"A perfect little gem of a hotel right in the centre of the hutongs. Very clean and welcoming with superb service from their staff (who speak English). The hotel is like a little museum to Chinese shadow art with so much information, examples and a library. An added bonus was the actual shadow art performance and demonstration by the puppeteer. "

Conrad Shanghai

Conrad Shanghai

10/10 Excellent
"We had an extended stay and we are so so So happy that we got to stay at Conrad, because it’s simply world class. From the amazing amenities, room service and location to extremely stellar staff, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to be at on an extended holiday due to the Typhoon. Special mention to the amazing staff: Quain G Camille Lily Anil Pravin And the lady waiting on the lifts who speaks several languages (maybe her name was Rosemary 🤔) Thank you thank you thank you!"
