Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund

No.2 Zhong Shan Dong Yi Road  Huang Pu District  Shanghai 200002  China

The drive from Pudong International Airport to the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund lasts just under an hour.

The two buildings juggle 257 rooms and suites. In the historic wing, a Victorian aesthetic comes through loud and clear, with four-post beds and claw-foot tubs. Of course, the in-mirror TV doesn’t date back quite so far. In the tower wing, furnishings are somewhat more modern, offering a refreshed view of classic styling. Enjoy marble bathrooms, and walk-in closets.

Six bars and restaurants appeal to all tastes, from the resurrected Long Bar, contemporary Grand Brasserie and elegant Salon de Ville, to the glittering Peacock Alley and NYC-inspired, Pelham’s.
