The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the pool and the views, consistently rating cleanliness and service near-perfect.
Regent Shanghai Pudong
$180-300/ natt
Boka detta om You want the most cinematic swimming pool in Shanghai and a front-row seat to the Pearl Tower without the Bund's tourist crush.
Varför människor älskar det
- The 41st-floor infinity pool is arguably the best in the city, offering a 'Skyfall'-esque swim above the skyline
- Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room guarantee a view, with the best ones framing the Oriental Pearl Tower perfectly
- Service is polished but warm, shedding the stiffness of its former life as a Four Seasons
Snabb Överblick: A sexy, high-altitude sanctuary in the financial district that feels more like a Bond villain's lair than a corporate hotel.
Recenserat av @carballo10: I stayed in this corner room and honestly, I couldn't close the curtains. Waking up to the Oriental Pearl Tower right in my face was a core memory. If you want the full Shanghai experience, this is it.

Innan du bokar
Bra att veta

- Taxis are cheap, but traffic in the tunnels crossing to the Bund can be brutal at rush hour; use the Metro (Dongchang Rd or Shangcheng Rd) to cross the river.
- Download Alipay or WeChat Pay before arrival; cash is rarely used.

FAQ & Dolda tips
Allt du verkligen vill veta innan du bokar.
Is the pool heated?

How much is the deposit?
Expect a hold of roughly 1,000-2,000 RMB per night depending on room type; it can take 1-2 weeks to release.

Can I walk to the Bund?
No, you are across the river. You can take a ferry, the metro (1 stop), or a taxi (15-20 mins) to get to the historic Bund.
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, but it's more 'well-behaved child' friendly than 'run wild' friendly. The pool is the main draw for kids.

Insider-tips
- ✨
The 'Social Hour' at the bar sometimes offers complimentary drinks/snacks for guests—ask the concierge if it's running during your stay.
- ✨
Use the underground pedestrian tunnels to navigate Lujiazui; they connect the hotel to IFC Mall and the Metro without fighting traffic.
- ✨
The gym has the same killer view as the pool—go at sunrise for a workout with the city waking up below you.
5 saker du bör veta innan du åker
💡The 'City View' rooms often look directly into other office buildings—you really need to upgrade for the view.
💡The deposit return speed is notoriously slow for international cards.
💡It's a ghost town at street level at night; Lujiazui is a business district, so don't expect bustling street food right outside.
💡The blackout curtains are motorized and extremely effective—pitch black even at noon.
💡You can see the 'bottle opener' (Shanghai World Financial Center) and 'syringe' (Jin Mao Tower) better from here than from the buildings themselves.
