Dinner by the Huangpu River

The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong is truly the ultimate spot for Bund night views🌃! Every time I visit Shanghai, I can't resist staying here. The hotel faces the Oriental Pearl Tower directly, and you can enjoy the Bund light show right from your bed—absolutely breathtaking! ✨Top 1 skyline hotel Located in the IFC Mall in Lujiazui, with direct access via Metro Line 2, it's super convenient to get to the Bund and Nanjing East Road. The 58th-floor sky lobby will amaze you the moment you step in, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the Huangpu River like a painting. 🛏️Room experience • We stayed in the Pearl River View Room, where both the bathtub and bed face the Oriental Pearl Tower. The moment the Bund lights up at night while you're soaking in the tub is simply mesmerizing. • The bedding is 600-thread-count Frette, and the hotel-provided silk pajamas make it hard to get out of bed. • The bathroom is stocked with Asprey's Purple Water collection, and the vintage-style packaging makes for great photos. 📸Photo guide 1️⃣Flair Rooftop Bar on the 58th floor: Order a "Shanghai Mist" cocktail and capture silhouettes against the Lujiazui skyline during blue hour. 2️⃣52nd-floor infinity pool: Frame the pool with the Oriental Pearl Tower in the background—white swimwear works best for photos. 3️⃣In-room bathtub: Scatter rose petals and use a wide-angle lens for Instagram-worthy shots. 🍽️Must-try for foodies • Breakfast on the 52nd floor: The eggs Benedict and freshly baked croissants are divine. • Don't miss the honey-glazed ham at Jin Xuan Chinese Restaurant—book a window seat in advance for night views. • Afternoon tea in the lobby lounge (the scones are better than the Peninsula's, trust me). 💎Hidden perks • Club-level guests enjoy all-day dining at the 58th-floor lounge. • A complimentary Ritz-Carlton lion plush is given upon check-in (collecting different colors is addictive). • The concierge can help book Michelin restaurants and luxury car tours. ⚠️Tips: • For river-view rooms, request "high floor facing the Pearl Tower" to avoid lower-floor obstructions. • Weekends book up fast—reserve at least a month in advance. • When taking a taxi, specify "Ritz-Carlton at IFC Mall" to avoid confusion with the Puxi location. Staying here will make you fall in love with Shanghai—the magical skyline never gets old! Don’t forget to get a souvenir stamp at the front desk before you leave✨
