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

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

Concierge "This twin-towered property doesn't get the 'Grand' title because there's already a Grand Hyatt nearby, however it's certainly of Grand Hyatt standard, but with a more contemporary deluxe style."
Fodor's "Near the banks of Suzhou Creek, the Hyatt on the Bund offers beautifully appointed rooms in an airy and modern building." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Grab drinks at Vue Bar, on the top floor, for sweeping views of both Pudong and the Bund." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler83.2
""Within walking distance of the Bund," this geometric tower with a pointed apex has "spacious, elegant" rooms—makore-wood panels, silk-textured wallpaper, jade-colored ceramics." Full review
Star Service "At the far end of Shanghai's waterfront stretch known as The Bund, this sparkling high-rise hotel is the second Shanghai property from Hyatt and the first on the Puxi side of the Huangpu River." Full review

Alternatively, some may choose to split their time in Shanghai between the two, and such packages are conveniently available.
Time Out "With its position in southern Hongkou district, Hyatt on the Bund boasts stunning views south to the Bund and Pudong, especially from Vue Bar on the 32nd floor." Full review
BlackBook "The vast lobby feels a bit like walking into a merchant bank HQ, but the rooms are well-equipped and offer superlative views."
The Telegraph8.0
"Built as a Grand Hyatt but ultimately given a unique (and not quite accurate) title, this buzzy twin-towered hotel offers 620 contemporary rooms 'not far from the Bund'." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Designed by in-demand Japanese firm Super Potato, Hyatt on the Bund's top-floor lounge bar is exotically styled as an upscale vineyard. Dressed in blond woods, bare bricks, and neon-lit..." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Relax in bed and enjoy the views of Shanghai's incredible skyline and the Bund from the floor-to-ceiling windows...step outside the hotel's front doors to go for a stroll along the Huangpu River"
