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.

To celebrate our wedding anniversary, we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong, and the overall experience far exceeded our expectations. It truly deserves a five-star rating. The hotel's location and views are impeccable. Our room faced the Bund and the Huangpu River, offering an incredibly expansive view. Whether it was the morning sunshine or the dazzling night lights of Lujiazui, we could take it all in through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. The depth and breadth of the scenery were truly impressive. Secondly, a special thank you must go to Ms. Angela. Upon learning it was our wedding anniversary, she thoughtfully decorated our room. The attention to detail truly showcased the care and warmth of a luxury hotel, making our stay full of surprises and touching moments. From the room's hardware facilities to the welcoming service provided by all the 'Ladies and Gentlemen,' everything perfectly embodied the essence of the Ritz-Carlton. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai for a vacation or to celebrate a special occasion!

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.

The Peninsula Shanghai truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier luxury hotel on the Bund. Its location is superb, right next to the Waibaidu Bridge, offering panoramic views of the Lujiazui skyline from the river-view rooms. The Art Deco-inspired decor is high-end and sophisticated, and the guest rooms and bathrooms are spacious, with a thoughtful double-sink design. What impressed me most was the 'Peninsula Time' – checking in at 6 AM and checking out at 10 PM – making for a very generous stay duration. The concierge and butler services were meticulous, and the lobby afternoon tea and the sixth-floor heated pool experience were outstanding. It's definitely worth a stay for a holiday in Shanghai.

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 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 reception at Conrad Shanghai was warm, professional, and patient in introducing the surrounding area and hotel facilities, providing attentive and thoughtful service throughout our stay. The hotel enjoys an unbeatable location, close to the Bund and right next to the pedestrian street. The room was clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches. It offered a fantastic stay experience and is a great choice when visiting Shanghai! Special thanks to Quain, G, Ivy, and Diana for their wonderful service.

I had a wonderful stay in the Fabulous Bund View Twin Room (Room 3016) at W Shanghai - The Bund. The room offers an angled view where you can see Lujiazui's famous trio and the Oriental Pearl Tower, while the right side overlooks the historic architecture of the Bund—the night view is especially stunning. The hotel breakfast offered a great variety with plenty of options. A special thanks to Estelle at the front desk; her warm and attentive service made me feel truly welcome. Overall, it was a relaxing and pleasant stay. If I visit Shanghai again, I would definitely consider staying here.

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!
