Frommer's "Not all guests may be willing to accept some of the hotel's design and functional quirks... and occasionally spotty service, but this "green" property has its heart in the right place." 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
