US: homesickness alleviated. Get your Western style breakfast happiness: eggs - made to order, fresh, squeezed orange juice, toast, sausages, and exceptional baby potatoes. I will return to the Club level so that I can try them more offerings and thank the Ladies that graciously kept the black coffee, fresh, squeezed orange juice and club soda coming. Because my room was on the same floor as the breakfast club my walk back to my fluffy bed and a glorious nap was not a long one. As a successful insomniac I can happily say that while I am at the Ritz Carlton IFC, I am unsuccessful. I always get the best sleep while I am visiting. I will be returning to The Ritz for more warm elegance soon!

Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.52km from Water Front Platform
The hotel's proximity to the TV tower is definitely one of its standout features. It made for an excellent focal point for exploring the city, and the surrounding area was vibrant and bustling with activity. The facilities were generally quite good. The room itself was spacious and well-appointed, providing a comfortable environment to unwind after a day of sightseeing. However, I did encounter a minor inconvenience during check-in. The process took longer than expected, which was a bit frustrating after a long journey. The staff, despite the extended check-in time, were courteous and professional. They were attentive to my needs throughout my stay and were quick to address any concerns or queries I had.

Really enjoyed the stay! Impeccable service upon arrival - from the concierge, check in was very smooth and butler was very helpful in assisting with our dinner reservation. The hotel tour is a must! Ms Wang, tour guide, takes her time to introduce and explain the details of the architecture from Ground Floor to 120F. We had to check our early morning (5:30am) and they packed our breakfast for us to bring to the airport. They also provided a small gift which is a nice gesture. Thank you for an enjoyable stay!

Regent Shanghai Pudong

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.6km from Water Front Platform
Hotel not up to par for a IHG hotel. Service of a 2-3* hotel, hotel staff are unhelpful and rude. Most of the spa facilities don’t work / they don’t bother fixing Hotel breakfast is definitely not up to 5* standard, the omelette had no taste Hotel room is better than expected The pool is good as the pictures but they really need to fix the water jets or else what’s the point of having the facilities I wouldn’t come back Will add that they did provide compensation in form of bfast in the end, but still lacking.

The VIP treatment of the hotel VIP car passageway first gives a kind of enjoyment above tens of thousands of people, haha! The hotel landscape is absolutely OK, the butler service is also very in place, the facilities are also relatively complete, and the entertainment function is very rich. The fly in the ointment is that the decoration is not exquisite enough, and some health details have yet to be improved. Overall satisfaction, it is an unforgettable experience

Breakfast has great varieties of selection’s that make you lost for choices. Wonderful view of the Shanghai Bund from the room. Depending on the objective of you trip, it’s a good hotel for business trips as within the financial hub. Limited selection for shopping, however close to place of interest such as Disney Park, Aquarium etc. With WIFI connectivity improvement for room usage would be greatly appreciated.

Top Glory Ocean One GORIOLE, Shanghai

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.79km from Water Front Platform
Good location, quiet in the middle of noisy. The room is very hygienic. The facilities are a bit old and the TV remote control in the living room can hardly be used. Service is uneven: room service is very good, warm and thoughtful, will take the initiative to take off shoes in and out. The front desk is quite satisfactory, and the professionalism needs to be improved. The high floors and extra bed notes in the order are directly ignored. The extra bed should include a breakfast fee for one person, but the next day was added... lowered the overall impression score.

Banyan Tree Shanghai On The Bund

The North Bund Area Shanghai|1.29km from Water Front Platform
Room is huge, a window side sofa couch and a huge round bathtub overlooking the river. Though it is a non-smoking room, we can smell very strong cigarettes smell along the corridor and the noise cancellation between your room and the corridor walkway is not very good. If you are looking for a hotel near the prime location of the Bund, this might not be the best choice because it is located a distance away. But overall, it is still a comfortable stay with Banyan Tree.

Hotel Indigo Shanghai on The Bund

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.44km from Water Front Platform
We used to always love staying at the Indigo, but haven’t stayed since covid… We were disappointed as the hotel is starting to look a little tired, things need replacing, breakfast had much less choice than previously available. None the less we booked into the Micheline Char Restaurant for New Years Eve dinner with friends looking forward to a great meal and drinks to celebrate the Year … (the food was great) however at 9:30 we were told we had to leave by 10pm after such an expensive meal and wine it seems ridiculous on any night let alone New Years Eve.. The swimming pool was closed and it wasn’t mentioned until we turned up in our swimsuits to have a swim. It didn’t ruin the stay but I don’t think we’ll be rushing back..
Wanda Reign Hotel

Wanda Reign Hotel

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.47km from Water Front Platform
Overall a lovely experience, very luxurious. The check-in process was particularly notable—it didn’t feel like many hotels where you stand at a counter to check in, instead your luggage is taken to a counter and you’re seated in armchair while the concierge checked you in. A nice touch! The rooms are extremely spacious, with even the fairly basic room I booked having a seating and dining area. Everything in the room (curtains, lights, AC) is controlled via an iPad, which also felt very nice. The bed was comfy, view of the Bund was stunning both at night and during the day, and the bed was comfy. The added amenities like a Nespresso machine, selection of Chinese teas, and bath salts for the huge circular bathtub were all greatly appreciated. The breakfast had a good variety of Chinese (especially Shanghainese) and western options, mostly on-par with other 5-star hotels in China. Not bad but nothing to make it stand out. My complaints are few, but worth mentioning: 1.) the AC in the room just wasn’t that effective. Even though the weather is cooling down in Shanghai, the room seemed stuffy. I cranked it all the way down to 15 C but still woke up too warm. 2.) I left my room in the evening briefly to grab some takeaway I had ordered and when I returned there was a staff member in my room!! He was placing a plate of fruit on the table (which id lovely and not the reason I’m complaining). I was quite startled and said “hello” in Chinese and looked a bit shocked but he didn’t say a word or apologize and just ran out while staring at me. Perhaps he only speaks Chinese, saw I was a foreigner and thought I couldn’t speak Chinese…not sure. It was definitely a strange encounter.

Very very satisfied with the room! Taking my mother on a trip, the old man came to Shanghai for the first time. Originally, he planned to go on a night cruise. The old man stood by the bed and looked directly at it and was satisfied. There is no need to go for a night cruise! You can enjoy the beauty of the Oriental Pearl Tower while lying on the bed. The view is really amazing. There is also a bar, table and chairs, ironing machine in the room~~

More about Shanghai

Shanghai: Where East Meets West

Shanghai, located on China's central coast, is the country's most populous city and one of the most vital financial hubs in the world. Shanghai's skyline, punctuated by the iconic Oriental Pearl Tower and the towering Shanghai Tower, paints a vivid picture of the city's impressive blend of traditional charm and modern flair.

Journeying to Shanghai

Shanghai's main international airport, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, offers numerous connections globally. Once there, you can reach downtown Shanghai using the Shanghai Maglev Train, buses, or taxis. For domestic travelers, high-speed trains offer an efficient means of travel.

The main mode of payment in China is usually through AliPay or WeChat Pay. Most places still accept credit and debit cards, but it's wise to carry some local currency (RMB) for smaller vendors. Mandarin is the official language, with Shanghainese also widely spoken. A translation app may come in handy when interacting with locals.

Attractions That Shine in Shanghai

Shanghai is brimming with must-see sights. Walk along the Bund to see colonial-era buildings against the backdrop of a modern skyline. Visit the tranquil Yuyuan Garden, an exquisite example of Ming Dynasty design. The Shanghai Museum hosts an extensive collection of Chinese historical artifacts, and the Shanghai Disney Resort promises fun for the entire family.

Shanghai's Seasons and Apparel

Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate. Summers (June-August) are hot and humid, while winters (December-February) can be quite cold. The best times to visit are autumn (September-November) and spring (March-May), when the weather is moderate. Pack a mix of lightweight and warm clothing to adjust to fluctuating temperatures in Shanghai.

Choosing Your Accommodation in Shanghai

Shanghai offers a wide variety of accommodations to meet diverse traveler needs. The Peninsula Shanghai, near the Bund, offers luxury and proximity to iconic sights. For foodies, The Puli Hotel and Spa is near numerous eateries in the Jing'an District. The budget-friendly Mingtown Etour Youth Hostel near People's Square offers comfort without the hefty price tag. For those seeking Instagram-worthy spots, the Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai with its stunning views won't disappoint.
