Shanghai Hotels with Bars

"Stayed here for 6 nights. Basically, it was like being right in the middle of a happening town! Love that there's delicious halal food nearby, beside Apple store (Pinhuiwei Muslim Northwestern Chinese)! The Bund is nearby, Adidas flagstore is there, Starbucks everywhere. Love the vibe here! Will I stay here again? Yes I will but Shanghai has to be the 1st stop in China because there's no self service laundry here. The only con in this trip, or else, it would have been perfect! Then I'll followed by Xi An then Beijing, as those two cities have free laundry! My last two days was the start of their May Day! The number of people walking through Nanjing Street was crazy, shown in photo! But, it was very orderly so everyone had a good time here!"

"Experience the charm of old Shanghai at this five-star hotel, which truly excels in attention to detail. I like to open windows for fresh air, and my initial room's window couldn't open. I contacted the front desk, and they promptly moved me to a new room. The room facilities are indeed quite dated; the toilet in the bathroom was surprisingly small, and I had to shower while standing in the bathtub. Despite that, my overall experience was positive. Every staff member I encountered was very polite, making me feel right at home."

"I recently stayed at Swiss Hotel in Shanghai, overall, I had a positive experience. The hotel is Situated in a central part of the city near some landmarks such as the Jing’an temple. There are cafes, malls and restaurants walking distance. The room and common areas were decent and tidy. My room 819 was spacious and well illuminated with a nice view. The hotel has a nice spa with steam room, sauna and jacuzzis and also a swimming pool. Gym is medium size well equipped. breakfast is included with Asians and western options. The internet connection was good in general."

"First off, the location is great. It's not too far to walk with luggage from Jing'an Temple Station on Metro Line 14, and it's just a block away from Huashan Hospital, which is really convenient. The common areas and breakfast are fantastic. The public space is huge and even has a pool table, feeling like an upgraded hostel. For breakfast, aside from the small noodle portions, the bread and congee were delicious. The only downsides are that the room is a bit small and the mattress is quite soft."

"Great location if you are heading for Disneyland or has an early flight to catch the next morning. Otherwise it is quite far from Shanghai city center - JingAn area- with no traffic - 45 min taxi ride) The hotel offers free shuttle to Disneyland which departs the hotel at 7:20am; and returns to the hotel at 10:20pm. It was a bit late for us since we finished watching the fireworks at 830pm. (Disneyland closes at 9:30pm ). So we just took a taxi (very few people waiting and cost ~RMB50; while the online car service costs ~R30 but the waiting area was very congested. The free shuttle to Putong airport departs on the hour and starts from 4 or 5am and takes less than 30min. Need to book one day in advance at the front desk. Our 3 persons family room has a double bed and a proper single bed( not fold up bed). Spacious enough for luggages. The negatives - we booked and paid for 3 persons - but hotel only offered breakfast for 2. We booked 2 nights but only has breakfast for one day. Strangest arrangement I have ever seen. BF - has reasonable options of Chinese and western cuisine . Noodle Bar was the best. Night snack- also has noodle bar with dumplings and congee."

"It’s a great hotel for a couple nights’ stay. Although it feels somewhat dated (it really shows in such a hi-tech city as Shanghai) and the public spaces are cramped (the gym gives claustrophobic vibes when there are more than 5 people in it), especially considering the size of the building and number of rooms - it may suit well for a conservative traveller, or if you have to stay in this particular area, or simply if you enjoy being among European/South American tourists (I got an impression that locals don’t stay here). In a nutshell, the location is unbeatable, the breakfasts were good (half of dishes were westernized), staff speaks English and is helpful, the view from my room was breathtaking, nights were quiet. Some fresh towels were still stained, tho. Not good."

"🌟 5 points are great ｜ Business trip party gospel! Shanghai Dashe lyf Hotel is too appetizing to me ✨ I came to Shanghai on a business trip and booked this one casually. It was originally convenient for transportation, but the result was a surprise. I really recommend it to friends on business or travel ～ The most satisfying thing is convenience! The surrounding traffic is very smooth. It is especially worry-free to commute to my office. There is no need to spend time on the road. The party on business trips really need this convenience. And the hotel is owned by Ascott, the style is very young, the walnut is with olive green, and some green plants are embellished. It is not dull. The lobby and corridors have a sense of design. It is good-looking and very aesthetic for our young people. Focus on boasting the room! The bedding is soft and the mattress is comfortable. You can relax and fall asleep after lying down every day. The sound insulation is also OK and will not be noisy. The most surprising thing is that the window can be opened. It has been raining in Shanghai for the past two days. I was worried that it would be stuffy. As a result, the window was opened for ventilation, and the damp feeling was much less. It was refreshing and relieved a lot of fatigue on business trips. There are actually three and a half meals of coffee in the room. I usually like to drink this very much. I just poke my kind of cattle and horses! The matching cups are also very simple, the value is online, I want to secretly take them back to the office, hahaha. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, the hot water comes quickly, the water flow is stable, the focus is on the shower, the water is particularly comfortable, after a busy day to take a hot bath, the fatigue is washed away, the details are really in place. The hotel also has an open leisure area. After busy work, sit for a while and have a cup of coffee, which is more comfortable than staying in the room, not so closed, which is a plus. The overall situation really exceeded expectations. Convenience, appearance, and comfort are all online. Even the small details of coffee and shower are on my heart. I will definitely choose this one next time I come to Shanghai for a business trip. I have already recommended it to my colleagues who travel frequently!"

"Had a great stay here. The environment was lovely, and I was even welcomed by a few birds when I checked in, which added a nice touch. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, with two pillow options provided, and the room felt cozy overall. The hotel is conveniently near the train station (~200m away), and the staff were very helpful in locating my parcels (Taobao) after a delivery was left in an unusual spot. They actually have a parcel delivery corner in this hotel :) Breakfast was decent, though it became a little repetitive over a 5-night stay, but there are also a few breakfast options nearby if you prefer eating outside. I would say 3-day hotel breakfast is sufficient unless I am in a hurry. Although the hotel name includes “Xintiandi,” it is actually around 1.5 km from the main Xintiandi area. Still, it is a good option if you prefer staying somewhere quieter while remaining close to public transport. I also enjoyed the nearby Lu One mall, which is worth checking out if you have time."

"This was my first time staying at this hotel, mainly because I had a conference at the exhibition center. It's conveniently located near the Hongqiao Road transportation hub, making subway access super easy. The hotel itself is decent, but it's quite close to the elevated highway, so the room noise was a bit of an issue. Everything else was fine though."

"This is an eager five-star review, starting with a special shout-out to Bernie and Grace at the Executive Lounge for their exceptional help and superb coffee! All the other staff were also very nice, and the desserts by the plump chef at breakfast were incredibly amazing. It was a perfect travel experience, full marks. Now for the specifics. From the check-in date, the experience was top-notch. For my 4-day trip, the front desk offered a room upgrade at the minimum extra cost, allowing my whole family to enjoy a full river view plus executive benefits throughout our stay. The rooftop swimming pool was fantastic; the water quality was perfect, and swimming naked at night didn't feel uncomfortable at all. My baby practically lived in the pool and executive lounge for several days. The breakfast was more Western-style, with unbeatable desserts. The ice cream and donuts were outstanding. The Executive Lounge is on the 28th floor, and lunch is à la carte. I highly recommend the foie gras and wagyu burger – absolutely fantastic. The beef was cooked to perfection, and the tenderness of the foie gras and beef complemented each other beautifully. For afternoon tea, there were various coffee options, and the cappuccino and iced latte I tried were both excellent. The light dinner in the evening was more than sufficient for a traveler; the creamy mushroom chicken stew, grilled sausages, and curry beef left a very deep impression. Finally, let's talk about the room and hotel environment. Kempinski perfectly replicated the essence of classic elegance. While the room facilities might seem a bit dated, the hotel redefined luxury with its tangible comfort. The room temperature was always just right, and the experience with personal garments, towels, and bedding made you unconsciously indulge in the luxury. Even the blankets by the pool were warm, truly embodying the idea of 'warm service.' Lastly, to pick a bone, I'll offer some limited suggestions as a guest: Firstly, with the economic downturn, family travel will gradually become mainstream. Breakfast could add some kid-friendly items like smiley potato fries, ketchup, and bolognese pasta, which wouldn't significantly increase costs. Secondly, the glass needs cleaning, especially the panoramic glass at the pool, as it affects the view. I can't come up with a third point because the experience was truly excellent. I hope they continue their efforts. As a long-established luxury hotel in the 'center of the universe,' it needs to uphold not only its style and culture but also persistent passion and warmth. I will definitely visit again. (The ice cream wasn't replenished; it was photographed after closing, which shows how popular it is!)"
