Frommer's "The handsome St. Regis might well be the luxury hotel at which to stay in town were it not for its less-convenient location in Pudong." Full review
Concierge "The 328-room St. Regis has sizable sleeping quarters that are just about as grand as the sweeping, ballroomlike check-in area."
Travel + Leisure "328 rooms (which are some of the largest in the city) with Chinese art and ceramics; hotel butlers are trained as both city guides and translators." Full review
