An Insider's Take
'Where cutting-edge design meets the soul of Shanghai — W Shanghai-The Bund is a statement hotel perched at the crossroads of the city's legendary past and electric future.' What's Special?

Positioned steps from the iconic Bund waterfront, this boldly designed W Hotel commands sweeping views of the Huangpu River and the glittering Pudong skyline — home to some of the world's most recognizable skyscrapers. The hotel's interior is a love letter to Shanghai's Art Deco golden era, fused with W's signature maximalist, contemporary flair. With its rooftop bar, destination spa, and vibrant social spaces, it's as much a nightlife hub as it is a luxury retreat.

WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a room on a high floor facing Pudong for a front-row seat to Shanghai's dazzling nightly light show — the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel and the Oriental Pearl Tower glow just across the river. Sunsets here are absolutely unreal.
Don't Miss

Don't miss WOOBAR, the hotel's legendary cocktail lounge offering panoramic river views — perfect for sundowners with a Shanghai backdrop. Also explore the surrounding French Concession neighborhood, just a short ride away, filled with plane tree-lined streets, boutique cafés, and some of the city's most celebrated restaurants.
