Top Downtown Shanghai Hotel Reviews

Grand Hyatt Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in one of the tallest towers in the Shanghai Finance district and only a short walk to the nearest station (and one stop on the train to The Bund). Very impressive interior and an excellent breakfast. The only negative would be the price of some of the drinks in the various bars including a pot of tea for 468RMB."

Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"Very courteous and extremely helpful staff. Great location with the ferry close by and they offer shuttle service to the nearby subway station. The amenities such as the gym were very nice. Room was spacious and clean, and well kept by the housekeeping, including turn down service. "
