A Bund in the River
Tourists flock to the iconic Bund district, once the financial center of Shanghai. Overlooking the Huangpu River, the Bund is home to some of the city's finest Art Deco buildings, recalling the European influence of the early 20th century.
Crown-Pleaser
The crown-like tower isn't the only distinctive touch of the luxurious Westin Bund Center. There's a three-tier glass staircase and indoor greenery, not to mention rooms outfitted with "rainforest showers" and Westin's trademarked Heavenly Beds.
Eagle's Aerie
The Grand Hyatt Shanghai occupies the 53rd through 87th floors of the Jin Mao Tower in Pudong, the ultramodern satellite city and new financial epicenter located across the river from the Bund. Rooms offer panoramic views, as does the pool on the top floor.
Style and Comfort
Private butler service is just one of the amenities that help guests rest easy at the perennially praised St. Regis.
Groovy and Gorgeous
Adam Tihany, the designer behind the sleek look of New York restaurants Le Cirque and Per Se, brought his touch to the Jade on 36 Restaurant and Bar at the Pudong Shangri-La, where hip travelers and cool locals mix.
A Grape Choice
Modern French cooking and fresh local seafood, not to mention a selection of more than 5,000 wines, make a visit to Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Bund outpost a must.
Shopping Sophistication
Plaza 66, a chichi mall in Shanghai's second-tallest building. The center boasts Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and Gucci boutiques.
