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

Time Out "This hotel's trump card is its location. Handily situated on Nanjing Xi Lu, bang next to People's Square, it's a mere step away from the metro and a vast array of shops." Full review
Rough Guide "A new and swish venue that has quickly become popular, offering a convenient location right at the corner of bustling Nanjing Lu, and, in general, a slick upscale experience."
Lonely Planet "Classic elegance? No way, but the perch just north of People's Park is a highly prized plot."
Oyster Upscale
"In the heart of Shanghai, right by People's Park, Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World is a towering upscale property with 520 rooms." Full review

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

"Gazing out onto supreme views of Pudong or into the crisp courtyard, the Waterhouse’s rooms are perfection itself. " Full review
