Love the bar and how it sweeps you back to Shanghai of the 20s. Great cocktails . Brunch and afternoon tea are musts as well . Perfect wedding venue as well and had the pleasure of attending

Most of the Waldorf's 260 rooms are located in the newly built 24-story tower. Many deliver clear views of Lujiazui’s skyscraper forest . Its historic Long Bar mixes some of the city ’s best cocktails . Read more

Architecture is stunning, rooms are faultless. Breakfast is one of the best ever. Bund entrance needs refurb and the long bar should stick to what it does well (no 70s music ).

Anne Åsen

Beautiful hotel with amazing service at the best location on the Bund. The afternoon tea is an absolute must, both while staying there or if you are at the Bund.

Zoe

Beautiful hotel . Love the long bar , great cocktails and jazz . Maybe my fave bar in shanghai. Singapore sling in the peace hotel is better though that may be the best sling in the world

Mike Hong

Experience the old Shanghai luxury on the bund. Breakfast , lunch & dinner are all good. Highly recommend dinner in Grand Brasserie and order the steak as signature.

John The Bastard

If they offer to upgrade you to a junior suite , decline. All the junior suites face away from the Bund. Ask for a river view instead.

M. B.

Loved the hotel . Great service. Great staff . Great breakfast and great coffee is served there. However, in-room dining is not appealing.

Leirda

Get a suite on the bund-facing old wing and enjoy the view as the boats float by in the evening. Make sure you see it before the building lights go off! (Ask the concierge as it varies seasonally!)

Matt Boddy

Absolutely premium service with the private checkin in the room. Perfect views . Amazing brunches . Great staff .

Jany Wang

Loved almost everything here - the long bar , the Pelhem and the afternoon tea

Condé Nast Traveler

During an afternoon tea of delicate red velvet cakes served in the elegant Salon de Ville, watch newly minted Shanghainese millionaires reimagining themselves as the tycoons of yore.

Beautiful hotel. If you want step back in time and experience faded grory, it is a great hotel. breakfast is the best. 전통이 있는 호텔답게 멋진 호텔입니다. 개인적으로 하얏트보다 나은것 같습니다. 멋진전망 맛있는 조식도 빼놓을 수 없죠.

josephine kim

룸도 꽤 만족스럽고 비치된 용품들도 참 맘에 들어요. 게다가 조식이 훌륭합니다. 맞은편 동방명주까지 한눈에 다 들어오는 전망을 가진 방이 좋아요!!

Alan x el mundo

Pidan habitación con vista al río , lo vale!

Paula Freire

Viemos aqui só pra ir ao Long Bar , mas usamos o serviço do concierge para pegarmos um táxi . Muito bom!
