    I've stayed a the hotel 30 to 40 times and and in the past I found it a wonderful place to stay, but the staff has been downgraded the courtesy and general amenities are no longer given the detail they once had. upsale promotions are absurb entailing a surly check in person who no longer offers the welcome comctail, but rather informs you that a soft drink is somewhere over there in an unspecified place. Booked room grades are not honored as booked and protests that booking information indicates they are are met with a minor floor manager giving you his card and saying oh just mention me on the next time you stay. Not to mention a muriad of other failings that are beyond words to describe. Particularly the fact that one cannot leave the nanjing rd exit without being propositioned by a half dozen prostitutes even during the middle of the day. This is once great establishment is now a horrible hotel and I would hope that starwood would drop it from it's usuaully five star portfolio.You'll find better accomodations elsewhere

    Great location, modern styling. The negatives: lack of privacy (bathroom and living area are in same space), room gets very hot in the morning due to greenhouse effect, room service food is horrible, you definitely don't get an "authentic" shanghai experience here.

    The hotel is extremely comfortable, with great views from the rooms. Some people may not like the chrome and steel public areas, but the rooms themselves are welcoming. I have struggled to find a complaint, which is the mini-bar's only alcoholic drink is whisky, but when you have a cosy bar on the 66th floor with one of the most stunning views in the world, who needs a mini-bar!

    Enestående hotel, ligger perfekt med udgang til forretnings-hovedgaden i Shanghai (East Nanjing Road) og tæt på metrostation. Hotellet er luksus til fornuftig pris. Vi gav lidt ekstra og fik et værelse på 47 etage med en fantastisk udsigt over byen og adgang til Lounge med bl.a. morgenmad, eftermiddagskage og et let aftenmåltid. Fine badefaciliteter med pool, jacuzzi, sauna, m.v. samt meget fine fitness faciliteter. Værelset var noget af det bedste jeg har oplevet. Morgenmaden var overvældende i udvalg og kvalitet. Hotellet kan klart anbefales og er alle pengene værd.
