Frommer's "The handsome St. Regis might well be the luxury hotel at which to stay in town were it not for its less-convenient location in Pudong." Full review
Concierge "The 328-room St. Regis has sizable sleeping quarters that are just about as grand as the sweeping, ballroomlike check-in area."
Travel + Leisure "328 rooms (which are some of the largest in the city) with Chinese art and ceramics; hotel butlers are trained as both city guides and translators." Full review

"This "true gem" with 24-hour butler service is decorated in plum, chocolate, cream, and gold tones." Full review
Star Service "The Hongta is now part of Starwood Collection's sister grouping The Luxury Collection, but it maintains an equally high-end clientele as it did with the St. Regis." Full review
Time Out "Formerly known as The St. Regis Shanghai, a five star hotel which belongs to the main luxury brand of the international Starwood Hotels organisation." Full review
Lonely Planet "It’s not as hip as the Park Hyatt or as elegant as the Shangri-La, but many visitors to Shànghǎi – including the Ferrari Formula One team – rank this as the classiest joint in town."
