Concierge "Popular with travelers on an expense account, this centrally located hotel—part of the office-heavy Bund Center—is just a short walk from the swish restaurants and nightlife of the Bund."
Fodor's "With its distinctive room layouts, glittering glass staircase, and 90-plus works of art on display, the Westin Shanghai is a masterpiece near the majestic Bund." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The Westin's lotus-topped tower is a Shanghai landmark in the heart of downtown shopping."
Star Service "Visible throughout Shanghai's historic waterfront known as The Bund thanks to its elaborate art-deco-inspired rooftop design, this hotel actually consists of three towers." Full review

BlackBook "Rather quirky five-star hotel strategically sandwiched between People’s Square and The Bund."
Rough Guide "Chinese luxury hotels usually try to impress with either a water feature or palm trees in the lobby; the over-the-top Westin goes for both."

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

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
