This hotel is really, really good! The location and service are both top-notch! I hesitated a lot because it was a bit pricier than I expected (it was National Day, so there was a premium), but it was truly the best choice I made!
First, the accommodation! It was clean and the view was amazing. I arrived early for check-in and asked if they could give me a room with a good view. They found me the best view room comparable to the one I paid for 😆
Next, the location! Nanjing East Road and People's Square are right in front, which was great for tours (many meeting points are at People's Square) and shopping. Plus, many famous restaurants (hot mala ban on social media, Lu Xuxu butter cakes, crab roe and shrimp dumplings, milk tea, etc.) delivered, and a robot brought the food to my door, allowing me to try a variety of dishes. It saved so much time, it was amazing!
The staff's service was also excellent. They helped with my luggage and were incredibly kind. Thank you! Oliver and Riley are the best! I'll definitely come again.FromMXN$3,138

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.27km from city centre
The Westin Bund Center is a five-star hotel with an excellent location. It's within walking distance of Yuyuan Garden Metro Station, Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Bund waterfront promenade, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is adjacent to the Bund Center, whose lotus-shaped roof acts like a crown for the hotel, giving it a grand and recognizable exterior.
The lobby atrium is a design highlight, featuring a 26-meter-high glass ceiling and a glass 'sky escalator' connecting the first to fourth floors, seamlessly integrating natural light – it's absolutely beautiful. The Lobby Lounge, located in the atrium, is surrounded by palm trees and flowing water, evoking a Southeast Asian vibe. It subtly encourages visitors to pause, enjoy the scenery, chat, and sip tea – truly a delightful way to live.
While the guest rooms aren't huge, their overall layout is well-planned and facilities are comprehensive. The Heavenly Bed is truly captivating; the soft, delicate, clean, and skin-friendly bedding enhances a deeply immersive dream. Three floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic city views – the more you stay, the more you'll love it!
The Stage restaurant offers a bountiful buffet breakfast, with both Chinese and Western options. The omelets are shaped like egg dumplings and taste great, the croissants are quite good, the tofu pudding is delicious, and the latte coffee is also pleasant. We didn't get to try the Chinese restaurant as it was hosting a wedding banquet.
The hotel also has a full range of fitness equipment and an indoor heated swimming pool. It's a truly joyful experience to relax and unwind here.FromMXN$4,035

We had a fantastic stay and were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, always even greeting us at the door, opening doors and checking cars for belongings left behind after long shopping trips.
The hotel has a beautiful, luxurious atmosphere, with excellent facilities including a very well-equipped gym and separate men’s and women’s sauna and steam rooms as well as a pool and hot tub. There is also an onsite spa opened till 2am! The ‘This Works’ bathroom toiletries in the rooms were a lovely touch and smelled wonderful.
Breakfast was outstanding, with an impressive selection and freshly prepared omelettes, steamed buns and pancakes. The English-speaking staff were also incredibly helpful throughout our stay and provided great recommendations of places to see and where to eat close by.
The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Nanjing Road and the Bund.

My brother-in-law highly recommended this place, and I've stayed here with him many times before. Every visit is consistently excellent. The breakfast ingredients are fresh and delicious, just like the high-quality items you'd find at the Sam's Club next door. The unique large floor-to-ceiling screen windows offer a refreshing view of ”Zhaoxiang Sports Park.” It's incredibly convenient for swimming, fitness, parking, Starbucks, Sam's Club, the Outlets, and the high-speed rail.
After downloading the app, using the AI smart lamp is very convenient. Just hand your phone to the front desk, and in a few minutes, it's all set up.

They even knew it was our birthday and gave us a new Ritz lion charm when we checked out – so thoughtful!

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
The taxi dropped us off at the north gate of the Peace Hotel. If it's peak season, check-in might not be until 2:30 PM. You can't really evaluate the Peace Hotel with terms like 'value for money' anymore; it offers a unique experience, an atmosphere and style reminiscent of a modern era. Be sure to bring some glamorous outfits, as it's perfect for photos. The rooms are spacious and well-equipped, and the service is incredibly responsive (within reason, of course). Breakfast quality is also excellent. Another outstanding advantage is its location: step out of the south gate and you're on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, turn left and you're in the heart of the Bund, with several dining options in the nearby Bund Source architectural complex. A minor drawback is the limited sofa seating in the public areas, which fills up quickly with guests waiting to check in.FromMXN$7,561

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.12km from city centre
Location: The hotel boasts an exceptional location, situated in the Jin Mao Tower, one of the 'Lujiazui Trio,' right next to the Shanghai Tower and the Shanghai World Financial Center.
The hotel's design seamlessly blends Eastern aesthetics with Western architectural beauty, exuding both old-money charm and luxurious style. All hotel staff are also bilingual in Chinese and English.
Experience: Our entire stay was fantastic. Since it was my birthday, Mia from Guest Services specially arranged a room upgrade for us. From the room, we could see the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, the Bund, and even the Magnolia Plaza across the river in North Bund. We thoroughly enjoyed watching the light show from here during the National Day holiday.
Mia and her colleagues also prepared a Tiramisu birthday cake and flowers for me, for which I am truly grateful.
Pool and Spa facilities: The indoor swimming pool's water quality was exceptionally clear, easily ranking among the top three of all the hotels I've visited. The sauna and cold plunge bath I experienced afterward were also excellent.
The only area for improvement is that there was no discount for in-house guests at the hotel's buffet lunch. Even so, we will still choose to stay at the Grand Hyatt Shanghai on our next visit to Shanghai.
Mia's professionalism and hospitality deserve commendation from the hotel and serve as an example for other service staff.

The location is superb, right in the IFC complex, with rooms starting from the 45th floor. The river-view rooms offer direct views of the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Lujiazui 'three-piece set,' making the night view absolutely stunning. The Ritz service is consistently attentive and reliable. Breakfast is a semi-buffet with à la carte options, and the quality is excellent. The FLAIR rooftop bar on the 58th floor has a fantastic ambiance. While the hotel opened a while ago, so the facilities show some age, the bathtub in the room is quite close to an office building, offering limited privacy when bathing. However, direct access downstairs to the IFC mall makes getting around and shopping extremely convenient.

The Bund Area Shanghai|2.48km from city centre
Five-star review! Choosing the Hyatt on the Bund for my Shanghai trip this time was an excellent decision. The location is unbeatable; just a short walk takes you to the Bund and Waibaidu Bridge. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer direct views of the Huangpu River, and at night, with the Lujiazui lights twinkling, watching the night view from bed is incredibly relaxing.
While the hotel is an older five-star property and the rooms aren't brand new, they are impeccably clean and very comfortable. The bed firmness is just right, ensuring a refreshing night's sleep. The gentleman at the front desk who checked me in was very helpful, assigning me a room based on my specific requests, which was great since I checked in quite late. From the moment I arrived, all the staff I encountered were courteous and polite. I especially want to commend Lorna and Lexie for their incredibly patient and attentive service. The breakfast spread is quite rich, and the noodles (both soup and fried) from the noodle station were delicious; I had them every day. And you absolutely must visit the Vue Bar on the top floor; the rooftop offers an unparalleled view of the night skyline.
The only minor drawback was that it was a holiday, so there were quite a few people, and sometimes we had to wait a bit for the elevators. Overall, the experience was fantastic. If you're coming to Shanghai and want to see the Bund's night view, I wholeheartedly recommend this place without hesitation. I'll definitely stay here again next time!FromMXN$2,889

You can't beat the location – right in the heart of Nanjing West Road, bustling outside, yet quiet inside. The hotel is all-suite, with the smallest room being 62 square meters, offering separate living and sleeping areas, so space is definitely generous. Each suite comes with a kitchen (induction hob, microwave, etc.) and a washer-dry dryer, which is incredibly practical for long stays or dealing with the rainy season. The hotel's design has an old Shanghai charm, but it's not overly fussy; the Art Deco details are very appealing. Rooms are comfortable, and the restaurant is pleasant. There are reliable dining options nearby, and it's convenient for business meetings. The gym is outsourced to a chain brand, so the equipment is better than typical hotel gyms; there's also a pool for a relaxing dip. The terrace offers expansive views, perfect for an evening drink. Overall, the facilities are practical and impressive. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai.FromMXN$3,456

✈️ Massage at Shanghai Pudong Airport (PVG)
If you have a layover at the airport, you don't necessarily need to head into the city centre to treat yourself to a relaxing break. A massage at Shanghai Pudong Airport can be a convenient solution to recharge your batteries during a few hours' transit.
Dazhong Airport Hotel (between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2)
Airport lounges
Spa and massages outside the airport
Those with a long layover (at least 8-9 hours) who are able to leave the airport might consider treating themselves to a spa and massage experience in Shanghai at one of the large wellness centres located outside the airport.
💡 Top tip: before leaving the airport, it's always a good idea to factor in travel time, getting back through security, and any immigration procedures, especially if you have international connections.
