Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai

My first stay at the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai—still such a fresh and exciting experience! I booked a standard room (not a suite), but the view from the window was absolutely stunning. The staff were all incredibly friendly, warm, and thoughtful. When I checked in, I mentioned—half-jokingly—that I still remembered the delightful welcome sweets from Bulgari Beijing. Though theirs were different, they were equally delicious! They even packed me a raspberry cake to go—the cream tasted just like the kind I remember from childhood… a total, heartwarming surprise. Breakfast can be delivered to your room, but the top-floor restaurant offers far better views, so I headed up there instead. The spinach-and-chive large wontons were fragrant, generously sized, and satisfyingly substantial (rarely do you get to describe Shanghai food as 'substantial'—lol 😂). The hotel bar stays open until 1 a.m., and since it was Halloween, I’m so glad I asked Concierge in advance to reserve us a spot. The minibar soft drinks (non-alcoholic) were also excellent. Overall, this hotel is *perfect* for travelers with tight schedules who still want a luxurious, polished experience. Bonus touches: The luggage tag was custom-engraved with my initials—so thoughtful—and in my favorite color. And yes, the mini-fridge’s soft drinks (alcohol excluded) are fantastic. Highly recommend grabbing a seat at the top-floor bar for a relaxed drink.

Very satisfied with the room. It was comfortable, clean, and the service was exceptional. The views are breathtaking. A special thanks to Joana at the concierge desk. Highly recommended!

Good service and nice views, but the parking lot felt a bit too narrow. Highly recommended! The service, breakfast, and everything else were great. The executive lounge upstairs and the afternoon tea were wonderful.

The room was clean, tidy, and very beautiful. Rust provided excellent service and even helped bring all our luggage right to the door.

Fantastic view of the Bund, and the hotel's grand and luxurious facilities are perfect for taking photos. The butler service, 24-hour in-room breakfast, and well-rounded services were impressive, and the dining at Polux was also quite commendable.

Simply amazing, just pure perfection. Rainie provided such attentive and caring service. I absolutely loved the Bulgari swimming pool and the rooftop bar—the bartender was handsome and the views were top-tier.

Looking for a quieter holiday getaway, we chose the Bvlgari Hotel. It was indeed very peaceful, yet still conveniently close to the Bund and Nanjing Road, making it easy to get around and find dining options. The hotel staff were all very kind and courteous. The room was well-equipped, and we received a generous selection of fruits and snacks. The breakfast being available until check-out was a definite plus. There were also many small gifts, and we even received chocolates as a farewell souvenir. Overall, it was a fantastic stay with a great experience.

Environment: Good. Even though it was still a city view room this time, I could catch a glimpse of the Suzhou River. Hygiene: Good. Minibar soft drinks (excluding alcoholic beverages): As pictured. The lemon liqueur is not complimentary, but it looks nice. Breakfast: Still 2 servings per 24 hours (or strictly speaking, according to the platform's check-in time, perhaps 2 servings per 21 hours?). Tried the healthy option this time. Service: Joanna, the butler, provided excellent service. I truly needed and received the butler's help, which I greatly appreciate. Also, the chocolates, chocolate tart, and chocolate cake were all delicious. (For first-time guests, don't be like me and cause too much trouble for the staff.)

The room facilities, lighting, and maintenance were all exceptional. The bed was very comfortable, and the service was thoughtful. It was a great experience!
