Character and identity
Set on the Huangpu River, this 130-room hotel trades on its Bund-side position and the panorama it opens up: the Oriental Pearl Tower and Pudong skyline framed from guest-room windows, often from a tub set against the glass. The design register is contemporary and polished rather than heritage-Shanghai. Tops, the rooftop lounge, runs from cocktails and tapas into DJ-led late nights, while the three-floor spa, with an indoor pool and a pan-Asian treatment menu drawing on Chinese, Thai, Indian and Indonesian traditions, anchors the slower side of the property. Service leans sophisticated and quietly attentive.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and design-minded travellers who want the Pudong skyline as their nightly backdrop, plus a serious spa programme to decompress in after the city. Anyone drawn to the 150-minute Royal Banyan ritual, with its jade face massage and warm herbal-pouch sesame oil work, will get full value here.
Should look elsewhere:
Families looking for a kids' club, and travellers who want walkable immersion in Shanghai's old lanes and lilong neighbourhoods. The waterfront position is cinematic but more about the view than street-level wandering, and the rooftop scene skews adult.
Bottom line
The reason to book is the combination of skyline view and the three-floor spa, an unusually committed wellness footprint for a city hotel. Book a river-facing room with the tub at the window, plan one long treatment (the Royal Banyan rewards the time), and use Tops for at least one evening rather than heading out.
