Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
Expert reviews
“Slightly tucked away from the Lùjiāzu five-star hotel melee in a sheltered riverside spot, the 362-room Mandarin Oriental is a visual feast, from the beautiful oval chandeliers and multicoloured glass murals in the lobby to the excellent dining choices.”
“This luxury hotel chain is a latecomer to the Shanghai market, but owners have used the time to size up the competition and open in 2013 with a great attention to detail. The Mandarin Oriental Pudong is the five-star Pudong-side hotel closest to the Huangpu River.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Shanghai.
“As you pull up to the new Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai, one thing is clear — you can successfully create a city hotel that feels like a secluded escape. While the classic Art Deco architecture dominates the city’s famous Bund, Shanghai’s Pudong side is increasingly more modern, and so is this Five-Star hotel.”
“Although the Mandarin Oriental’s location in the Lujiazui business district is better suited to busy execs, tourists willing to sacrifice a little bit of extra travelling time will likely be bowled over by the the hotel’s large ultra-luxurious rooms, extensive facilities and sterling service.”

This is the best hotel
All the staff were kind and friendly. I think the woman who seems to be in charge of the club rooms is an excellent staff member. I had a comfortable stay from check-in to check-out.
The only bad thing is the toilet. The toilet itself is clean, but the toilet seat is cold. I wish they would change it to a heated toilet seat.

The rooms were big and had nice river view. The staff were friendly and helpful.
The location was a bit far from malls and dining. About a fifteen minutes walk to the pearl tower,however the hotel provides a shuttle to one of the big malls in the area.

A Mandarin wonder in a Wonderland.
This hotel was outstanding in every way. We had not expected much from Shanghai as it was just where we had to fly to and from for our trip to Japan. We stayed 2 nights just to ensure we made the connection. If only we had realised how amazing Shanghai would be and that this hotel was the icing on the cake. I would recommend this hotel as it is ideal in every way. The view from the room was out of this world.
There was nothing I did not like. This hotel was the epitome of excellence.

I would stay with you again.
Good breakfast, nice SPA, comfortable rooms, very kind and polite stuff. The view from our room was amazing.
Heating could be better in December. We were a little cold in our room.

If the price is right would happily return.
Having opted for Club rooms was the right decision. The complementary breakfast, discounts on spa and food in the restaurants, two pieces of dry cleaning per day and the club lounge made it all worthwhile.
Nothing that I am aware of.

Amazing rooms, the best concierge and overall facilities. I like that it’s in Pudong so that it’s away from the chaos of Nanjing Lu.
It’s 15 minute walk from the metro station which sometimes can be tiring after a long day of touring around, but it’s also not far enough to get a taxi.

Worth it
Great quiet location along the pudong river
A bit far from subway; but they do have a shuttle going there but not coming back

Beautiful hotel with impeccable service
Stunning MO hotel with excellent gym, spa and dining options. Beautiful, comfortable and ultimate luxury. The staff were also fantastic - Carson in particular was super helpful and gave us the most fantastic room!
The location is just over the river from “downtown” Shanghai so not ideal for some of the sights

An amazing hotel which provides a truly unique experience
The hotel is simply stunning with an amazing view of the oriental pearl tower, and not far from it. I also liked the facilities and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
The bathroom/closet took over half of the room and it couldn’t close properly which is not ideal if you’re not staying with your partner.

Fabulous
Key staff is very helpful and fluent in English. However, some staffs (at the hotel door) is very poor in English, very inconvenient for asking them to communicate with taxi driver.
