Hotels near Montblanc (SHANGHAI IFC), Shanghai

Stayed in Shanghai for work for 2 days in July 2024, hotel check in is located at 54th-ish floor of the building, with a nice waiting area, overseeing the Shanghai city. As the hotel is quite sizable, check in area could get a little crowded at times. Room was located on 81st floor of the hotel, and shortly after I stepped out the elevator - WOW. Timeless spiral design. Had to take some photos there and was worried I might drop my phone LOL. Once I stepped in my room, just another WOW. Overseeing the Shanghai city and was able to see the sunrise the next morning. The room itself is big and comfy. Booked a room with club access, which is located on 83rd floor and serves breakfast / afternoon tea. Quite surprised most of the guests were up early. It opens at 6:30am and by 7am, it was mostly occupied, luckily I went there early and able to grab a nice spot looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower. The hotel is located in the middle of where all the financial institutions’ head offices are, but it isn’t exactly near to the city where all the markets area. Highly recommend for people coming here for work, but may not as much for tourism.

👍🏼: The hotel is conveniently located, with good proximity to financial district and other attractions such as the Oriental Pearl Tower, Ocean Aquarium and Lujiazui metro station. 👎🏼: The hotel is considered relatively old as the facilities and furnitures are showing signs of wear and tear. There were visible stains on the pillow cases, but the sketchy housekeeper(s) changed the orientation of the pillows. The cleanliness of the room can be further improved.

My stay at the Mandarin Oriental Pudong Hotel was exceptional, from the service to the dining and facilities. Breakfast was abundant and well-prepared, with a wide selection of options, including fresh juices and warm, freshly baked bread that made for a perfect start to the day. Accommodation services were flawless. I want to extend special thanks to Ms. Alaia for her attentive care, which made my stay even better. The staff were friendly and detail-oriented, ensuring I felt at home. The room was spotless, the bed comfortable, and the thoughtful pillow service ensured a good night's sleep. The hotel’s facilities were top-notch, including a well-equipped gym and a pristine swimming pool. The business amenities were also excellent, making it convenient for work. Overall, my experience at the Mandarin Oriental was superb, and I highly recommend it for both leisure and business stays.

Hotel was right next to a train station and there were lots of rental bikes available. Location is just a few junctions down from the city park, and just two or three stations away from shopping/historic districts. The hotel was really into promoting sustainability and culture, with their in-house tea and coffee varieties + recycling separation. Cleaning was always prompt. Room was v spacious, and even came with a desk for working. There were also game, golf and library facilities but didn't have time to check out those. Staff were v helpful esp upon check-in when I was trying to connect to their WiFi. I didn't have a Chinese mobile number so the staff helped to settle it with their in-house phone. Staff also assured that they were available 24/7 even though it was getting late.

Really nice hotel. Great location and near a lot of attractions. I found value in staying here due to the convenience of near by attractions but I chose to eat outside of the hotel because the prices are high. The bar drinks were not good and made with very little alcohol and far too much ice. High price as well. There happened to be some famous actor staying at the hotel and security blocked access to a couple floors so I couldn't access the elevator to get to my room after check in so that was really annoying. Eventually I was able to get to the room and it was nice. Comfortable bed and nice bathroom. A bit small but nice none the less.

We appreciate the hotel for allowing us to change and shorten our stay. They are very kind. For the price, the place will appeal to travellers prioritising location. We feel that the place may not be suitable for the needs of family travellers with young children. The room has many wardrobes space but lacked the walking space and the toilet and bathroom space is very tight. The room windows can see the back of another building with many rubbish dumps.

Hotel stay was really nice and clean. We enjoyed our stay and thought it was well worth the price. The only downside is that our room smelled a little bit like someone had smoked in it but it wasn’t a big deal. The location also isn’t super central, but we hadn’t explored the northern part of Shanghai before so it was cool to see. There is a really good noodle place like a 15 min walk from the hotel. There is also an underground market at one of the stations for line 10 close by. Underrated area in my opinion!

Bvlgari Unable to travel over the festive season, I decided to treat myself to a few days in a local hotel. What other choice was there, other than the Bvlgari? Prior to my arrival I received a call from the hotel. They confirmed my arrival time, made dinner reservations for me, added me to WeChat and offered me any other help that I required. Upon arrival I was greeted by Eva. She checked me in and immediately offered me a late check out time of 14:00. This was extended further on the final day to 16:00. Fantastic! More time to relax by the pool and in the sauna. Having checked me in, Eva gave me a tour of the property. The Bvlgari is stunning!From the stylish restoration of the Chamber of Commerce building to the sleek, modern interior of the main building. The Bvlgari is located in an excellent position by Suzhou Creek. It offers dazzling views of Lujiazui , the Huangpu River and the rear of The Bund. Perhaps one of the best views in the city. Of course, the room was magnificent. Huge TV, super comfortable bed, walk-in wardrobe and a wide selection of drinks and snacks, most of which were complimentary. I especially thought the pillow mist was a nice touch. In addition to the welcome snacks, Eva brought me a desert from their little cabin outside. A delicious Italian, vanilla donut- like desert. Good job I didn’t have lunch that day. I dined at both the Italian and Chinese restaurants. Both of which offer amazing food. The Italian presents simplistic fare with the emphasis on fresh ingredients. The vegetable broth and specialty bread is to die for. The Chinese restaurant offers high quality Cantonese food and an alternative wine selection to that in the main building. The sommelier suggested a great wine pairing for the meal and also provided a complimentary glass of champagne and a coffee liqueur before escorting back to the hotel. Le Mer products are used in the spa! Yes, this is fantastic. My therapist, Daisy, had me in the state of being between consciousness and unconsciousness many times during the course of my treatment. Just what I was looking for. The staff at the Bvlgari are excellent. Young, professional and obviously well trained, evident through their subject knowledge and warm hearted service. All the staff consistently addressed me by name and ensured that my stay was perfect. Whilst at the bar, one of the girls presumed I was asking for the bill, when actually I was asking for another drink. I left to visit the WC and returned to find a note apologizing for her misunderstanding of English accompanying a complimentary desert with my drink. That was amazing! Thank you, Elsker. It’s often the small things that make a difference. Whilst walking to my room one of the room attendants was vacuuming the carpet. She abruptly stopped and waited for me to pass. Whilst at the pool, I headed towards the jacuzzi. Some of the staff appeared to be fixing or checking something, but they swiftly disappeared as I emerged. Upon checkout, Eva was waiting for me with a gift bag containing chocolates. This was in addition to the luggage tags and toiletries that were gifted by the turn down service the previous night. Eva called me a car to take me home. Whilst I waited she filled my gift bag with sweets from the huge jars of confectionery in the lobby. As the doorman approached to let me know my car had arrived, he also presented a small gift of Bvlgari toiletry products. What an amazing experience.! Truly remarkable. I will definitely return and I’ll be adding locations in Paris, London, Bali and Milan to my list of places to visit. Thank you to the entire Bvlgari team. From those excellent customer facing members of staff to those who are behind the scenes and make things run so well. You all do a fantastic job and I wish you all the greatest success on the future. If you get a chance, visit the Bvlgari.

Room clean but a bit inconvenient to carry the luggage to upstairs. The response from owner very well.easy to be contacted by using WeChat. I want to complain the kettle not so well to be used, she instantly give me a new one and 12 bottles of water. Thanks. Only not so good for me who like to order delivery of food. During night, it’s inconvenient to be delivered

Best hotel ever I have been. Food was the best. And location very good. Near the Laya plaza where you can shopping as well.
