The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|0.5km from Shanghai Ocean Aquarium
 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!

Regent Shanghai on the Bund

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.01km from Shanghai Ocean Aquarium
By chance, we checked into Jinlin, an excellent Chinese restaurant in Shanghai Seagull Regent Hotel. After the meal, the front desk girl Quincy warmly received us and showed us the guest rooms. The children immediately fell in love with Seagull Regency’s river view room at a glance. The invincible river view is truly unparalleled. You can have a panoramic view of both sides of Huangpu River and Suzhou River. The overall service of the hotel is very good, full of details and treasures. Room: The location is excellent, occupying C position on the Bund. You can enjoy the river view from the room, and quietly watch the boats going by on the river. It is super enjoyable~ The amenities in the room are first-class, and the bubble bath is the highlight. The hotel thoughtfully prepared facial masks, makeup remover towels, cleansing towels, etc. for us. Everywhere is full of warm details. The hotel's welcome gift and children's gifts are all very online and tasteful. Swimming pool gym: Swimming coach Jackie made Hanghang's swimming skills improve by leaps and bounds. The children liked it very much. We are also very grateful to Coach Annie for taking us to experience hot springs and steaming. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the fitness equipment is an immersive real-life experience, which is very high-end. breakfast: Breakfast is a la carte, with rich dishes, focusing on authentic and very pure Western food! Executive chef Luke will also dig out the hidden menu and serve some special dishes, which the children like very much. Jinlin Chinese Restaurant: The first time I tasted it, I was impressed by the taste. I was really satisfied. Especially the barbecued pork and crispy squab, it was an unforgettable bite. After asking the chef, I found out that it was Chef Ding from Hong Kong. The food is really amazing. The service in the Chinese restaurant is also very good. It is unique for a restaurant with such scenery and food on the Bund. . Serve: In general, this is one of the few hotels in Shanghai with such online services. The location is absolutely unique. It will be my first choice when coming to Shanghai in the future. Shanghai Seagull Regent has become our other home in Shanghai. Everyone who likes Seagull Regent family~

上海東方明珠230空中酒店

Lujiazui Area
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
Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai
4.6/55524 Reviews
Lujiazui Area
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.

Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai

Lujiazui Area
Everything about this hotel is luxurious. From the moment you arrive, your bags are taken and later brought up to your room. The room has amazing views of the city and it located close to shops and public transportation. The only issue we had was the room was too hot, and the air conditioning wasn’t working properly. One quick call to the front desk was able to fix that and the air conditioning was restored. Other than that, we had a fantastic stay at the Shangri-La
