Best Time to Visit Shanghai

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street

Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street

Shanghai has a subtropical monsoon climate with four clear seasons and an annual mean temperature of about 17.5°C. July is normally the hottest month, while January is the coldest. Rain falls throughout the year, with the plum rain season from mid-June to early July and possible typhoons from summer to early autumn.

Best Time for Budget Travelers

Consider January to February outside the Chinese New Year holiday, or selected rainy-season dates in June. Hotel demand may be lower than during the busiest spring and autumn periods, but cold or wet weather can affect your plans.

Why visit

  • Better chance of finding selected hotel deals
  • Smaller crowds on some weekdays
  • Easier restaurant reservations outside major holidays
  • More time for museums, shopping, and indoor attractions
Money-saving tip: Compare hotels in different parts of Shanghai. Staying near a metro station outside the Bund or Nanjing Road area may cost less while still giving you convenient transport.

Best Time for Luxury Travelers

April to May and October to November are good for premium hotels, rooftop dining, private city tours, Huangpu River cruises, and nearby water-town trips.

Best experiences

  • Luxury hotel with a Bund or Pudong skyline view
  • Private city or food tour
  • Fine dining in the Bund area
  • Premium Huangpu River cruise
  • Spa stay or weekend hotel package
Booking tip: Reserve rooms with a clear skyline or river view early because these room types may sell out faster during comfortable travel seasons.

Best Time for Adventure Seekers

April to May and October to early November offer better conditions for cycling, long city walks, outdoor photography, and day trips. Avoid exposed areas during thunderstorms, heavy rain, extreme heat, or typhoon warnings.

Good outdoor plans

  • Cycle or walk along the West Bund
  • Explore the former French Concession on foot
  • Take a day trip to Zhujiajiao Water Town
  • Walk through large parks and botanical gardens
  • Visit nearby hiking or nature areas
Safety tip: Do not stay near rivers, elevated walkways, large trees, glass buildings, or construction areas during strong wind and thunderstorms.

Best Time for Cultural Travelers

Spring and autumn are comfortable for visiting traditional neighborhoods, museums, historic buildings, gardens, and local food areas. Chinese New Year can bring festive decorations, while the National Day period in early October brings holiday events and very large crowds.

Cultural travel tips

  • Check museum closing days before visiting
  • Reserve popular attractions when booking is required
  • Arrive early at Yu Garden and other busy areas
  • Avoid major holiday dates if you want a quieter visit
  • Keep a rainy-day museum plan ready

Best Time for Family Travelers

April, May, October, and early November are comfortable for families because the weather is better for parks, Shanghai Disneyland, riverside areas, and walking tours.

Family travel tips

  • Start early and plan regular rest stops
  • Mix outdoor attractions with museums or malls
  • Stay near a metro station
  • Bring snacks, water, and a small umbrella
  • Check the minimum height rules for theme park rides
  • Avoid long outdoor queues during extreme heat or heavy rain
🏨 Pro Tip: Don’t forget to looks for Shanghai hotels near major attractions to make your sightseeing more convenient!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and was extremely satisfied with both the facilities and the service. The location was excellent, the room was comfortable and clean, and everything was well managed. Most of all, I was truly impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the staff. I would especially like to thank Jeff Chen. During my stay, I encountered a situation that was difficult to resolve, but Jeff went above and beyond to help me. He listened carefully, understood my concerns, and did everything he could to find a solution. He was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout the entire process. Thanks to Jeff, what could have been a stressful situation turned into a very positive experience. His genuine care and excellent customer service made a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend this hotel, and I sincerely hope the hotel recognizes Jeff Chen for his outstanding service. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Shanghai!

I really have to commend Tristan at the front desk. I had a very unpleasant experience during check-in, and I was feeling quite upset. But because of the wonderful Tristan, a very lovely lady, who was gentle, attentive, and had such a kind attitude, what was originally a very frustrating situation became much more bearable thanks to her comforting words. I could truly feel that she genuinely cares about the guests, and she was both professional and empathetic. Many thanks to Tristan. Because of her, for all my future stays in Shanghai, I will only choose Marriott Executive Apartments.

It felt like stepping back into the 1930s. All the facilities, though vintage, were fully functional. My room was near the elevator, but a screen cleverly shielded the entrance, so it wasn't directly facing it. The elevators were fast and plentiful, preventing any congestion during peak hours. The room was well-stocked with amenities, and I appreciated all the thoughtful little details. Breakfast was incredibly generous; I especially loved the Japanese breakfast with soba, sushi, and onsen eggs, though there were plenty of other options too. The rooftop cafe offered a panoramic view of the garden, but unfortunately, I missed out on the afternoon tea set that day, which was a real shame. The food in the banquet hall was also incredibly rich and varied. It really feels like you get to enjoy good food in these kind of old-money hotels.

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|0.85km from city center
My friend was only staying in Shanghai for a day, so naturally, I wanted to give her an itinerary that offered both 'old-world charm and new-age chic.' While passing Nanjing West Road recently, this InterContinental 'Luxury Collection' hotel immediately caught my eye. And just as I expected, critical as she is, she complimented my taste the moment she walked in. Its most appealing features are its convenient location and its ability to be a tranquil oasis amidst the bustle: step outside, and you're on the vibrant Nanjing Road; turn around, and you're in the quiet serenity of a residential area. My friend said the elevator decor instantly made her feel like she'd 'traveled through time,' and that unique 'Haitian style' evoked long-lost memories of Shanghai. She had originally come to sightsee but happily spent most of her day lingering at the hotel. What she loved most were the terrace and the restaurant. On a summer evening, the breeze felt just like those childhood nights spent cooling off in the alleyways – she used to live in a Shikumen house. She remarked, 'If only I could lie in a wicker chair, fan myself with a palm-leaf fan, eat watermelon, and watch an outdoor movie, that would be truly divine.' She also adored the red hanging ornament in the lobby; it was vibrantly bright, yet its glass texture gave it a lively feel, much like Shanghai's character – passionate yet steady, with a touch of lightness within its composure. The food did not disappoint either. I pushed her to try the Shiqipu Noodle Restaurant, where the owner asked in Shanghainese, 'Mi dao ai hao fa?' (Is the taste good?), and she smiled and replied, 'Authentic,' instantly tearing up. She specifically bought the sweet variety of butterfly pastries from the International Hotel – saying 'only sweet is truly Shanghai.' Her only regret was: having stayed in too many foreign-style grand hotels, this time, with Shanghai elements everywhere and Shanghai flavors in every bite, it was 'just missing the sound of Shanghai.' Perhaps the cicada chirps in the alleyways and the hawkers' cries from the Shikumen are the hometown sounds she truly yearns to hear. However, she has already declared: the next time she returns, this will be her chosen hotel, and she plans to visit all the routes I arranged. I believe the charm of Shanghai has never been in its superficial glamour but in its ability to always find the most fitting way to blend East and West, ancient and modern, living as a unique 'Haipai' (Shanghai style). This is also the root that every Shanghainese person cherishes. Below are the three half-day itinerary options I created for her, which I've also compiled here, hoping they might help someone else: Option 1 · A Stroll Through Old Shanghai Charm Start from the hotel's main entrance on Fengyang Road and turn into Huanghe Road. The Changjiang Building and Changjiang Theater were the last residences of Eileen Chang; Huanghe Road is the origin of 'Blossoms Shanghai' (Fan Hua). The International Hotel is where her mother and aunt once stayed; next to it, the Sports Museum is rumored to be where Eileen Chang used to study. Diagonally opposite is the History Museum (formerly the Racecourse); the East Wing houses the old bronze lions from the HSBC Building on the Bund, and the 'Echoes of Shanghai' exhibition in the West Wing happens to talk about the past of Fengyang Road. The ornate windows of the West Wing and the Changjiang Building, mirroring the hotel's architecture, perfectly showcase the most fashionable Art Deco style of the 1930s. Option 2 · Tracing Red Memories Walk along Chengdu North Road to the Secretariat of the China Labor Movement, to see how Shanghai workers united into a revolutionary force; then visit the former site of the Songpu Special Committee. Go to the Sihang Warehouse to hear the echoes of the Battle of Shanghai and see the bullet-riddled walls recount the tragedy of that year. At night, turn into Xiang Kang Li on Xinchang Road to find the former site of the CCP Central Committee's secret printing press; on Nanjing West Road, there is also the former site of the Soviet Liaison Office, where, amidst the flickering lights, memories of the past reside. Option 3 · Modern and Retro Collision The LV 'Big Boat' on Nanjing West Road is currently a popular spot for photos; after visiting, turn into Wujiang Road for shopping and dining, and further ahead is Zhangyuan Shikumen – where new trends emerge in old alleyways, perfect for capturing stunning photos. Food Tips · The hotel restaurant's afternoon tea set is exquisite and picture-perfect. · Shiqipu Noodle Restaurant (the owner's Shanghainese is a living signboard). · Deda Western Restaurant and Gongdelin Noodle Restaurant, each with its own charm. · Donghai Small Restaurant (authentic Ningbo cuisine). · Chongming cuisine on the second floor of the hotel, authentic local flavors. · International Hotel butterfly pastries, remember to choose the sweet ones. Though the day was short, the essence of Shanghai will give her much to savor. When she returns next time, we'll continue our journey.

I specifically chose this hotel to host my foreign friends. It has a lot of character and the location is absolutely perfect—at most a 10-minute walk to the Bund and just 5 minutes to Yuyuan Garden. The rooms are very clean, the service attitude is exceptional, and they even gave us a small gift upon check-out. We stayed on the 10th floor, and the housekeeping staff up there were extremely diligent, responsible, and hospitable.

We were very happy with the customer service at The Westin Bund Hotel. All the staff we spoke to were very helpful, friendly and able to speak English, which made our stay very easy and comfortable. Our room was a little hot and the air conditioning was not working properly. We contacted the hotel and they immediately sent staff to check the issue. One of the staff members even came with a thermometer to check the room temperature. They also sent a fan within a few minutes to make us more comfortable. In the end, they offered to move us to another room. The service was truly above and beyond. They took our concern seriously and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. This is exactly what you expect from a 5-star hotel. The gym is quite big and has a good range of equipment. The swimming pool is also nice and has lifeguards on duty. The hotel is in a good location and easy to get around. Breakfast was also very good, with a good selection of Chinese and Westin options, as well as a few Japanese and Indian dishes. There is also a small convenience store next door where you can buy snacks, drinks and other basic items, which was very convenient. Overall, we had a very pleasant stay.

Huaihai Road Area/Xintiandi Area Shanghai|0.97km from city center
Pros: 1. The location is excellent. It's only about two or three kilometers by taxi to places like the Bund. The hotel is right next to Xintiandi, which is a very trendy and fashionable district, perfect for young people. 2. The rooms are spacious, and the decor doesn't look old-fashioned. Cons: Our group of three booked two rooms for three nights each, and our total room expense over these three days was over 8,000 RMB. One morning, I woke up early and asked if the hotel could offer a complimentary single breakfast for just me. The hotel refused, stating that breakfast costs 200 RMB per person. I've stayed in many five-star hotels in various places, and this is the only one that was so adamant about not providing a complimentary breakfast. If we had only stayed for one night, I might have understood, but I found their refusal quite surprising. Also, the hotel has live band performances in the evening. I asked a server if I could sit down and listen, but the server said it was a consumption area and I couldn't sit without making a purchase. I wonder why the hotel's dining area occupies such a large public space in the lobby, yet hotel guests aren't allowed to sit and enjoy the music. I hope the hotel can address this in the future.

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.65km from city center
It's a typical 4-star experience. The hotel is a bit dated, but its biggest selling point is the great location, making it very convenient to visit the Bund. There are plenty of time-honored local restaurants nearby; Xiao Shaoxing and Dahuchun are highly recommended. The room, service, and facilities all meet standard 4-star expectations. The room size is decent with all the necessary amenities, and it's well-maintained, though the bathroom lacks an overhead rain shower. The service is friendly and professional. Bottled water is available for self-service pickup in the elevator lobby as well as provided in the room. I stayed in a standard base-tier room for the night. Opening the curtains reveals the windows of other guest rooms opposite, resulting in poor privacy, so I had to keep the curtains closed all the time. Overall, it's suitable for a one-night stopover. For longer stays, you might want to consider chain hotels for better value for money, or increase your budget for a 5-star hotel if you're looking for higher quality.

The location speaks for itself—a prime scenic spot! The room was amazing! The service was truly exceptional, thoughtful, proactive, and attentive! Special recognition goes to Dawson Tang, the front office duty manager who assisted us! Since I was traveling with a child, the hotel's standard check-in time is 3:00 PM. However, I had an important commitment in the afternoon and urgently needed to check in early. Understanding the situation, Dawson immediately coordinated with the housekeeping department to prioritize room cleaning and personally went to inspect the room. By the time I arrived, check-in was ready, and we even found a special surprise prepared for my child in the room. It was so heartwarming! Dawson simply asked about my afternoon schedule and anticipated that we might miss dinner. He thoughtfully arranged access to the executive lounge afternoon tea for us. Such attentive service was truly touching! We learned after checking in that hundreds of foreign tourists were checking in and out during the day, meaning the staff had to put in an immense amount of extra effort and energy to get our room ready on time. Despite such a busy period, Dawson didn't overlook our needs and still went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and valued! When I visit Shanghai again, Hyatt On The Bund will be my top choice! Truly incredible value for money! No more words, time for photos! The view from the room matched my mood—stunningly beautiful, even with a typhoon passing through!

Dapuqiao Area Shanghai|2.92km from city center
Decent stay, but several misses for a 5-star property My stay at the Pullman Shanghai Central was a mixed bag—nice in some areas, but disappointing in others. Check-in: The staff were very friendly and welcoming on our first day. However, I was surprised that they wouldn't let me check in until 3:00 PM. At most other hotels, I'm usually able to get an early check-in (even if I arrive at noon), so this felt a bit rigid for a property of this level. The Room: The room itself was comfortable—the bed was soft and the shower pressure was actually perfect (not too strong, not too weak, just right). Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke upon arrival. To their credit, when I called the front desk, they immediately offered to change my room, which was very professional of them. Breakfast: This was the biggest letdown. The breakfast buffet felt more like what you'd expect from a 3-star hotel rather than a 5-star Pullman. The quality and selection just weren't there for me. Overall: It was an okay stay—nothing terrible, but nothing exceptional either. I wouldn't rate it a 10/10, more like a solid 6. Good service from the staff, but the check-in policy, smoke issue, and food really held it back.

Winning on ambiance and location, this is a historic building renovation that perfectly blends modernity with history. Highlights: • The prime Bund location is unbeatable. Step right outside to Nanjing Road and the night view of the Bund; exploring the city on foot is super convenient. • The texture of the century-old architecture is top-notch. The lobby, corridors, vintage elevator, and jazz bar are all full of narrative charm—something ordinary five-star hotels simply cannot replicate. • The legendary old jazz band is a must-see; the live atmosphere is ten times better than the photos. • Staying tip: Be sure to book the historical tour and check out the hotel museum along the way—it completely doubles the experience.

This stay far exceeded my expectations. From arrival and check-in to the guest room, dining, and public areas, the five-star quality was evident throughout. Everything was spot-on, making for an overall comfortable and truly reassuring experience. The exterior and lobby design are elegant and grand, featuring an open, airy layout with impeccably clean public spaces. The lighting and subtle fragrance complement each other perfectly, creating a soft, welcoming ambiance without feeling overwhelming. Stepping into the lobby immediately melted away my fatigue—whether returning during the day or late at night—thanks to the quiet and soothing environment. Check-in was smooth and efficient. The front desk staff were professional yet warm and personable; rather than just mechanically going through the process, they proactively introduced the hotel facilities, highlighted key details, and patiently answered questions with genuine care. The concierge was also fantastic, assisting with luggage, giving directions, and responding promptly. Across all departments, the staff demonstrated great professionalism—always greeting guests when passing by, addressing requests immediately without any hesitation or passing the buck. The service felt genuinely attentive rather than just superficial courtesy. The room was a major highlight of the stay. It was spacious, bright, and thoroughly cleaned, with every corner spotless and odor-free. The bedding was plush, the mattress struck the right balance between firm and soft, and the pillow menu provided great options, ensuring a sound night’s sleep. The soundproofing was exceptional—virtually no noise from the hallway or neighboring rooms, which is a huge plus for light sleepers. The room featured layered, adjustable lighting and stable climate control. In the bathroom, the wet and dry areas were well-separated, the water pressure was great with instant hot water, toiletries were fully stocked, and the towels were clean and fluffy. Housekeeping requests were handled quickly, with any extra items delivered promptly—a testament to their attention to detail. The hotel boasts a prime location with easy taxi access, making it ideal for both business trips and city sightseeing. The public facilities are well-maintained, clean, and organized, perfect for a relaxing stroll during downtime. Breakfast was equally impressive. The restaurant was clean and offered a wide variety of both Western and Chinese dishes, complete with hot entrees, pastries, fresh fruits, and beverages. Food was replenished quickly, so stations were never left empty even during peak hours. The staff cleared tables and restocked utensils promptly, keeping the dining experience orderly and pleasant despite the crowds. What stood out the most was the consistent quality throughout my multi-day stay. Daily housekeeping, common area cleanliness, and staff service remained consistently top-notch with no drop in standards. While many upscale hotels have stunning hardware but lack warmth in service, this property balances premium facilities with thoughtful, personalized hospitality perfectly—professional without feeling distant. Whether traveling for business or leisure, this hotel is a dependable and comfortable choice. A big thank-you to the entire team for their attentive service, which added many wonderful memories to this trip. I will definitely make this my first choice whenever I visit this city again and will gladly recommend it to family and friends.

When I first browsed the listings, this room type was called the ”Honeycomb,” but it was listed as ”Lake View Residence” when I actually booked. It's right by the lake, across from the main building and next to the big dome structure. You can go fishing here. The cabin looks like three hexagonal honeycombs pieced together, allowing kids to climb up and down, which they absolutely loved. The ground floor upon entering is the living room, equipped with a TV. Opposite, connecting to the bedroom area, is a setup that doubles as cushioned seating and a mini climbing frame for kids to play on. The overall space isn't huge—you can even watch the TV while lying in bed on the upper level. The bathroom and bedroom share the same open space, so we had to be very careful when washing up to avoid splashing water onto the counter by the bed. You also need to watch out when showering, as water tends to leak through the door gaps. Going up another level takes you to the rooftop terrace, which was my favorite spot. It’s perfect for sitting quietly and taking in the views. This room type doesn't have an indoor bathtub, but it features an outdoor hot tub on the lawn outside. While soaking, we noticed the outdoor AC unit was quite loud, and we had to bring our own light at night. If you're looking for total privacy while soaking, this might not be for you. I also wouldn't recommend it in cold weather, as it gets chilly. Next door are two treehouses with slides, which feature en-suite bathrooms with bathtubs. There is a shuttle service to and from the main building; you can just contact your butler whenever you need a ride. Honestly, offering a boat check-in experience would make it even more fun 😏. It’s best suited for sunny days—you can stargaze using the in-room telescope, and using the outdoor tub is much more convenient. The service was attentive, breakfast had a great spread, and there were plenty of activities for kids.

Xiaotong at the front desk enthusiastically introduced Room 1521 to us—a duplex where the lower level is underwater and the upper level is above water. It kept the waterfall view while also letting us share the space with plenty of fish. We were extremely satisfied! The hotel provided a complimentary fruit basket and pastries, plus a birthday cake, and thoughtfully set up a celebratory birthday atmosphere. They even thoughtfully surprised us with longevity noodles while we were having dinner at the executive lounge—it was one pleasant surprise after another. The breakfast on the second day was extensive and of great quality. When we left some belongings behind at the hotel, the front desk proactively called to remind us and even had SF Express courier them to our home. I was truly touched.

This is a Japanese-style ryokan where rooms are spread across individual two-story buildings, offering a relatively private and quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, and each comes with its own independent entrance. The hotel provides a shuttle bus that takes about 5 minutes to reach Disneyland, and morning and evening transfers can be reserved. In the morning, you generally only need to wait about 10 minutes to board the 7-seater van. For the evening, booking two hours in advance is usually sufficient to get on the bus on time, and the driver will also call to coordinate. The drop-off and pick-up point is located right next to the Disneyland metro and bus lines, and it takes about a 10-minute walk to get to Disneyland. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Especially considering that most surrounding hotels cost over 1,000 RMB (4 digits), we managed to snag a special rate under 1,000 RMB, making it very good value for money.

This hotel has a distinct Japanese vibe, and with parking right at the entrance, it's perfect for a quick overnight stay after visiting Disneyland. The duplex room has the bed on the second floor, with the foot of the bed facing a window. The blinds aren't very good at blocking out light, so it can get a bit bright in the morning if the weather's nice. The first floor has a small living room, a bathroom, a TV, and a small entryway. Kids would really enjoy this layout. The only downside is that since there are no windows on the first floor, there's a sewage smell in the bathroom. It's quite strong when you first enter, but you get used to it after a while. (^_^) Due to time constraints, we didn't get to try the onsen. Breakfast was simple, a set meal from Yonghe King. Within a kilometer, you'll find Chuansha Ancient Town, the God of Wealth Temple, and Ancient City Wall Park, making it great for a stroll the next day.

We had a lovely time staying at Zen spring hotel. Staff was incredibly sweet and helpful. Our flight was delayed by 1.5 hrs and despite the last pickup from airport being 11pm, they came to pick us up at 12am (remember to connect them on WeChat if u want to coordinate the pick up! They only speak Chinese though so translation would be required). Also note that the earliest Disneyland shuttle departs at 7.45am, so those buying early access would need to find your own transport! We also didn’t have a China phone number so we couldn’t order food delivery, however the front desk staff kindly offered to help order through her phone (we really appreciated this as we hadn’t eaten since lunch when we arrived!) We also enjoyed the hot spring within the hotel, do note that you will need swimming attire to enjoy the hot spring (we didn’t bring ours but managed to get swimming attire delivered to us for roughly 55yuan). They also have a service to “dress up” in their in-house hanfu selections - and will even do your hair, but you need to do your own makeup, we had fun and took many photos around the hotel.

Staying at The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai once again reminded me of what it means to be the 'benchmark of Ritz-Carlton excellence.' While the building itself shows signs of age, it's precisely this history that lends it a sophisticated, old-money elegance. The location is absolutely impeccable, making it incredibly convenient to get around, and the surrounding dining options are so abundant, it's hard to choose! I especially want to thank the Grace team for their incredibly warm service. Every detail truly embodied the Ritz-Carlton's hospitality philosophy – it felt both genuinely warm and incredibly refined. With the Shanghai Rolex Masters happening, the hotel was particularly lively. It just goes to show that even an 'old Ferrari' (referring to the classic Ritz-Carlton brand) still attracts so many guests. And that lion statue was just too enthusiastic; it's become a网红 hotspot for photos, with everyone wanting to snap a picture with it as they pass by.

The room was well-maintained, feeling fresh and clean. In the Executive Lounge, the afternoon tea's blueberry scones and walnut cake were quite good (the coffee machine is located in the innermost corner), though the evening canapés were of mediocre quality—I had the salted salmon. Breakfast on the 56th floor was decent; if you walk to the northernmost buffet station and look inside, you'll find freshly pan-fried buns (shengjianbao) and potstickers, which were delicious. The room is 40 square meters, and the bathroom is small and compact. Still, it's totally worth visiting for the experience—both its exterior and interior are the most stunning among the 'three major skyscrapers'.

It's the perfect balance of being in the heart of the action while still enjoying a calm retreat. Just around the corner on Huanghe Street, you'll find a fantastic array of great dining options, and the nearby highway makes arrival and departure incredibly fast and convenient — a huge plus when navigating Shanghai traffic. From the moment you step into the sky lobby on the 38th floor, you're greeted with astonishing panoramic views of the Shanghai skyline that simply take your breath away. The lobby bar serves incredible cocktails that are as beautifully crafted as the scenery behind them — there's nothing quite like sipping a perfectly mixed drink while watching the city lights sparkle below. While the hotel may not feel as ultra-modern as some of the newer properties in the city, it more than makes up for it with character and warmth. Everything is kept in pristine condition — you can tell the staff takes immense pride in maintaining this iconic property. The rooms are spotless, elegant, and comfortable, with that classic Marriott attention to detail. The breakfast was outstanding. The spread was generous and high-quality, but the real standout was the noodles cooked on demand — fresh, flavorful, and made exactly to your liking. It was the perfect way to start each morning. We also spent plenty of time at the swimming pools, which were a lovely retreat from the bustling city. Clean, well-maintained, and wonderfully relaxing. And I have to mention the sleep quality — the mattress and bedding were absolutely top-tier. After long days of exploring Shanghai, sinking into that bed felt like pure luxury.

Whether visiting Shanghai for tourism, business trips, anniversary celebrations, or art excursions, this is an irreplaceable first choice. Even after checking out, I can't stop thinking about it, and I will definitely visit again and highly recommend it to all my friends and family.

Hongqiao District Shanghai|7.13km from city center
This hotel, part of the Shanghai Jinjiang Group, boasts a charming and beautiful retro decor that evokes a strong sense of nostalgia. Its location is superb, right in the Hongqiao business district, with convenient access to subways and buses. There are many large shopping malls nearby, such as Super Brand Mall and Nanfeng City, and Jin Hongqiao shopping mall isn't far either. It's incredibly convenient for getting to Hongqiao Hub and the city center. Upon checking into our room, we noticed significant noise from the pipe shaft. After reporting this to the front desk, the kind gentleman, Fly Ding, patiently helped us coordinate a room change, ensuring our leisure time at the hotel was very comfortable. We'd like to extend our thanks again! When I was checking in, I happened to meet Client Manager Angela Qiu. She was assisting a foreign lady who frequently travels internationally. After the entire check-in process was completed, the lady highly praised Angela, commending her for her skilled operations, clear explanations, high efficiency, and fluent English. My own booking experience confirmed this. Client Manager Angela's professional abilities are truly outstanding, making her a standout performer. The hotel's room service is excellent and very attentive! One call and they're there to assist with anything you need. Special thanks to Ms. Ni from housekeeping. We accidentally spilled coffee on the floor in our room. Ms. Ni, who happened to be cleaning nearby, immediately came over and meticulously cleaned the area. Noticing our slight embarrassment, she also offered comforting words, handling the situation perfectly. As locals from Shanghai, we often try different hotels for leisure and relaxation. We've stayed at this hotel multiple times, and it's always on our list of choices.

The room was more spacious than it appeared in the photos. The executive room's grey-blue wallpaper, which isn't present in the standard rooms, matched the carpet color better. I stayed in an east-facing room, which offered a clear view of the Lujiazui 'three-piece suit' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers), and the actual view was even more impressive than in pictures. The breakfast at the executive lounge was excellent; both the buffet items and the made-to-order dishes were delicious. The afternoon tea selection was quite ordinary. A minor drawback was the absence of lunch service. The lobby on the first floor of the Jing An branch was a bit dark, and there were many people passing through from the mall. For executive floor guests, I recommend checking in directly at the lounge.

We had a very good stay at the Grand Kempinski Shanghai Hotel. The service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast had a good range of Western and Chinese food, as well as some Japanese dishes. There was also an ice cream station, which was a nice bonus. The hotel has a bar on one of the higher floors where you can enjoy a great view of the Oriental Pearl Tower. The gym is also nice and has a decent range of equipment. There is also a pool and spa massage on the same level as the gym. The location is very convenient. There are many food shops and restaurants within just a few minutes walk from the hotel. It is also close to popular attractions such as the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium and the Oriental Pearl Tower. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

My stay at The PuLi Hotel in Shanghai was absolutely fantastic! Located right next to Jing'an Temple in Jing'an District, the location is unbeatable. Reel Mall and Kerry Centre are just outside the door, and the entire upscale commercial hub of Nanjing West Road is within walking distance. It's packed with luxury brand stores and great malls to explore, creating a super chill shopping vibe. The guest rooms feature a subdued Oriental style, with dark wood tones paired with soft, warm lighting—calm, elegant, quiet, and spacious. The lighting and shadows through the shutters create an amazing ambiance. The service was warm and attentive; the staff were polite and prompt in their responses. The breakfast offered a combination of buffet and à la carte options, with fresh and exquisite ingredients. A true oasis of tranquility amidst the bustling city—this is definitely the place to stay in Shanghai!

The North Bund Area Shanghai|3km from city center
First off, the room decor is absolutely stunning, as it always is at W hotels. I've stayed at Ws in Xi'an, Macau, and Chengdu, and now Shanghai – their design aesthetic is consistently modern and really resonates with us Gen Z. The room layout and attention to detail are spot-on. They never disappoint when it comes to style. Secondly, I won't go into too much detail about cleanliness; W hotels consistently maintain high standards, so no issues there. Thirdly, the service was excellent. Any request I had was promptly considered and accommodated by the hotel. You feel the exceptional service from the moment you step into the hotel. Staff members are present from the luggage drop-off all the way to the elevator lobby, waiting to assist. Furthermore, the dining experience was fantastic. The breakfast at every W I've visited has been superb, truly top-notch. Finally, since it was our first time at the Shanghai W, the front desk even upgraded our room! I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in a 'Marvelous Suite'. The whole experience was absolutely brilliant. The only minor drawback was that the drinks and room setup included in the Ctrip package weren't prepared in advance, even though I had called a day earlier. If those details could also be taken care of beforehand, so you walk into a fully prepared room, then this would truly be a 10/10 experience.

The hotel's location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to the Bund, which allows you to visit late at night (around 10 PM) or early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Besides fruit, they also offered complimentary chocolates, which were delicious. The scallion oil noodles and crab shell pastries for breakfast were incredibly tasty; I'm still thinking about them. The cleanliness was also top-notch, and the environment was quiet, making for a very comfortable stay. Additionally, Elaine's service was very satisfying – she was responsive and provided help promptly.

The hotel has a very stylish overall decor, brand-new facilities, and an absolute killer view. Right outside is Suzhou Creek, and Zhapu Bridge offers arguably the best spot to view the city's ”Three-Piece Set” skyscrapers. A special shout-out to the hotel service—it is exceptionally thoughtful!! We stayed in connecting rooms with our 9-month-old baby, and the hotel provided a bed guardrail and a baby bathtub, which was a massive help for traveling with a little one! Every time we called the front desk for something, the response was prompt and thorough~ The housekeeping lady even gave us extra bottled water upon learning that we needed purified water to make formula; she was just so kind~ There was a singing bowl session at the spa on Saturday, and an introduction and invitation were placed in the room to promote it. Although we didn't end up going, we tried the facial and massage, which was super relaxing and comfortable—I fell asleep for an hour straight. My skin looked noticeably brighter and glowing after the brightening facial, and still felt baby-soft the next day. The only minor regret was that at the Jia Fu Yi Hao restaurant, one signature dish was sold out for the day, and the chef who makes another signature dish was on day off. However, the other dishes we ordered (forgot the names, see photos) were also delicious, especially the braised pork intestines, which were fragrant and flavorful. I'll definitely stay here again given the chance.

This was my baby's first trip to Shanghai, and we stayed at The St. Regis. We chose the St. Regis Suite for families, and I have to praise the attentive butler service. Frieda reserved a room with an amazing view for us, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows directly overlooking the Bund. She had already set up a small tent, a rocking horse, a whole box of picture books, and many dolls and toys. My child was absolutely thrilled, alternating between peeking at the cruise ships from the window and pointing out the tall buildings outside. The room also had welcome fruits and exquisite desserts. The butler even wrote a handwritten welcome letter for our little one. The handwriting was so warm; although my child can't read it yet, we'll keep it to read to him later. Before we left, they also customized exclusive luggage tags for us. Every detail showed how thoughtful and dedicated the service was. The hotel breakfast offered a wide variety of options, with diverse Chinese and Western choices, and the food was delicious. Overall, the experience was excellent.

It's very conveniently located near the International Exhibition Center, with plenty of great dining options nearby. The beds are super comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. The front desk staff are fantastic; they proactively offer toothbrushes and provide detailed explanations of the hotel's facilities. We were traveling with elderly family members, and Jessica in the lobby thoughtfully arranged a wheelchair to help them get around – so considerate!

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.25km from city center
The entrance to Park Hyatt Shanghai is a bit small, but even though it's been around for years, the design and decor are still impressive. Turndown service was a nice touch. Also, due to a change in my itinerary, I had booked for two days but only stayed one, and the hotel was very accommodating in assisting with the cancellation. A suggestion: Honestly, for a room rate of over 2000, the non-alcoholic drinks in the mini-bar should really be complimentary. It feels quite stingy, truly. There's only one power outlet on one side of the bed. And the most unexpected thing was that the rainforest shower didn't have hot enough water... This is truly unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber. Since it was already past midnight when I showered, I didn't bother contacting the hotel and just used the smaller showerhead. Also, why are the room number signs in the hallway so small???? Breakfast... a slight disappointment, but still acceptable.

She was quick to respond and proactively anticipated many details. The service didn't feel like a rigid, robotic routine; it was warm, thoughtful, and perfectly measured. The room was clean and comfortable, and the hardware quality was top-notch. The St. Regis butler service certainly lives up to its reputation. Tina is both professional and sincere, making the trip so much more pleasant. I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Shanghai. Highly recommended!

The accommodation experience is also very fresh and modern. You can walk straight down the road outside right to Korea Town, which is super convenient. The 2-meter king-size bed is ultra-comfortable and spacious enough for a family of three, so you don't have to worry about a child falling off the bed.

The room layout is very spacious, clean, and neat, plus there's a huge projection screen for watching movies. No matter if you're sitting or lying down, there are zero dead angles! Free popcorn, cola, and tea—just help yourself and enjoy! The hotel is a bit far from the main attractions, but we used Didi for all our travels, so it wasn't an issue at all. Alternatively, if you're up for it, you can rent a shared bike! The breakfast was also fantastic.

A special shout-out to John, the front desk supervisor, who called to offer an extra two hours when our stay was about to end – that was truly touching! The Novotel and Pullman in Qingpu are conveniently connected, offering different levels of service. Pullman's 'Yue Cafe' breakfast restaurant is grand and offers a wide variety of food, including authentic old Shanghai-style tofu pudding and red soup noodles. What's even more impressive is the meticulous service from the restaurant supervisor, Mia, who treats guests like family. This was a follow-up visit after my previous stay at Pullman, and both hotels maintain the same style and standard of service. They are definitely worth looking forward to. For those on a budget of 300-400, Novotel is a good choice, while Pullman is perfect for a 500-600 budget. These are the best hotels and restaurants in Qingpu. You won't regret coming here.

I chose this hotel because my family member was hospitalized nearby. The experience was terrible. The underground parking isn't managed by the hotel; it's run by property management, and guests have to pay 60 RMB per night for parking. This is the first time I've encountered such a ridiculous situation anywhere in the country! All the facilities were in poor condition, and the hygiene was particularly uncomfortable. There was dust everywhere, as if it had accumulated over several years, and the shower room was full of tiny flies and had a foul smell! I checked in at 10 PM and left at 6:30 AM! For this price, I felt it was completely not worth it! Extremely disappointed! The staff had no service awareness whatsoever; it felt like staying in an old-fashioned guesthouse.
