Stayed for 2 nights at the Renaissance hotel in the middle of the Shanghai business district in Sep 2007. The location is fantastic and the rooms were great. The staff and their service was also very good. They tool care of me well considering this was my first trip to Shaighai. Breakfast buffet spread was huge and tasty as well.... more

I moved to the Renaissance Yangtze Hotel as it was just across my Business Associates' Offices. Breakfast was not included in the price & was quite expensive, though good. The view of the Speedways and speeding traffic was something. Showed what China was all about. The foot massage lady was great. She also comes to the Room if you want.... more

Some hotels near to exhibition centres can be "well used" and "jaded", but not this one. The Renaissance offers sumptuous beds and very quiet rooms. Everywhere is perfectly clean and well maintained. The restaurants are very well serviced and all the staff are very friendly and helpful. After long, tiring days at the nearby exhibition centre, this hotel is a... more

I stayed for one week on business, but managed a couple of personal days for sightseeing. Checkin at mid-day was fast and pleasant: I took the club upgrade, which entitles you to breakfast, and 'happy hour' for free drinks and nibbles in the evening, in the penthouse amongst other perks. Refreshments in the lobby were rather expensive, even for a... more

We stayed in a club level room for six nights and this hotel made Shanghai much more enjoyable for us. As first time travelers (from the US) to China, we suffered from culture shock at times while we were in Shanghai, but it was always a pleasure to come back to the Renaissance. Our room was comfortable and fairly modern.... more

I was here at the tail end of a 2 week business trip. The hotel is quite near our office here so a logical choice. The room was very nice - extra comfy bed (best one on the trip) with plenty of pillows. The bathroom amenities all had an Asian smell (lemongrass) which was really nice as well. The gym... more
