Frommer's "Opened in 2005, Shanghai's second Radisson hotel is a five-star outfit, but its service falls a little short of the service at top hotels in this category, such as the Westin and the JW Marriott." Full review
Fodor's "Though the hotel caters primarily to business travelers, the suites—with huge living rooms, kitchen/dining rooms, and spacious baths—are convenient for families." Full review

Time Out "This hotel's trump card is its location. Handily situated on Nanjing Xi Lu, bang next to People's Square, it's a mere step away from the metro and a vast array of shops." Full review

Forbes Travel Guide 4 Stars
"Like the city itself, Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund is split in two: There’s the more than 100-year-old historic part of the building and the new modern tower." Full review
Frommer's "Along with the Peace Hotel, the Waldorf Astoria is one of the few luxury properties in Shanghai with history in the building." Full review
