Spa hotels in Shanghai

During my recent trip to Shanghai, I stayed at the Bellagio, the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund, and the St. Regis Jingan, and the Bellagio was by far my favorite. 1. I was completely won over by the hotel slippers and the minibar. The slippers have a non-slip sole and are very comfortable. The minibar is exquisitely arranged with sophisticated and beautiful glassware—it's an absolute feast for the eyes. 2. The front desk informed me that the minibar drinks are complimentary upon signing up as a hotel member. This is a very generous policy, especially since the other two hotels charged for them. 3. I was traveling with my 6-year-old child and should have paid for a children's breakfast. We also had a 21-yuan snack in the room, and I truthfully reported all of this at checkout. To my surprise, my full deposit was refunded without any extra charges. Thank you so much! 4. The room was spacious and very comfortable, featuring high-end amenities and a great bathtub. 5. The location is excellent. Although many people mind that it doesn't offer a direct view of the river, the Garden Bridge of Shanghai (Waibaidu Bridge) is just a few minutes' walk away, making it very convenient for a stroll along the riverfront. Summary: The Bellagio truly makes you feel at home. It's clear that they genuinely care about their service, rather than just chasing good reviews. Furthermore, none of the staff ever pressured me to leave a positive review.

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. This is definitely the top choice if you want to experience the Lujiazui night view.

Beyond exceptional service! Incredible atmosphere, modern facilities, and huge thanks to Aaron, Silvia, and Tay! Five stars are truly not enough for H+ Hotel Shanghai, Pudong! From the very moment you step inside, the hotel smells delicious, fresh, and welcoming. The entire property radiates a sense of peace and tranquility, making it a wonderful retreat—especially considering we had to check in very late. Having complimentary tea, juice, and water right at the entrance was lovely, but it was the incredible team that made our stay unforgettable. 1. Arron's unmatched kindness and care: Special recognition goes to Arron. When I arrived late at night suffering from a severe cold, Arron didn't just point me to a pharmacy—he searched for an open one, walked me there at midnight, and translated everything so I could get the right medicine. The next day, he even checked in on me to ask how I was feeling and if I needed anything else. That genuine care is something I will never forget. 2. Silvia's incredible attention to detail (Saved my Invisalign!): I also want to give a massive thank you to Silvia. Amidst all the rushing and stress with a family emergency, I accidentally left my Invisalign retainers in a glass cup in the room. My family thought for sure they had been thrown away by housekeeping. When I called back, Silvia immediately checked and sent me a photo showing they were kept completely safe in the cup! Taking such care not to throw away personal items in glasses shows incredible delicacy and respect for guests' belongings. 3. Next-level facilities, room details & Circadian Lighting suggestion: The gym is great, and the self-service laundry features state-of-the-art washing machines with technology I had never seen before—it really shows how advanced China is right now! The spa looked beautiful and high-end (though a bit on the pricier side). The beds are extremely comfortable and a good size for four adults. Feature feedback / Tip on windowless rooms: The artificial window lighting in these rooms is fantastic because it genuinely looks like natural daylight! However, since the beds are so comfortable and the room can get pitch-black, it’s easy to oversleep when you want to wake up early to explore Shanghai. It would be an amazing feature if the hotel could automate these artificial light panels to turn on gradually with the sunrise to support guests' circadian rhythms! Conclusion: Wonderful modern facilities, a peaceful atmosphere, and most importantly, people like Arron, Silvia, and Tay who make this place truly special. I would return here in a heartbeat! 服务超越满分！环境极其舒适，设施先进，特别感谢 Arron、Silvia 和 Tay！ 给五星好评都远远不够！一走进 上海浦东H+酒店 的大堂，就能闻到非常香甜、清新的香氛，整个酒店弥漫着一种平静与宁和的氛围，让人瞬间放松下来。大堂常备的茶水、果汁和矿泉水非常贴心，特别是我们两次深夜办理入住，前台都安排得无微不至。 1. 感谢 Arron 无微不至的照顾： 特别要表扬 Arron。我深夜入住时得了重感冒，非常难受，Arron不仅帮我查了药店，甚至在午夜亲自陪我走到药店并全程帮忙翻译买药。更让人暖心的是，第二天他还不忘关切地问我身体好些没有、还需要什么帮助。这种真诚的关怀实在太难得了！ 2. 感谢 Silvia 极其细致的服务（帮我找回隐形牙套！）： 还要特别感谢 Silvia。由于当时家里突发紧急情况，手忙脚乱中我把自己的隐形牙套（Invisalign）遗留在了房间的水杯里。家人都以为保洁人员肯定当垃圾扔掉了，没想到我打电话过去时，Silvia 立刻帮我确认并拍了照片，牙套被原封不动地妥善留着！保洁人员没有随意清理杯中物品，这种细心和对客人财物的尊重真的让我太惊喜了。 3. 设施体验与无窗房“生物钟照明”小建议： 健身房非常棒，自助洗衣房配置了超现代化的顶尖科技洗衣设备，有些功能我以前从未见过，让人直观感受到了当今中国科技的发展与便利！Spa区域看起来非常高端优雅（虽然价格稍微偏贵了一点点）。床铺极其舒适，尺寸足够四位成年人使用。 关于无窗房的体验与建议： 房间里的模拟窗户灯光设计得太棒了，关灯后视觉效果和自然光一模一样！但因为床实在太舒服，如果关掉灯整个房间会完全漆黑，对于想早起探索上海的游客来说很容易睡过头。如果酒店未来能将这套模拟日光系统自动化，让灯光顺应外界日出时间自动缓缓亮起，帮助调节客人的昼夜生物钟（昼夜节律），那就真的太完美了！ 总结： 环境温馨平静，设施现代化，最重要的是有像 Arron、Silvia 和 Tay 这样优秀的员工，让这家酒店闪闪发光。强烈推荐，下次来还会选择这里！

A month before the National Day holiday, I started planning our family trip with our 2.5-year-old. He's not really suited for crowded tourist spots, and as low-energy parents, we're not up for intense 'special forces' style parenting either. So, I opted for a 'staycation,' which is super popular on Xiaohongshu (xhs). I'd bookmarked several highly-rated family-friendly hotels, and Pudong Kerry stood out as the most satisfying from my research. It offered family rooms, a kids' playground, and direct access to a mall – incredibly convenient! I quickly booked a stay on Ctrip, full of anticipation. We checked in on the evening of the 3rd. The front desk lady was very polite and answered all my questions in detail. When I asked if an additional adult could accompany my child into the playground (the package included entry for one adult and one child, but I was worried I wouldn't have enough energy and we'd need to take turns looking after him 🤣), she agreed without hesitation. I'm really grateful for that, and it proved to be a lifesaver in the playground – we truly couldn't keep up with our child! He had an amazing time, and we parents were exhausted. Upon entering the room, we immediately saw the special tent, a highlight of the family suite. Forget kids, even I, a 30+ adult, wanted to crawl in and hang out for a bit! For the two days we stayed, this little tent became his 'secret base.' When we were relaxing in the hotel, he'd be in there watching Qiaohu (Chuckle) or playing with his toys. The hotel also gifted him a little kangaroo plushie. Wow, it completely won him over and became his 'best buddy.' Every night before bed, he'd ask, 'Where's my best buddy?' Hahaha, the innocence of a child really touches your heart every single moment. The kangaroo T-shirt was a bit big, but that's fine; he can wear it when he's older and we can come back to the Kerry Hotel again. During check-in, the bed rail and children's toiletries were all prepared, which was very thoughtful. The first round of the mini-bar was free, and they even provided cookies, which tasted pretty good. The only suggestion I have is that the bed rail felt a bit unstable. At the head of the bed, it was fine because of the cabinet propping it up, but the foot of the bed felt loose; if you nudged it slightly, it felt like it would fall. Later, I was worried he might roll off in the middle of the night if the rail gave way, so I stuffed pillows along the side of the rail, which solved the problem. Hotel breakfast is on the 1st floor. Booking a family room includes two breakfasts. The breakfast spread was extensive, with Chinese and Western options, noodles, wontons, bread, and pastries – everything you could want, and it all tasted good. Next to the kids' playground was a gym, which looked very good with plenty of equipment, but I didn't get to experience it as I was with my child. This trip was very satisfying, and I look forward to returning to the Kerry Hotel to unlock new experiences.

Rating: 5/5 This was my second stay at the Waldorf Astoria, and I must say the experience was excellent. From the elegant Morandi-inspired color palette to the spacious 2-meter bed, everything in the room was impressive and incredibly relaxing. The staff were all very polite! I think next time I visit Shanghai, I will continue to choose the Waldorf Astoria. Also! During this stay at the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, I'd like to extend a special thanks to our dedicated concierge, Aaron Echole. He proactively added me on WeChat on the night of check-in, which made communication seamless afterward. When I requested a late check-out at the last minute, the concierge immediately helped coordinate and implement it, making the entire process efficient and smooth. I didn't have to go back and forth to the front desk for inquiries. The communication was easy and thoughtful, and responses were quick. You could feel the dedication in the details. Such flexible and considerate service made my trip much more relaxed and significantly enhanced this stay.

The river-view suite at The Peninsula Shanghai is undoubtedly the gold standard for a luxurious stay in the magic city. Situated in a prime location at the source of the Bund, the suite offers an unobstructed panoramic view of the winding Huangpu River and the dazzling Lujiazui skyline, featuring its iconic 'three-piece suit' of skyscrapers. Especially as night falls and the city lights up, enjoying this breathtaking night view from the comfort of your room or private terrace creates an incredibly immersive atmosphere. In terms of hardware, the suite perfectly blends understated luxury with retro charm. The spacious room design cleverly incorporates Art Deco style with old Shanghai aesthetics. A separate walk-in closet, a marble double bathtub, underfloor heating, and a highly tech-savvy bedside control panel all demonstrate an extreme pursuit of detail. Despite being open for over a decade, the hotel meticulously maintains its facilities, and the quality remains impeccable. Furthermore, the dining options within the hotel are not to be missed. Whether it's the exquisite cuisine at the Michelin-starred restaurants or the highly ceremonial English afternoon tea in the lobby, both offer an ultimate culinary delight. A stay in a river-view suite at The Peninsula Shanghai promises an unforgettable journey through luxury. Special thanks to the helpful young lady with glasses at the front desk (I was in a hurry to check in and forgot to ask her name) who kindly upgraded my reserved garden-view suite to a river-view suite for free. I also have a small suggestion: for example, the portion size of the waffles for breakfast is three times that of The Peninsula Beijing. It would be great if guests could be recommended à la carte options, as a smaller, more refined breakfast would reduce waste.

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, very close to The Bund and White Magnolia Plaza. The room had large floor-to-ceiling windows, was clean and spacious, and the facilities were well-maintained. The front desk staff and hotel butler provided meticulous and thoughtful service. The indoor circular pool was huge; soaking in the pool and admiring the bustling night view of Lujiazui outside the window completely washed away travel fatigue. The hotel has an observation deck on the top floor, and the complimentary travel photography was excellent. From the second-floor corridor of the hotel, you can walk along the river to The Bund, enjoying the gentle breeze and the vibrant cityscape of Shanghai. I was very satisfied with this trip!👍

The views from the W Shanghai - The Bund are simply incredible, with floor-to-ceiling windows directly facing the Huangpu River and Lujiazui. The night views are especially stunning and make for great photos. The only downsides were that the mattress was a bit too soft, which made my back ache after a while, and the soundproofing in the room wasn't great. I could clearly hear noises from the hallway and next door, which disturbed my sleep at night. While the scenery is definitely the highlight and perfect for a visit to admire the view, those who prioritize a good night's sleep might want to consider other options.

On my annual leave, I traveled from Zhuhai to Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Shantou, Xiamen, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Wuxi, Nanjing, Suzhou, and finally Shanghai. This hotel in Shanghai was the most satisfying place my parents and I stayed during the entire trip. First, it's super close to the North Exit of Shanghai Station, just a few steps away – absolutely fantastic! The front desk staff were incredibly warm and thoughtful, even giving us breakfast vouchers, which was a very kind touch. Given the room rates, the value for money is exceptionally high! It was very quiet at night, ensuring a good sleep, and the room was well-equipped with all necessary appliances. Transportation is excellent with trains, long-distance buses, and the subway all nearby. It's also easy to hail a ride-sharing service right outside the hotel. The breakfast buffet was great, with excellent service from the staff and delicious food. Oh, and a special shout-out to the hairdryer and the smart toilet in the room – big thumbs up! We had a wonderful time enjoying a night cruise on the Huangpu River along the Bund. Due to its prime location right next to Shanghai Station, this hotel is a must-choose for any travelers needing to transfer or wanting to explore. The decor is new, and the service is top-notch! Highly recommended!

I had an exceptional stay at Andaz Xintiandi. When I arrived, I was so happy to see Peter at the front desk. He was as welcoming and nice as usual, and he arranged a great corner room for me. The room was wonderful, and I also got to try a new trial amenity they recently added: a massage tool for the bed in some of the rooms. It was so great that I didn’t want to get out of bed! It was very easy to use and available in multiple languages, which made it super convenient. Thank you to Peter and the team for another fantastic experience. Highly recommended, and I can’t wait to return!
