A vertical palace suspended above the Bund, where luxury is measured by the floor.
The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong
From
594.6 €
“Indoor pool at height, frontal view over the Bund and the Huangpu River.”
The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong occupies the upper floors of a glass tower in Lujiazui, Shanghai's financial district. We reach the rooms via rapid lifts, and the view shifts from floor to ceiling depending on the level. Light marble dominates the lobbies, lines are clean, the atmosphere stays hushed despite the height. The indoor pool overlooks the Bund and the Huangpu River, one of the few vantage points this direct onto the old colonial waterfront. The spa and fitness centre occupy a separate wing, calm even during the day. Expect 595 € a night for a standard room, a rate consistent with this level of service in Pudong. The real differentiator remains this wide view across both banks of Shanghai, rare at this price. 😌✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend this hotel to business travellers negotiating in the neighbouring towers of the IFC or at the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It is also an address for couples seeking a broad view over the Bund, without sacrificing the calm of a palace. Families find adapted rooms here, yet the atmosphere remains resolutely urban and professional.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong rises within the Shanghai IFC tower, one of Lujiazui's signature skyscrapers built at the turn of the 2010s. The lobbies play the card of light marble and generous ceiling heights, typical of contemporary Asian palaces. The rooms, located high in the tower, rely on wide picture windows rather than antique furniture. The whole remains sober, almost minimalist, far from the gilt of European palaces.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
The hotel offers an on-site restaurant as well as room service, yet no menu or signature chef is communicated in the available data. Breakfast and everyday dining follow the standard Ritz-Carlton level, without an identified gastronomic table to date. We recommend checking the culinary offering directly at the time of booking before basing the stay on this criterion.
