The St. Regis Shanghai Jingan

The St. Regis Shanghai Jingan

10/10 Excellent
"I stayed 4 nights in September and I really enjoyed this hotel. The location is great, easy to get to anywhere and very quick to get a taxi any time. The room is huge and bathroom has an amazing view. The bath tub is particularly large. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choices. I will stay again."

"The location was excellent right on the Ninjing road with access to all the shops, however, a long walk to the Bund - The breakfast was excellent with plenty of options - the rooms was good, however the fridge wasn’t working and the toilet flush was not working properly - the hotel did not accommodate our early check in request even though requested well in advance due to the very early flight. Overall, good choice to stay in."

"We had a pleasant stay at the Crowne Plaza. It was conveniently located on Nanjing Road, and we appreciated the water every day. It was very quiet on the floor until some children were running in the halls late on our last night."
