Pudong Shangri-La

Pudong Shangri-La is set in Lujiazui, facing the Aurora Art Museum across the road. The hotel holds 375 guestrooms and 36 suites, each fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the district below. Rooms come with a Nespresso machine, a mini bar and in-room tailor service. Dining runs around the clock. You can order room service at any hour, whatever the time zone you have arrived from. Ten separate restaurants and bars operate on site, alongside a lobby lounge for something quieter. The health club holds an indoor pool, a Jacuzzi, a steam room and a sauna, and there are tennis courts for guests who want to move rather than soak. Wireless and broadband internet run complimentary throughout the building, a small but useful fact for a hotel built around business travel. It is a large, full-service address rather than an intimate one, and it reads accordingly: floor after floor of rooms with a view, back-of-house support at every hour, and enough restaurants that a week's stay need not repeat a menu. The Aurora Art Museum sits directly opposite, a fixed point of reference for anyone giving directions to a taxi driver.
