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
