Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
A polished riverfront tower in Lujiazui, Mandarin Oriental Pudong combines broad Huangpu views, a major spa and indoor pool, serious dining and one of Shanghai’s strongest collections of contemporary art.
Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai occupies a prime stretch of the Huangpu River in Lujiazui, surrounded by the towers of the city’s financial district. The riverfront position gives the hotel a sense of openness that is unusual in this dense part of Shanghai.
Rooms and suites are contemporary and quietly luxurious, with large windows framing the Huangpu, Pudong skyline or neighboring cityscape. Interiors use warm woods, soft fabrics and subtle Chinese details rather than relying on overt decoration.
Art is unusually important throughout the hotel, with a large collection of original works spread across rooms and public spaces. The property also has a substantial spa, a 25-meter indoor pool and extensive fitness facilities, making wellness a genuine part of the stay.
Dining ranges from the modern grill at Fifty 8° Grill to refined Chinese cooking at Yong Yi Ting, with Zest, Qi Bar and Riviera Lounge adding more casual options. The mix works equally well for business dinners and slower leisure stays.
Mandarin Oriental Pudong is best for travelers who want to stay in Shanghai’s modern financial core without giving up a strong sense of place. The river views, art program and deep amenity set make it feel more complete than a typical business-district hotel.
