BlackBook "As much as Shanghai has become a nerve center of freewheeling high finance, the Andaz is expecting its guests to get in lots of play time."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"The luxurious Andaz Shanghai is located in the glitzy Xintiandi district... but maintains a boutique feel with a casual yet buzzy atmosphere and approachable service." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "A super-chic 28-story hotel with 307 rooms, across the street from the Xintiandi shopping and eating hub." Full review
Jetsetter "Hip hotel in a historic ’hood, with an LED-lit pool, an all-day bistro and downtown views from jigsaw-cut windows." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A contemporary hotel with a youthful feel in downtown Shanghai, it's a stone's throw away from the shopping mecca of Huaihai Road and the peaceful, yet disappearing, Shikumen communities." Full review
Afar Magazine "Features 307 rooms with wood floors, boldly upholstered walls, and what Andaz calls DigiValets—iPads that control room functions such as lighting, temperature, and curtains." Full review
Fodor's "This stylish boutique hotel offers the usual Andaz freebies like tea and coffee in the reception and free soft drinks and snacks in the minibar." Full review
Frommer's "The location is perfect for experiencing the city, as you’ll sleep in a little urban retreat but step right outside into the bustling Xintiandi development." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Housed in one of the twin skyscrapers just north of Xīntiāndì, Andaz (meaning ‘personal style’ in Hindi) is among the latest luxury hotels to open in the French Concession." Full review
Michelin Guide "The rooms are gorgeous...an extremely well-equipped gym, spa and pool will keep you in fine trim, but it’s the restaurant, bar and lounge that you’ll want to show off." Full review

Fodor's "The pièce de résistance of the 24-story Hotel InterContinental Pudong is a nearly 200-foot-high Italian Renaissance–inspired atrium, decorated with red Chinese lanterns." Full review
Lonely Planet "The former Asia Thompson, in the heart of Pǔdōng near the Nextage department store, has a spectacular atrium and decent facilities." Full review
Star Service "Located 40 minutes from the Pudong airport, this hotel is in Lujiazui, the New Shanghai Commercial City, an area designed as a launch pad for new businesses." Full review
i
Make sure to ask for a newly renovated guest room, as some of the older units are showing their age.
Time Out "Within easy reach of three different metro stations and spread over a modest (in Pudong terms) 24 floors, the InterContinental scores bonus points for friendly, accommodating front of house staff." Full review
Afar Magazine "Inside, the soaring atrium lobby creates a sense of openness, while contemporary rooms come in light, calm tones; select accommodations come with a sunken tub in the bathroom." Full review
