Experts' Choice Award Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai
What the experts agree on
A Shanghai institution's twin towers rise over the Huangpu riverfront in Lujiazui, offering unbeatable Bund views, white-glove service, and elegant spaces—though its sheer 952-room scale means it feels massive.
“Although Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai is enormous, with nearly 1,000 rooms spread across two buildings, you won’t feel lost in the Four-Star hotel.”
