Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund

An Insider's Take
'Where Art Deco glamour meets modern Shanghai sophistication along the legendary Bund waterfront.' What's Special? This stunning property occupies two historic buildings - the 1911 Shanghai Club (once an exclusive British gentlemen's club) and a contemporary tower. The original building features the world's longest bar at 110 feet, where colonial-era members once sipped gin and watched ships arrive from Europe. The hotel's?? offers unparalleled views of both the Huangpu River and Pudong's futuristic skyline.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a Heritage Suite in the original 1911 building for authentic period details, or request a Bund-facing room in the tower for sunrise views over the Huangpu River and Pudong's illuminated skyscrapers.
Don't Miss The legendary Long Bar maintains its colonial character with original dark wood paneling and vintage photographs. Step outside to explore the Bund's architectural museum of international styles, from neoclassical to Art Deco facades. The nearby Yu Garden offers traditional Chinese architecture just minutes from your doorstep, while the historic Peace Hotel's jazz bar continues Shanghai's 1930s musical heritage.
