The Shanghai EDITION

Very streamlined and clean. The service is amazingly next level, highly recommend.

Amazing

lovely hotel with tasteful decor and good selection of quality food and drinks. The night club is a good surprise. Only downside is the location, very touristy and overly crowded.

Just amazing! Can’t say enough about this place. The GM, club manager, and bar manager Bob, were all awesome! I’ll definitely be back!

Hotel was new so overall experience was pleasant but it definitely wasn’t worth its price. It is branded as a luxury hotel but there wasn’t anything to wow, the luxurious feel was lacking. Other international 5 star hotels at lower prices fair better. It is really just your average new hotel.

Stylish hotel at great location. Definitely the best hotel I’ve stayed in Shanghai. Highly recommend grand bund view room as you can have beautiful view over waitan and oriental pearl tower.

By far the best hotel I stayed at in Shanghai. The entire staff speaks English, which was a delightful surprise. Aside from that it is clear they make an effort to put guests first no matter what. Smooth seamless service at the spa, restaurants, and all 9 bars...yes. they were so amazing I couldn't stop from trying them all. And I'm sorry grandma, but their eggnog is better than our family recipe. Upgrading to the bund view premium rooms is worth every penny, even on cloudy days. Also, I would say this is easily better than the Four Seasons and Oriental, both of which I've stayed before. Many thanks!!!

The staffs were extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms were huge, clean and modern! Location was perfect as well. It’s walking distance to the famous Nanjing Road and there were lots of other shopping streets around too. We couldn’t ask for anything better than this. Thumbs up!

Our stay at the Edition was great in almost every way. To start, the hotel is either new or newly renovated so the rooms are in impeccable shape, they are spacious, well appointed and have wonderful bathrooms. The in-room amenities (from the Nespresso coffee maker to the plush wardrobes) were top-notch. The location is also a plus, as the property sits right on E. Nanjing Rd (an important commercial, walkable street) located directly across from the (high-end) New World mall; 1/4 block away from the pedestrian-only Nanjing area (two more shopping center and hundreds of stores and restaurants); two minute walk to the subway (lines 2 and 10) and three (long) blocks away from the famous Bund. The bars on the 28 and 29th floor of the hotel are AMAZING and you get some of the best views Shanghai has to offer. As far as negatives, we found the staff of the restaurant under-trained and the service unreliable. The food was OK but not great, so after our first meal in the hotel, we decided to eat out. Also, this hotel is very occidental making it a great choice if you're looking for something familiar, but not so much if you're looking for an authentic experience. In this respect, the Peninsula, Langham or even the Waldorf are more oriental. Lastly, a shout out to the concierge staff who made our stay much easier by assisting with dining reservations, suggestions, transfers etc.

My stay overall was pleasant but there were a few things to note:- 1. curb side design was a nightmare, cars constantly compete with pedestrian tourist to get in the curb side to park 2. room operations need to be reviewed. on day one i found that there were leftover water in the coffee machine and dust at the bottom of the tea pot. 3. i experienced an overcharging problem with my guarantee as they rollover my room rate with the guarantee even though i have paid in full when i made the reservation. 4. there was substantial noise in my room (i was on 17F and club was at 28F) 5. Tavern (the lobby restaurant) has serious exhaust problem. Me and my guest had smell of steak all over our clothes after sitting in there for 2 hours. Overall I feel that the hotel could do much better had it been moved to a more prestigious location. I will go back for the club but probably will not stay in the hotel.
