Frommer's "If post-industrial chic is your preferred style, consider staying at this newly opened boutique hotel lodged inside a 1930s warehouse near the Shiliupu Wharf." Full review

Be sure to request a room with a bath if that matters to you.
Concierge "The edgy, pared-back appeal of this former 1930s factory is exactly the draw for the modish, designer crowd that frequently books the 19-room boutique property."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"Singaporean design maestro... has skillfully captured the current zeitgeist of Shanghai by revamping a former army compound on the Huangpu River into an industrial but welcoming 19-room guesthouse." Full review
Time Out "The Waterhouse, a 1930s warehouse converted into a palace of industrial chic by local design superstars Neri & Hu, is possibly the coolest hotel in the city." Full review
BlackBook "While the rest of Shanghai pumps up the glamour, the Waterhouse at South Bund is smart to emphasize its low-key charm."
Travel + Leisure "Shanghai hotels tend toward the vertical and voluptuous, but one look at this austere lobby... and it’s clear the Waterhouse has broken the mold." Full review
Jetsetter "Warehouse turned minimalist marvel on the Bund draws cool creative types with its ultra-chic rooms and destination restaurant." Full review
Afar Magazine "The design blurs internal and external, public and private, with public spaces opening to glimpses of guest rooms, and accommodations looking onto public areas." 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"
