Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund

Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund embodies the very best of Old-World grandeur and New-World sophistication. Located on the Huangpu River, along Shanghai’s most famous waterfront promenade, the hotel occupies a grand heritage building enhanced by a modern new tower. This dual nature presents an eloquent metaphor for Shanghai itself, a bustling metropolis that embraces its rich history and culture while striding confidently into the future.

Classical European style finishes the 260 guest rooms and suites, most with views of the Bund, and all outfitted with state-of-the-art entertainment systems and marble-finished bathrooms. The air of sophistication continues in eight meeting rooms totaling 11,354 square feet of space. The crown jewel, the Shanghai Club Ballroom, hosts memorable affairs in a baroque backdrop of crystal chandeliers, intricate moldings, and balconies with magnificent views of the Bund. Outside, a meticulously landscaped courtyard adds an inviting alfresco option.

The hotel’s location lends added interest for groups day and night. Guests who rise early can watch the locals who practice tango, tai chi, and qigong on the Bund promenade before heading for work. Night owls can thrill to the sight of iconic landmarks aglow along the Bund and the twinkling lights of Pudong skyscrapers across the river. Explorers can wander the quaint alleys and lanes behind the hotel and discover fascinating shops and a wealth of trendy restaurants and reinvented glamour bars. Back home, delegates between meetings and events can unwind at the hotel’s indoor pool, fitness center, spa, and renowned restaurants and bars.
