"It’s clear that this is the sort of luxury hotel that worries about intangibles like atmosphere just as much as it does about thread count or square footage." Full review

Gayot "Standing tall above the shores of the Huangpu River, this hotel was inspired by the Art Deco period when Shanghai was known as Paris of the East."

"The interiors, in what has become something of an Andaz trademark, manage to be highly inventive yet totally classic at the same time." Full review
BlackBook "As much as Shanghai has become a nerve center of freewheeling high finance, the Andaz is expecting its guests to get in lots of play time."
Condé Nast Traveler "A super-chic 28-story hotel with 307 rooms, across the street from the Xintiandi shopping and eating hub." Full review
Jetsetter "Hip hotel in a historic ’hood, with an LED-lit pool, an all-day bistro and downtown views from jigsaw-cut windows." Full review
Travel + Leisure "A contemporary hotel with a youthful feel in downtown Shanghai, it's a stone's throw away from the shopping mecca of Huaihai Road and the peaceful, yet disappearing, Shikumen communities." Full review
Afar Magazine "Features 307 rooms with wood floors, boldly upholstered walls, and what Andaz calls DigiValets—iPads that control room functions such as lighting, temperature, and curtains." Full review
Fodor's "This stylish boutique hotel offers the usual Andaz freebies like tea and coffee in the reception and free soft drinks and snacks in the minibar." Full review
Frommer's "The location is perfect for experiencing the city, as you’ll sleep in a little urban retreat but step right outside into the bustling Xintiandi development." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"Housed in one of the twin skyscrapers just north of Xīntiāndì, Andaz (meaning ‘personal style’ in Hindi) is among the latest luxury hotels to open in the French Concession." Full review
Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand
"The rooms are gorgeous...an extremely well-equipped gym, spa and pool will keep you in fine trim, but it’s the restaurant, bar and lounge that you’ll want to show off." Full review
