I booked this hotel just three hours before check-in, and when I arrived at Renaissance Shanghai Yu Garden Hotel on the Bund, it was freezing cold. I was initially worried that the lobby being on the 4th floor might be inconvenient, but actually, it turned out to be a plus—no wind during check-in, which made things so much more comfortable. After checking in, the front desk staff, Marry, kindly suggested adding her on WeChat for any assistance. I didn’t think much of it at first, but later realized how valuable that gesture was. My room on the 9th floor had an incredible view of the Oriental Pearl Tower, with plenty of space—perfect for my baby and me. We even ordered takeout and enjoyed a relaxed meal. The bathroom water pressure was outstanding—felt like a spa treatment. I’d been concerned about noise from the bathroom near the bed, but slept soundly both nights, so no worries there. The real game-changer came later: my airport transfer driver was running late, and I was panicking about missing my flight. I messaged Marry on WeChat (even though it was outside her working hours), and she quickly helped coordinate with the driver. Thanks to her quick action, I made it to the airport on time—truly a lifesaver. Also want to thank Manager Barbara and the tall 6-foot-2 server at the restaurant for their excellent service, as well as the friendly doorman in glasses who worked late shift. This stay exceeded all expectations—great location, top-tier service, and amazing value. I’ll definitely be back.
This trip to Shanghai was made even better by choosing Renaissance Shanghai Pudong Hotel—truly exceeded all expectations, and I’m giving it a full 10/10! A special shoutout to Lene at reception—her service was exceptional. She handled check-in quickly and efficiently, while also patiently answering our questions about local transport and nearby attractions. She even took the time to recommend hotel amenities and some top-rated restaurants nearby, always with a warm smile. That welcoming vibe made us feel instantly at home. The breakfast in the on-site Renaissance Café was an absolute highlight. With an impressive mix of Western and Asian options, we enjoyed everything from classic Benedict eggs and fresh croissants to local favorites like Jianbing, beef dumplings, and little wontons. There were even Indian-inspired dishes, plus a wide variety of fruits, desserts, and beverages—all freshly restocked and delicious. It truly catered to every taste. Our room was spacious, bright, and elegantly decorated, with excellent soundproofing and stunning views from the window. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and they offered multiple pillow types to suit different preferences—perfect for a good night’s sleep. The bathroom was thoughtfully designed with a separate shower area, premium toiletries, and well-maintained facilities. Location-wise, it's ideally situated near a metro station, just a short walk to Dingxiang International Mall and Century Park—great for shopping or relaxing. From front desk hospitality to dining quality and room comfort, every detail was spot-on. This is definitely my go-to choice for future visits to Shanghai.

Walking out of the metro station and turning the corner brings you right to the door—super convenient. The hotel is just steps away from Xujiahui Cathedral and Xujiahui Library, with luxury shopping hubs like Hongkong Plaza and Meiluo City nearby. If you're heading to Shanghai Stadium or Sports Arena for a concert, it's only one stop on the metro—or even easier, a short walk or bike ride away. This A.T.HOUSE property has that modern art vibe I love. The second-floor afternoon tea lounge and late-night dining spot are both stylish and inviting. The pastries are delicious, and the chicken soup wontons as well as the pork-filled dumplings are seriously satisfying. I was originally booked into a room type that wasn’t available yet, but the team kindly upgraded me to a Premium Suite—huge upgrade in space, view, and design. Everything felt thoughtfully curated. I ordered fresh fruit platters after my concert, and they arrived at my door in no time. The bedding was incredibly comfortable, and the service throughout was top-notch. Even at check-out, they handed me a lovely souvenir—a large record-shaped biscuit box that’s both cute and tasty. If there’s another concert in town, this will be my go-to hotel again.
My first trip to Shanghai this year was absolutely perfect, thanks to the recommendation from a friend who insisted I stay at The PuLi Hotel and Spa.

I’ve passed by this hotel countless times while commuting, always dreaming of staying here—and finally made it happen.

The property sits on nearly 60,000 square meters of private garden, making it feel like a hidden European estate right in the heart of bustling Shanghai. From the very first greeting, the service was exceptional—Esther from front desk went above and beyond: upgraded our room, offered a two-hour late check-out without hesitation, and even shared her WeChat for easy communication. That kind of personal touch is rare. Breakfast was an absolute highlight—huge variety, beautifully presented. From freshly steamed dim sum and handmade noodles to a wide selection of breads, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and even ice cream, every detail was thoughtfully curated. But what truly stole the show was the garden. Lush green lawns, mature trees casting dappled sunlight, historic buildings nestled among foliage—perfect for quiet strolls or Instagram-worthy shots. Every corner feels like a scene from a film. The pool is clean and refreshingly salty—almost like swimming in the sea! Plus, there are two hot tubs nearby, perfect for unwinding.
