Hotels With Pools in Shanghai, China

This time, when I brought my child to Shanghai for a trip, I still chose the Crowne Plaza Shanghai Nanjing Road. After a tiring full day at Disneyland, we arrived at the hotel and were grateful for the room upgrade to a suite. After checking out, we realized we had left a bag behind. A big thank you to staff member #066 who helped us find it and even arranged for it to be couriered home. The service here is absolutely amazing! Thank you very much! ❤️❤️

The owners are incredibly warm and welcoming! We arrived early, and they even managed to get a room ready for us for an early check-in. They also offer a Disney shuttle service, which is super convenient. You can order takeout here too. The environment is lovely and exceptionally clean – you can run your hand over the bed frame and find no dust at all. The room practically looks identical to the pictures. Highly recommend!

Our first trip to Shanghai with my wife and child was a wonderful experience. The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for our family. The breakfast selection was also excellent, with a good variety of choices each morning. What truly made our stay exceptional was Jackie. She provided outstanding service and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and at ease. We were especially grateful for her kindness and support when our child fell ill. Her genuine care, attentiveness, and professionalism made a difficult situation much easier for us. Thank you, Jackie, and the entire team, for the warm hospitality. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again.

I had such a wonderful stay at this hotel and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The complimentary airport transfer and free Disney shuttle made our trip so convenient and stress-free. Our themed room was spotless, beautifully decorated, and made our stay even more memorable. A special thank you to the incredibly kind staff who surprised us with a complimentary room upgrade. Their warmth and hospitality truly made us feel valued. The hotel also provides so many thoughtful amenities for families with children, including anti-slip bathroom slippers for both adults and kids, plenty of hangers, numerous power outlets, complimentary bottled water, and a lovely swimming pool. Every little detail reflected how much the hotel cares about its guests' comfort. We left with wonderful memories and would definitely love to stay here again!

Staying at Shangri-La Shanghai was exactly what a city escape should feel like: luxurious without being fussy, courteous without feeling formal. We were on the 25th floor, and the view of the river was the best part of the day — morning light on the Huangpu, the skyline stretching out, and at night the Pearl Tower glowing just down the road. It’s quiet up there, real tranquility despite being so close to all the tourist attractions. The comfort carried through everywhere: the indoor pool and jacuzzi were perfect for unwinding, the gym had everything we needed, and the grand lobby is lined with high-end stores if you feel like browsing. But the thing we’ll remember most is the afternoons — tea time in the lobby with a live folk music performance drifting through the space. It turns the whole lobby into something calm and beautiful. Courteous staff, comfortable rooms, and a location that puts you right in the heart of Shanghai. We’ll be back.

I booked this hotel because I saw it had a hot spring near Disney, but whether the hotel's pool is actually a hot spring, I won't even mention at this price point. Can you believe they require you to bathe naked? From the moment you enter the hot spring area, you can't wear clothes. Even if we had swimsuits on, we were told to take them off. My kids were so embarrassed; we just tried to avoid eye contact with each other and other people. Then, at the water park, they require swim caps. It's the same kind of hot spring pool, but there you need a swim cap, and they charge between 20-40 yuan for one on-site. Luckily, we could order one for delivery. It's also baffling that you have to take off your shoes and go barefoot inside. The marble floors are hard and uncomfortable, and the hotel doesn't even provide slippers. The room itself felt like an old, run-down motel, and there were yellow stains on the sheets. When we checked out, the cleaning cart only had used towels; I didn't see any clean sheets or duvet covers being replaced. Many good reviews seem to be for the massage therapists. I guess it's a place for people catching late-night flights from Pudong Airport to have a soak and stay overnight, as there's plenty of empty space to crash. But for families looking for a hot spring experience after Disney, forget it. It's empty everywhere with hardly any facilities. They charge an extra 80 yuan for children under 13, and even for the small pool with a few plastic fish for kids to 'fish' in, it's an additional 28 yuan per person. We won't be coming back.

The 270-degree panoramic room at the Executive Lounge offers breathtaking views, allowing you to see the Oriental Pearl Tower and the winding Huangpu River right from your bed. The experience is fantastic, with both daytime and nighttime views offering unique beauty. All the staff at the Executive Lounge are incredibly friendly and helpful. The Executive Lounge itself boasts a first-class environment, service, and unparalleled views. Eleni, one of the front desk ladies at the Executive Lounge, provided attentive and patient service, and another kind young man enthusiastically helped deliver the room key. Many thanks to both of them. Breakfast on the 56th floor is lavish, and the window seats are delightful, letting you enjoy the scenery while you eat. A perfect holiday experience!

I can't believe the B&B I randomly picked for my trip turned out to be so amazing! It was such a pleasant surprise and definitely an unexpected highlight of my journey. At first, I was a bit worried about it being newly renovated, fearing weird smells or formaldehyde, but there was absolutely no new-renovation smell when I arrived. The room and the entire place were incredibly clean, the bedding was super comfortable with no strange odors, and the room decor was very cozy. Before coming, I was also concerned about transportation since it's in a village, but it turns out I worried for nothing. The B&B owner is incredibly warm and thoughtful. They not only arrange shuttle services to Disneyland but also to the subway station. Late at night, they even come out to pick us up, concerned for our safety. Seriously, the experience was top-notch! Next time I visit, I'm definitely bringing my girlfriends here. I really want to check out the pool and take some photos there. I honestly recommend this place to all the ladies out there looking for a great experience!

This hotel is located on Changshou Road, within walking distance of Metro Lines 7 and 13, making it convenient to get to Jing'an Temple and the Bund. There's a wide variety of dining options nearby. The rooms are business-chic and spacious, with a separate wet and dry area in the bathroom and Australian toiletries. High-floor rooms offer excellent views. Public facilities include an outdoor pool and a gym. The breakfast spread is extensive, and there's a Thai restaurant and a Western restaurant on-site. The concierge and room service are attentive, though there can sometimes be a wait at the front desk during check-in. A downside is that room access is restricted to your floor, and parking is charged. Overall, the value for money is upper-middle among five-star hotels in the city, making it suitable for business travelers.

So happy with our stay! It's a B&B, and the room was quite spacious and clean. They even offer morning and evening shuttle services to Disneyland. The best part was definitely their little 'canteen'! There were aunties and uncles cooking up meals. We were exhausted coming back from Disneyland in the evening, so we ordered some spare ribs, shrimp, and greens. Eating hot, delicious food at past 9 PM was just wonderful (it really tasted like home-cooked food, something I could even make myself, haha!). For 120 yuan in total, it felt like a great deal. So, so happy!
