Frommer's "Opened in 2005, Shanghai's second Radisson hotel is a five-star outfit, but its service falls a little short of the service at top hotels in this category, such as the Westin and the JW Marriott." Full review
Fodor's "Though the hotel caters primarily to business travelers, the suites—with huge living rooms, kitchen/dining rooms, and spacious baths—are convenient for families." Full review

Lonely Planet "Classic elegance? No way, but the perch just north of People's Park is a highly prized plot."
Oyster Upscale
