Stay here: a room with a view of the Bund review

Looking for a hotel that can match the boldness of the Shanghai skyline and the city’s famed waterfront promenade? Look no further than the W Shanghai – The Bund .

What’s the deal?

Located on the western bank of the Huangpu River, the hotel takes the vibrant, fun energy that the brand is known for and turns it up a notch, resulting in a destination that is unmissably full of colour and verve. Big pinks, oranges and reds abound across the art, lobby, rooms and beyond. 

Why stay?

The W Floor is at the heart of the action, a buzzing open space that brings together Woobar , the indoor/outdoor bistro The Kitchen Table , the spectacular Wet Bar , and a pool with one of the best full views of the city. 

And we need to talk about the view. From North Bund, W provides a different take on the famous Pudong/Bund juxtaposition that will have your mind boggling over this magnificent city, and the perfect spot to watch the nightly lightshow that takes over the city. Conveniently located on Metro Line 12, the hotel is a stone’s throw away from other tourist attractions and historical buildings, including Huangpu Park, Waibaidu Bridge, Shanghai World Financial Center, Jin Mao Tower and Shanghai Tower.
