W Hotel The Bund, Shanghai
More photosExpert reviews
“The W Shanghai has a plum location just north of the Bund, providing stunning views of the Pudong skyline from the outdoor pool deck. A comical touch in the 374 rooms: pillows in the shape of soup dumplings and oversized chopsticks.”
Shortlisted in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Shanghai, China.
“As with most Ws, it makes a strong effort to meld Western-style hip luxury with an artsy nod to local culture and traditions, and the blend is reflected in fun light sculptures, mock historical graffiti in the main restaurant, and even novelty dumpling-and-chopsticks decorative bed pillows that evoke traditional Shanghainese culture.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Shanghai.
“Shanghai’s latest five-star hotel soars over the north Bund affording extraordinary views of the Huangpu River and futuristic Pudong skyline. This enormous adult playpen offers spacious rooms, fun eating and drinking options and a sexy outdoor swimming pool.”

Best stay in Shanghai
Had an amazing night stay in a Fabulous room overlooking the incredible Shanghai skyline.
The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive. Alex the Guest Experience Manger greeted us on arrival and really made us feel welcome.
The whole team really did their best to make it a wonderful stay and of all the hotels I’ve stayed at in Shanghai it was the staff that really went above and beyond compared to other properties.
5 stars!
Nothing to dislike. Had a wonderful stay.

In and above Shanghai: recommended!
The architecture was amazing! We stayed in a room (not even the top range) with nearly 180-degree view. The food and location were also superb.
The pools looked much larger in the pictures.

Dirty windows
The view is amazing
Windows were very dirty so we couldn't see much of the stunning view, Unfriendly staff, we had to wait to be seated and they chose the place to sit even if it's half full dinning area.

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!!!
The hotel is pretty and the room are very clean.
It’s such disappointment stay in W Shanghai! First of all, the concierge service was extremely BAD!!! I mean I’m the guest staying in your hotel and they were treat me like I’m one of their teammates? They were just so rude and missed up the take-out delivery EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Secondly, the elevator was HORRIBLE! Can you imagine staying in a five-star hotel waiting elevator to get to your room for like 10 minutes? I would really like to ask did your employees study HOTEL MANAGEMENT well while they were in University? It’s shouldn’t be what a five-star hotel serves like and your concierge management should really be improved to their skills. It’s just not worth the money! Won’t come again.

Bulgari Hotel, Shanghai
CN Traveler + 1 more“Bulgari stands out for its ability to channel the city vibe without losing a sense of the brand’s Italian DNA. An immaculately choreographed tussle between Italian and Chinese design is enacted in marble and bronze versus silk and lacquer.”

Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
Lonely Planet + 3 more“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.”
Hotel Kevin’s Old House, Shanghai
Lonely Planet“Housed in a secluded 1927 four-storey French Concession villa, this lovely, quiet place is run by a friendly, English-speaking owner. Six spacious suites are spread throughout the house. Suite 328 is the pick of the bunch.”
Park Hyatt Hotel, Shanghai
CNN + 1 more“The Park Hyatt provides the best angle to view Shanghai: from the top. Occupying the upper part of the 492-meter Shanghai World Financial Center, all 174 rooms enjoy stunning vistas overlooking Lujiazui high-rises, the Huangpu River or the Puxi downtown area.”
