Fodor's "An oasis of calm in the center of bustling Shanghai, the PuLi Hotel & Spa is billed as an urban resort with an emphasis on soothing decor and relaxing amenities." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of Shanghai in a prime spot by Nanjing West Road in the Jingan District, the PuLi Hotel and Spa is known as the city's first urban resort." Full review
Time Out "Part boutique hotel, part spa, the PuLi opened in 2009 as Shanghai's first 'urban retreat'." Full review
BlackBook "Luxury hotel in the heart of JingAn District prides itself on offering the best "urban zen" experience in this bustlin' town."
Rough Guide "This attractive new hotel is coolly minimal, with a handsome library and spa attached. Rooms have wooden floors, grey slate walls and stylish if rather impractical sinks."

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
