Somewould argue it’s better to look
at
the
Bund, rather than the opposite outlook of
Pudong’s futuristic buildings. The 950-
roomShangri-Lawas Pudong’s first luxury
hotel and sits comfortably in Shanghai’s
top 10 hotels according to TripAdvisor.
ROOM
Request a river-view room for
a priceless outlook of The Bund; it’s
stunning enough by day, but really
comes into its own when lit up at night.
The rooms are elegant with subtle
Oriental touches in the wallpaper and
art, complemented by crystal chandeliers
and marble bathrooms. Horizon Club
guests enjoy L’Occitane toiletries in
their rooms, plus 24-hour access and
complimentary services at the Horizon
Club Lounge on the 32nd floor.
RESTAURANTS
There are 11 restaurants
and bars in the Pudong Shangri-La,
including Japanese and Chinese
eateries, a wine bistro and Jade on 36,
the signature restaurant and bar. Yi Café
features 10 lively show kitchens and
a cosmopolitan food selection for the
huge buffet breakfast (there’s even a
map, it’s so big) – don’t miss it.
RECREATION
Alongside the award-
winning spa, CHI, there are two
swimming pools, two health clubs and
an outdoor floodlit tennis court.
RATING
The promise of high tea in the
Lobby Lounge, an elegant Michelin-
star dining experience, or a long hot
bath, makes the Shangri-La a welcome
respite from the frenetic pace of a city
that doesn’t sleep.
