I stayed here for 2 nights. I have other 2 Renaissances in Shanghai (Yangtze & Pudong) in recent past and must say this is the best of the three. The location is perfect for yuyuan Garden, bund (closed for reconstruction), Taxi base-rate ShinTenDi distance. The entrance is a small hall, where the elevator takes you to the 4th floor Lobby.... more

If you're anal about cleanliness, this is just the hotel for you. The bathroom is just about as clean as it gets, which suits me just fine. The toiletries are great, all that's lacking are bath salts to complement the perfectly-sized tub that you can wallow in while watching tv AND enjoying the view of the Yu Yuan area from... more

We were a little concerned about going to this hotel with the previous comments about construction work. We must learn to go to these places when the big event (expo 2010 on this occasion) and the construction work is finished. Having said that, yes there is alot of work going on around this hotel and other parts of Shanghai, but... more

This hotel is very nice and modern. Right next to Yuyuan. There was some construction going on next door, which made it a bit difficult to navigate by taxi. I assume the construction will be finished soon making this a great hotel. I complained loudly to the hotel staff about the "fish-smelling hot water." They upgraded my room, but the... more

We stayed at Renaissance Shanghai hotel for three nights on a China Spree Tour. This hotel is wonderful, new, trendy, rooms big enough. Rooms are nicely decorated well with a chaise, a glass topped desk. There is a large Jacuzzi, and an awesome glass infinity pool on the 22nd floor, which our boys loved at night. The view was the... more

Everything about this hotel sparkled--the cleanliness, the smiles, the restaurants, the executive lounge--I can't say how much we enjoyed this hotel. The location over looking the YuYuan Bazaar was a bonus as well as the beautiful view from the roof top infinity pool. At night, the Bund sparkled outside the roof top observation deck and the executive lounge. The food... more

Our stay was during Sept 2009 and the first stop in our Asia trip and we had good experiences here. The hotel itself is very nice - the concierge / info on the main floor was very helpful, check-in was easy. Our rate did not include breakfast and we didn't opt for the upgrade. We ordered eggs off the menu... more

The rooms was nice and modern. I specially liked the "rain"shower even tho the water had a strange smell. The location are as bad as earlier reviewer has said. Next time I will stay on a walking distance from Nanjing road. Breakfast was good reminded more of a boutique hotel then a big business hotel. more

First, lobby was beautiful, the front desk was always welcoming and eager to help and spoke English well, as did the staff in the Executive level lounge. The room was fun, funky, very functional, comfortable and uber modern! The rooftop indoor infinity pool was beautiful, and the fitness room new, modern, well equipped, and far better than most hotels in... more
