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

"This "true gem" with 24-hour butler service is decorated in plum, chocolate, cream, and gold tones." Full review
Star Service "The Hongta is now part of Starwood Collection's sister grouping The Luxury Collection, but it maintains an equally high-end clientele as it did with the St. Regis." Full review
Time Out "Formerly known as The St. Regis Shanghai, a five star hotel which belongs to the main luxury brand of the international Starwood Hotels organisation." Full review
Lonely Planet "It’s not as hip as the Park Hyatt or as elegant as the Shangri-La, but many visitors to Shànghǎi – including the Ferrari Formula One team – rank this as the classiest joint in town."

Frommer's "Located a 5-minute walk from the Bund, the award-winning Westin offers large guest rooms headlined by Westin's patented Heavenly Bed." Full review
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
Time Out "The 559 rooms and suites are all plushly decorated and spacious, with even the smallest measuring up at 38sqm." 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."
Condé Nast Traveler "This 2002 property is built to resemble a throne, with two wings and an illuminated crown on top of the central tower." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Perched between the Bund and People’s Square, this 570-room hotel attracts a mixed clientele of corporate high rollers, Asian celebs, and global leisure seekers." Full review
