TOP 1 – Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB2000
Editor score: 4.9 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
What a Comfortable and romantic hotel bed! Staff friendly! Intimate gift champagne, sugar, chocolate, fruit, afternoon snacks, evening turndown service before going to bed! Like the kind of home! Large bathroom with separate dressing room! A la carte services is delicious! I super love the hotel! But the two-cloth, easy to slide, bathtub next to no handrails, bath up is not easy.
TOP 2 – JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB1880
Editor score: 4.7 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
Great facilities and super location. The services were very good. Just near the People’s Square, easy for shopping! The hotel staff were passional and considerate enough! But it’s very unreasonable that its parking lot charges.
TOP 3 – The Peninsula Shanghai
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB 1800
Editor score: 4.9 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
The quiet, privacy, good transport facilities to go out. Free airport transfers and unlimited laundry Ironing Shoe Shine, and laundry very quickly, basically three or four hours to wash. check out is very fast. There are separate locker rooms, dressing table. But most of the staffs are lack of smile, only housekeeper and bell boy say good morning with smile, poor service for F&B staff, no one welcome us, no greetings when we walked into the restaurant for breakfast and no smile at all during the whole breakfast time, very disappointed. we do expect wonderful service from such branded hotel……
TOP 4 – Pudong Shangri-la Shanghai
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB 1750
Editor score: 4.7 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
The best buffet in the city is right here in the Shangri-La. The selection is astounding and the quality top notch, makes for an incredibly delectable experience. you can easily access the subway and get to where you want to go for cheap and relatively quick.There is a “tourist tunnel” that also takes you across the river to Puxi. the Shanghai aquarium is pretty new and nice is a 5-minute cab ride away, and there are a couple other museums right there.The only hiccup I experienced is when I quoted the advertised rate for a room on the internet and the front desk attendant did not initially want to lower the walk-in rate to the advertised rate. And the subway station is a little bit further.
TOP 5 – Grand Hyatt Shanghai
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB1700
Editor score: 4.7 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
Experience was awesome. Staffs were extraordinary. the hotel stay was a fantastic. Breakfast was fantastic. the real highlight is the bar at the top of the tower. But TV is very old, living in the room phone signal is poor, it may be too high! Check out some of the speed is slow.
TOP 6 – The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB1700
Editor score: 4.7 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
Big bathroom is very much appreciated, LCD TV and DVD made it all to easy to stay in at night.Had a very good cheap breakfast at the Element Fresh in Shanghai Center and there is a great French bakery/cafe Paul with some of the finest French pastries I’ve had outside of Paris.staying in a hotel parking fee to charge 30 per hour, a little can not accept, the car stopped for four hours, and received 120, the car will move about the money, many other five-star Shanghai hotel parking are free.
TOP 7 – The PuLi Hotel and Spa
Editor rate (per night) : From RMB1680
Editor score: 4.8 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)
the surroundings were peaceful，and outside is the bustling city downtown area. the hotel boasts a complete range of facilities, also it offers coffee machines and free mini-bar (including 8 free bottled water). this hotel offers excellent spa services. But there aren’t many shops around, not very convenient.

The hotel is conveniently located right on the Bund near Nanjing East/West Road, near shopping, restaurants. the heart of Shanghai. The hotel has been newly renovated.the restaurants are overpriced.
