What’s more, over half of the hotel’s 686 guest rooms and suites boast stunning views of the iconic Bund, while the others look out over the city’s glittering skyline.

And of course, all rooms boast elegant interiors with modern facilities to ensure guests have a restful stay with access to everything they need.

The new Huangpu Ballroom is perfect for big gatherings, and is lauded for its stunning Bund view.
