🌟 The Shanghai Seagull on the Bund: The Ultimate View Hotel Experience! Unbeatable river views, watch the Lujiazui 'Four-Piece Set' right from your bed! ✨
🌃 The View is Absolutely Breathtaking
✅ Directly facing the Bund and the 'Architecture of All Nations' buildings. Photos from the balcony instantly look like they're from a movie.
✅ The Lujiazui 'Four-Piece Set' panorama is fully in view, offering two stunning perspectives, day and night.
🏙 The View: Day and Night, Two Kinds of Awe
• Daytime – Sunlight glints on the Huangpu River, the 'Architecture of All Nations' is like a vintage oil painting. You can clearly see the distinct lines of Lujiazui's skyscrapers across the river. Sipping coffee on the balcony truly feels like being in a movie.
• Nighttime – The entire Bund lights up, and the river reflects the dazzling lights. The room doesn't even need lights on to create a romantic atmosphere. You can watch the Oriental Pearl Tower change colors right from your bed – it's absolutely worth it!
✨ Secret Photo Spot: The floor-to-ceiling window by the bathtub is perfect for silhouette photos at night. The balcony is best for photos during the blue hour at dusk.
🛁 Full Room Experience Review
• The bathtub was even bigger than I expected, and it came with a bath bomb. Soaking in the tub while watching the cruise ships pass by at night cured all my fatigue.
• Complimentary fruit was replenished daily, and the mini-bar had so many drinks and snacks I couldn't finish them all (soda water, juice, local beer, capsule coffee – you name it!).
• The room facilities were very modern. The curtains were fully automatic, power outlets had Type-C ports, and the smart toilet was incredibly convenient.
• Free laundry and ironing service was a thoughtful touch, really convenient for business trips or extended stays.
🍳 Hidden Breakfast Tips
2. The semi-buffet style is perfect for someone like me who has 'eyes bigger than their stomach':
✅ Must-order: Eggs Benedict, the sauce was perfectly balanced.
✅ Highly recommend the pickled beetroot salmon from the cold cuts section – refreshing and appetizing.
✅ Parma ham with melon is a classic pairing, and the cheese selection had six or seven options.
✅ The Chinese noodle soup from the à la carte menu was also delicious and worth trying.
💎 Service Details Worth Praising
Kelsey, our butler, provided incredibly attentive service, making us feel right at home! She proactively contacted us before check-in, meticulously explained every window's view features, and the custom-made luggage tags we received upon departure were of excellent quality. The gym and pool were quiet with few people. Although not large, they had all the necessary equipment and were very clean.
📸 Recommended Photography Times
• Daytime: 9-11 AM, soft light, great for portraits with the river view.
• Dusk: Half an hour before and after sunset, the Bund's buildings have a golden outline.
• Nighttime: After 7 PM, all the lights are on, and the most stunning Bund appears.
📍 Check-in Tips:
• For a view room, definitely choose a high floor (10th floor or above recommended).
• If it's a birthday or anniversary, you can mention it in advance for a potential surprise setup.
• Right outside the hotel is the North Bund Riverside Promenade, which is much less crowded than the main Bund.
If you also want a weekend where you can lie down and admire the Bund,
