Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Shanghai hotels

"great for the stopover I had, left my luggage at reception and spent the day in Shanghai, easy access to the metro and hugely convenient in the morning for my flight home. Staff were brilliant!"

"Comfortable"

"Room and fittings were a little dated and the amenities limited, particularly the elevators. However, the front desk and restaurant staff in the hotel were extremely polite, friendly and accommodating and the location was ideal for first-time visitors to Shanghai. "

"Clean room, friendly staff. "

"Yes"

"Very nice staff and service "

"We stayed as a couple at mandarin oriental and the ritz. The ritz was more than twice the price, however there was a different. The location is supreme, apart of IFC mall and above the lujiazui metro station. Also the views are supreme throughout the hotel. Breakfast was better, including the view from breakfast but also slightly more choices for food and drinks. The service was better in that there was English speaking staff in all parts of the hotel. Check in was very busy for new years so we didn’t get a tour of the hotel like usual, but check out was very good. Flair bar is exceptional. The negative is that it is expensive vs some of the other options, however the views and location make it worth it. Base king Room was nicer and bigger than the base king room at the mandarin oriental. "

"Stayed six nights in a Twin Star Suite and got a corner room with a fantastic view of the river and city. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast was excellent, with a wide range of options—from fresh pastries to a build-your-own congee station. We also received two complimentary laundry items per day, which was very convenient. Overall, it was a great stay, and I would highly recommend it to both first-time visitors and seasoned travelers."

"What can I add - it's the fabled Cathay Hotel (2.0), celebrating a bygone age with amazing staff, design, and service. Yes, it's pricey, but this is among the world's most interesting hotels and just staying there is an experience. It's beautiful and bold: more than a hotel, it's a worked example of everything travel should be. And because it's a recreation rather than the 1930s original, it's also modern and spotless, with old-school service like turn-down that just feels ... special. Hotels are usually just somewhere to sleep for me, but this one is far more. A wonderful place I'll always return to."
