Dress Code for Shanghai Bar & Club

Shanghai Bar & Club Dress Code

Dress codes vary by venue, but these guidelines simplify packing.

Upscale Clubs & Rooftops (MASTER, AKOMA, KEV)

Smart casual is required—think button-down shirts, dresses, tailored pants, and leather shoes. Avoid sportswear, flip-flops, sneakers (unless designer), hoodies, or casual tees, as rules are stricter on weekends, especially for VIP areas.

Speakeasies & Intimate Bars (Speak Low, Sober Company)

Neat casual or smart casual works—jeans with a blouse, polo shirts, or loafers. There are no strict bans, but avoid messy attire (dirty sneakers, wrinkled loungewear) to fit the ambiance.

Themed & Industrial Bars (THE BUNKER, NICE)

Casual-chic is fine—dark jeans, graphic tees, boots, or jackets. Restrictions are minimal; just skip swimwear or sleepwear, and embrace edgier styles for industrial-themed spots.

Retro & Jazz Bars (Peace Hotel Jazz Bar)

Classic smart casual aligns with the old-world glamour—dresses, men’s suits, or vintage-inspired outfits. Avoid shorts or flip-flops to match the timeless vibe.

Is Shanghai Safe to Go Out at Night?

Yes, Shanghai is generally very safe for nighttime outings—even for foreigners traveling alone.

  • Most nightlife hubs (The Bund, Xintiandi, Jing’an) are well-lit, crowded, and patrolled by security or police.
  • Street crime is rare, and public transport (subways, taxis, ride-hailing apps like Didi) runs late (subways until ~11:30 PM, taxis 24/7) for easy travel back to accommodations.
  • Locals and staff are usually helpful if you need directions or assistance—English is widely spoken in tourist/nightlife areas.
  • Tip: Stick to busy, well-known areas (avoid isolated back alleys) and keep valuables secure, as you would in any major city.

Booked this room for a client. The hotel staff contacted me in advance to help coordinate the room arrangements, which was great. The hotel boasts an excellent location on Nanjing Road, close to the subway station, making transportation very convenient. The service staff were warm and professional. Overall, the value for money is really good. Thanks to 066 for arranging the room, it was good!

Booked this hotel for a business trip and was genuinely surprised in a good way. Daisy provided warm and attentive service, and check-in was a breeze. The desk had plenty of power outlets, and the lighting was soft and comfortable, so my eyes didn't get tired even after working on the computer for a long time. There are many shopping malls nearby, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. I'll definitely choose this place again next time I'm in town.

I stayed at the Garden Hotel again during the May Golden Week holiday to watch the Longines Global Champions Tour in Shanghai. My first stay at the Garden Hotel was 30 years ago. The marble in the lobby, the Rose restaurant, and the small mosaic tiles in the corridors still maintain their grand and elegant style. That's why I always come back to this familiar place whenever I return to China. It was a family member's birthday on the day we checked in, and the hotel gave us a box of rich chocolates. I was truly touched by the hotel's thoughtfulness, it made us very happy! **Facilities**: The TOTO toilet at the Garden Hotel is my favorite because of its washlet function, making going to the restroom so comfortable! The depth and length of the bathtub are also perfect for me. The slippers are very thick and durable; I always feel reluctant to throw them away when checking out. I even take the used slippers with me to wear on planes or high-speed trains. **Hygiene**: The hygiene details are impeccable. The towels are soft and comfortable, with dense loops, making them very reassuring to use on the skin. **Environment**: The hotel has its own garden, where you can enjoy a rare tranquility in the city of Shanghai during a morning stroll! Just one traffic light to the left of the hotel entrance, there are many small bars and restaurants! There are even two Michelin-starred restaurants! It's definitely worth a walk and exploring. **Service**: I bought many things online, and they were delivered to the hotel in batches. The concierge meticulously recorded everything and delivered them to our room! When we left, the concierge helped put our luggage in the car trunk, opened and closed the doors, and politely bid us farewell. **Welcome Package**: We received canned drinks and snacks, which was a nice surprise!

I chose this Pullman for my business trip to Shanghai for a conference. The location was very convenient, making my commute to and from the venue smooth. The room was meticulously cleaned; there was no dust in the bathroom or in the corners around the bed. The mattress was just right, neither too soft nor too firm. The desk in the room had enough space, perfect for organizing my conference materials after meetings. The front desk staff handled check-in efficiently and thoughtfully. The hotel itself was quiet, and the soundproofing was excellent, allowing me to get a peaceful night's rest after a busy day. Overall, the experience exceeded my expectations, and I'll definitely consider staying here again for future conferences.

Fantastic! Even though there is a change in management, there has been no decline in service. Lilly Li was superb at check-in; she was thorough and fast, allowing me to get to my room and sleep ASAP after 27 hours of travelling! It was also great to note that my preferences were remembered - even despite the management change. Breakfast was charming as the chef brought the spirit of Chinese New Year to our plates with creative steamed buns and expanded Chinese fare.

Huatian Hotel & Resort Bund Yu Garden is an elegant sanctuary hidden in the bustling city. The overall decor is exquisitely refined, with a strong New Chinese aesthetic that creates a gentle and romantic atmosphere. It offers a tranquil escape amidst the urban buzz, making a stay here feel like stepping into a healing paradise. Both the ambiance and style are top-notch. The check-in experience far exceeded my expectations. The front desk kindly offered a complimentary room upgrade to one with a 270° panoramic view. Opening the window reveals breathtaking views of the Bund and its surroundings, equally stunning by day and night. The unobstructed vistas are perfect for photos, making every shot picture-perfect. The scenic experience is truly flawless. The hotel service is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. The staff were gentle and meticulous throughout my stay, making me feel right at home. Upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised with fresh fruit and champagne, showcasing their attention to detail and creating a warm and delightful experience. The service quality is impeccable. The breakfast was also outstanding, with a rich and varied selection of both Chinese and Western dishes. The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were spot on—refined and delicious, setting a great tone for the day. My entire stay was flawless, elegant, romantic, and comfortable. This is a highly recommended hotel for anyone staying near the Bund!

I’m so glad I chose the Mehood Elegant Hotel. It was the perfect location — close to everything, not too crowded, yet not too remote either. I traveled solo with my 14-month-old toddler, and he was absolutely spoiled by all the hotel staff. Everyone treated us with so much kindness and care. Jerry checked us in and out and even gave me a cute fridge magnet. The breakfast was delicious with so many options to choose from, the rooms were cleaned daily, and bottled water was always replenished. Xiao Jun also took great care of us, and Yinhe Juan felt like an auntie to us. We looked forward to seeing them every morning at breakfast. They all made my stay feel so warm and welcoming — truly like a home away from home. I’m incredibly grateful for their hospitality, and if I ever find myself back in Shanghai again, I’ll definitely be booking Mehood. PS: the view from my room was incredible!

As a five-star hotel, both the service and facilities are quite good. I've always heard that Westin's family rooms are great, and I got to experience one on this trip to Shanghai. I won't go into detail about the good aspects, but I do have a few suggestions: 1. For a family room, there actually aren't many kids' amenities, just a few stuffed animals. For example, a step stool could be provided in the bathroom for children. 2. The sink in the bathroom constantly accumulates water on the inner side. I'm not sure if it's due to the countertop's angle or something else, but I hope it can be adjusted. 3. The toilet paper holder in the WC is too far inward, making it inconvenient to grab paper. If you pull hard, the roll might fall off. Moving the holder forward, reversing its direction, or moving it to the right side would all be good solutions. Overall, I hope Westin continues to improve as a high-end hotel. I look forward to experiencing it again next time!

We stayed here for 3 nights while in Shanghai and enjoyed our time there. The location is excellent ( walk right out onto Nanjing Pedestrian street) The staff is welcoming and friendly. The hotel is clean and the room was spacious! Check in was a breeze. We opted for the family room and it had a separate living area and bedroom. It was super nice. We had a view of Nanjing Rd and heard zero noise from the bustling road below us. They provided complimentary tea and coffee in the room along with a mini fridge filled with various items ( drinks, beer, water and chocolates) They provided a safe, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, slippers and robes. It was my sons birthday they day we arrived and they sent a cake to our room:) I had mentioned that in the booking along with a request for a view. Both were obliged :) The breakfast was excellent with a ton of options ( both American and Asian cuisine) There is plenty of seating and great views! The concierge was fantastic! They arranged a riverboat cruise for us and an amazing massage for my mom and I. The spa was great and we had the most relaxing massage. The spa staff was fantastic and so friendly. They even took us in very last minute without issue. Though it is separate from the hotel- they gave a fantastic discount for being a guest there. Our stay was a 10/10 and I would stay here again!!

It's near to train station, hotel was grand, check in was smooth. Informed the hotel it's for our anniversary and they told us a complimentary cake will be given to us on the check in night but perhaps they forgot, nevertheless they gave a complimentary birthday slice of cake several days later. The shower and toilet bowl pressure were low, informed the front desk and they fixed it the same day and was great after that. Overall a good experience, but not an exceptional one.

The room at Pudong Shangri-La was impressively large and very comfortable, making the stay relaxing and pleasant. Visiting during the festive season was a bonus, as the hotel was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations that added a warm and cheerful atmosphere. The complimentary Chinese dinner at the Osmanthus restaurant was a delightful surprise — the food was delicious and the portions were just right. Breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options catering to different tastes. However, I was quite disappointed by an incident related to hygiene. I witnessed a pastry server dropping a croissant on the floor and then placing it back onto the tray. This was unacceptable for a hotel of this standard. I sincerely hope the hotel will place greater emphasis on food hygiene training for their F&B staff, as everything else about the stay was otherwise excellent.

Great location, view, breakfast and gym. The room is well heated and clean, staff is friendly and hotel very luxurious. I think it’s one of the best hotels you can book for your business trip or vacation in Shanghai. Metro is also closed and there’s a fancy ifc shopping mall that can be reached in 5 min walk. Lovely

I would like to sincerely commend Jude from the concierge team at Waldorf Astoria for his exceptional service. Despite it being 12am, Jude was incredibly helpful and proactive in assisting me with a parcel that was mistakenly sent to the wrong address. His willingness to help at such a late hour, coupled with his calm and professional attitude, truly reflects the high standards of service associated with Waldorf Astoria. Please extend my heartfelt thanks to Jude — his dedication did not go unnoticed and made a stressful situation much easier to manage. 我想特别表扬 Waldorf Astoria 礼宾部的 Jude。 尽管已是凌晨12点,他仍非常耐心并主动协助我处理寄错地址的包裹,服务专业又贴心。这样的敬业精神让我深受感动,也充分体现了贵酒店一贯的高水准服务。 The other team members in the concierge department also did a helpful job with our baggage. It’s just unfortunate that I can’t have my Meituan food delivery sent by the hotel staff directly to my room. This was inconvenient but I understand the food and hygiene aspects that they uphold. Generally, a pleasant stay with best location. The bund view is just too awesome!

Very comfortable and family friendly hotel.  I love quiet and small luxury hotel where my family can have a comfortable holiday. Our children had great time swimming there. There are 3 safety guards watching us. Staff overall are friendly and nice to children. Their Latte coffee at the cafe and restaurants were beautiful.

I stayed here for my HYROX weekend in Shanghai and this hotel made the whole trip feel luxurious and effortless. The room was beautiful, the view was stunning, and the service was exceptional. Everything felt clean, elegant, and comfortable. The location is perfect, the breakfast was amazing, and I loved how peaceful the hotel felt. After my race, the spa, pool, and big cozy bed were exactly what I needed. Truly a luxury experience , I’d definitely stay here again. 🌟✨

The Puli Hotel Shanghai offers a seamless blend of understated luxury and thoughtful service, perfectly situated near major shopping malls and key city attractions. From the moment we arrived, the staff were attentive and efficient, promptly assisting us with our luggage. As our room was not yet ready upon arrival, we took the opportunity to explore the surrounding area. When we returned about an hour later, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our luggage had already been delivered to our room, an excellent example of the hotel’s proactive and considerate service. The room itself was impressively spacious, providing a calm and elegant retreat from the city. The minibar was exceptionally well-appointed, featuring both sparkling and still water, juices, sodas, tea and coffee, beer, as well as fresh fruits, chocolates, and nuts, all replenished daily. The bathroom was equally well thought out, complete with high-quality amenities that added to the overall comfort of the stay. Overall, The Puli Hotel Shanghai delivers a refined hospitality experience marked by attention to detail, comfort, and an ideal location, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and city exploration.

I had a good 4 nights' stay at the Pagoda Wujiaochang. Checkin / checkout was a breeze. The room is impressive - clean and comfortable with anything one may need in a hotel. The bed is soft and comfortable which is essential especially for a business traveller. Takeaway deliveries are sent up to the room by robots. And the location near the stretch of restaurants along Daxue Road and the train metro access nearby is also a plus. Overall, very good experience. Thanks. KK

Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center Shanghai|12.35km from city center
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!

Citadines Gubei Apartment Hotel is a great place to stay in Shanghai. Convenient location, there are all the necessary shops nearby. The hotel itself is very comfortable, polite staff who always helps. We stayed with the children in a two-storey room and it was just a delight, we were very comfortable. Very comfortable beds. The room has a kitchen area, which was very convenient for us, we even used a washing machine. We liked the breakfast, the choice is very large. We will definitely return to the Citadines Gubei Apartment Hotel the next time we are in Shanghai.
