Radisson Collection Hyland Shanghai

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was well maintained, with friendly staff, in a great location near the Bund. There was a variety of options for breakfast we had included (Asian and Western), and the lounge access we included was pleasant with friendly staff who remembered our preferences.
