The PuLi Hotel and Spa, Shanghai

Yes, the PuLi delivers all the quintessential perks of a modern hotel, yet it also offers one the most valuable commodities in Shanghai - some peace and quiet (no easy feat considering it's in the center of bustling Jing’an). The PuLi’s understated design (a sleek, black-tiled lobby; gray Shanghai brick tiled bathrooms; fishscale lattice pocket doors; tables topped with slate-colored inkstone) echo a far-flung tropical resort. The gem of this urban retreat is the 5,380-square-foot Anantara Spa, which has a lap pool overlooking the beautifully landscaped Jing'an Park.

The St. Regis Shanghai Jing’an

If you're looking for the grandeur of The Bund minus the crowds, look no further than The St. Regis, where private butler service is a given for every guest. The property is just a short walk from West Nanjing Road’s shopping district and a host of bars and restaurants, but should you decide to dine in, you've got your choice of six restaurants and bars. A must-try is the the hotel’s renowned ‘Mary Jing,’ a spin on the classic Bloody Mary served with Shanghai spices and local ingredients such as dried preserved figs infused in vodka and Osmanthus flowers.

Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund

If these walls could talk! The two buildings of the Waldorf Astoria connect Shanghai’s storied past with the 21st century. The Waldorf Astoria Club, a heritage 1910 building in a superlative location on The Bund, is the former site of The Shanghai Club, an elite social club in old Shanghai. It features 20 suites that bring guests back to the heyday of Shanghai glamour with colonial-style design details like timber floors and romantic poster canopy beds. Across the manicured courtyard, sits the Waldorf Astoria Tower, a contemporary building with 240 rooms and suites, with postcard-perfect views of the Bund.

Wanda Reign on the Bund

‘Go big or go home’ should be the slogan at the Wanda Reign. Your jaw will drop as soon as you enter the colossal lobby, which is covered from top to bottom in marble and jade and adorned with impressive artwork (just look to the 26 x 26 foot painting Splendid Orient by contemporary Chinese artist, Shi Qi). The only thing more dazzling than the hotel's interior is the stunning view of The Bund, Huangpu River, Pudong skyline and Yu Garden from the 193 luxurious guestrooms.
