Shanghai | W Shanghai - The Bund: Stunning Design, Impeccable Service!

[Highlights]

✓ Service & Rooms: The service is top-notch (front desk, elevator staff, housekeeping), with unparalleled hospitality. The rooms are stylish and clean, featuring high-quality turndown service, and delightful cocktails and snacks during happy hour. Even without a suite upgrade, the view remains spectacular, arguably offering the best scenery in Shanghai.

✓ Design & Facilities: The bold, trendy blue-themed design of the W Hotel perfectly complements Shanghai's dazzling nightscape, exuding a sense of modernity. The design is eye-catching, and the rooms are both comfortable and chic. The diverse W-shaped installations in the lobby make for excellent photo backdrops.

✓ Public Spaces: The fourth-floor public area (outdoor/indoor pool, sauna, gym, and rooftop bar) is well-equipped and serves as a dreamy spot to admire the Bund's iconic "Three-Piece" night view.

✓ Dining Experience: The YEN restaurant on the fifth floor excels with its Peking duck and other dishes. Marriott members enjoy a 20% discount.

[Minor Drawbacks]

✓ Privacy Design: While the bathroom walls can be dimmed, the open design of the sink area facing the living room may feel slightly uncomfortable. Adding blinds or partitions is recommended.

✓ Pool Environment: The pool is a major highlight of the hotel, but a minor drawback is that, despite the overall high quality of guests, the changing room can occasionally be noisy due to staff or a few guests.
