If you’re looking for chill staycation or visiting Shangahi for the weekend this is the place to be. This hotel is located on the world famous Bund. Brunch is amazing all you can eat western style food and for a little extra you can enjoy free flow beer on tap. The hotel views are awesome if you get on facing the river. #wshanghai we stayed for the weekend and it was peaceful to be away from downtown where we live.

#visitshanghai This place is memorable because my then-boyfriend proposed to me here. I remember vividly the amazing blue skies, the amazing landmarks, and amazing food. Everything was just perfect. We went back to celebrate our wedding in the afternoon with friends. The service was good and the prices are reasonable.

Had an amazing staycation at W Shanghai this weekend! We started our day with a delicious Italian brunch 🍴🇮🇹 and then had a spinning session with Supermonkey 🚴‍♀️🐒. The views of the city were incredible 🏙️ and we loved every moment of our stay 🎉🌞. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun and relaxing weekend getaway! 😍 ##myperfectstaycation #WShanghai #Staycation #ItalianBrunch #SpinningSession #Supermonkey #CityViews #WeekendGetaway

When you comes to W Hotel, many people’s first reaction is trendy. It’s avant-garde, magical background music, cool public area, big LOGO, and of course the indescribable fun in the room. Of course, all of the above are true. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to travel to many places, and of course I have encountered some W hotels. To be honest, the quality gap is still quite large. The most amazing one is Aman, the capital of Jordan in the mysterious Middle East. It is hard to imagine that there is a hotel in the country of Mongolia. Such a cool W, of course, no matter from the hardware to the service, the quality of domestic hotels is getting better and better, among which the W Hotel on the Bund bears the brunt. Located the first-line river view of the North Bund, Lujiazui’s neon lights are unobstructed. The trendy restaurant, bar, and terrace always attract countless visitors. Downstairs is the Magnolia Plaza, where you can eat, drink, shop, and stroll across the North Bund along the riverside. It is also a good place for leisure and worth a special visit. #hotel #staycation

If you're looking for a luxurious and stylish hotel in downtown Shanghai, the W Hotel is an excellent choice. From the moment you step into the lobby, you'll be struck by the hotel's contemporary design, with sleek lines and modern furnishings. The rooms at the W Hotel are spacious, comfortable, and elegantly decorated. They feature all the amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel, including high-speed internet, flat-screen TVs, and luxurious bedding. The bathrooms are equally impressive, with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers that are perfect for unwinding after a busy day exploring the city.

Are you looking to enjoy quality meals and view exquisite views . Then the W Shanghai might be the place for you! #shanghai #nightlife #shanghailife

#shinsider Pictures speak louder than words ✌️ Every Sunday, the W hotel invites for an amazing brunch! For me, it is by far the best! Location, food, service - all on point! Price: 400-800 depending on the package (alcohol, champagne, etc.)

WETBAR at W-Hotel should be in your top list of bars to visit while you are staying in Shanghai. Location wise is quite convenient as it is in the city's down town so It can be reached easily by taxi or public transport. You can spend sometime in this place if you need a break from the sun or after a long walk to enjoy a drink or a Snack. There is variety of hot and cold drinks and some classic pastries and sandwiches. The bar is very elegant, all the decoration is carefully done to create a visually appealing space. There is a big selection of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic and some cocktails are very colourful and beautifully served. The lounges are also decorated with style. The best part is the outdoor terrace where you have the best view of the whole skyline. #passionpassport #holidays #exploring #china #passionpassport

This rooftop bar & pool is located at W Shanghai The Bund hotel. tip: You don’t need to book a room in the hotel to be able to get inside. You can just dine in or simply have a drink at the rooftop and enjoy the view.😉 #rooftopbar #rooftoppool #shanghai

WET Bar at the W hotel, Shanghai is an amazing rooftop open air bar with amazing views of the bund ⭐️ The ambience is breathtaking with good food service and drinking amazing signature cocktails while admiring amazing views from across the bund 😍 #shanghai #whotel #wetbar #thebund #rooftopbar #weekendgetaway

Address - W hotel the bund Ambiance/Facilities - chilled rooftop restaurant with outdoor pool. Highlights - The music is great, and the food was fantastic. Avg. Price per Person - 400 RMB Rating - 4 If you're looking for a chilled place to eat that is not too crowded but still has an amazing view of Shanghai, the kitchen table is where you want to go. The food was great, as well as the drinks. Looking forward to visiting again in. summer.

What a wonderful time for Brunch. Being in Shanghai there is a brunch happening somewhere all times of day. And one of the more luxurious Brunches are definitely in the W Hotel on the Bund. The all inclusive brunch comes with a sea food platter and the biggest buffet you can imagine. There are 2 whole buffet tables just for Dessert. The rooftop atmosphere is also a great place to invite a group of friends and have a little party. I would definitely recommend coming at the start as it does get a little crowded after 12. All in all I would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning to stay in Shanghai for Chinese New Year as it is a little risky to be travelling at the moment. 😁 #christmasgiveaway

W hotel is one of the coolest hotels in Shanghai very much aimed at the millennial market. The service is fantastic and the surroundings like no other hotel in Shanghai. This weekend we wanted afternoon tea and searching online it seems most hotel offerings are very similar, except W hotel. The afternoon tea set is Shanghai themed with different street names of Shanghai. The food itself is also based on famous Shanghai snacks. The set cost around 500rmb for 2 people and overall was tasty and most importantly fun and a bit different. During the week afternoon tea is served in their restaurant called ‘The Kitchen Table’. However, on a weekend it is served in their bar/ lounge area ‘woo bar’. The restaurant has better views end environment, however, woo bar is still very nice with a live DJ playing.

W Shanghai hotel offers spectacular brunches on the weekend. for around 800 rmb you can enjoy a starter main dish, dessert and a few drink. It has an outdoor swimming pool with a view to the bund. hotel is luxurious and the crowd is mostly dressed up. The hotel is located next to Sinar más plaza mall. W hotel often offer set menus brunches but for big groups is necessary to reserve in advance. atmosphere is cool with a DJ playing music. #christmasgiveaway #whotel #shanghai #brunch

📍66 Lvshun Rd W Shanghai The Kitchen Table is on the W floor (which is actually 4th floor) of the hotel. It has a great terrace beside a swimming pool, and with beautiful bund view. It would be a fashion and crowded bar at night but it’s also a good place to have lunch or some afternoon tea at day. We bought a lunch set voucher and had lunch on the terrace, It’s always pleasant to have lunch with such a great view, and I barely remember if the food is good. Of course, there are always beautiful girls taking picture here haha.📷 But I didn’t have the chance to have a W night yet. I believe it would be a totally different place. Hope I can come back soon. 🥰

Getting There -  the easiest ways to reach the bund are either via the metro or by taking a didi (taxi) Attractions - there are several fun and entertaining attractions in the area, the most prominent one being the Pearl Tower. Hotels - hotels are excellent and in abundance on either side of the river by the Bund. Food & Restaurants - it is definitely worth the hassle of translating menus of some excellent Chinese restaurants rather than just going to the nearest McDonald's. Shopping - shopping opportunities are anywhere and everywhere! #loveflowers#summerdays#urbanexplorer

Best brunch location in Shanghai 🥰 Sun, view and amazing food, all of that we got in one place for brunch at The Kitchen Table restaurant of the W Shanghai hotel! 😋 The stuff is very nice and do understand some English, so ordering is not a challenge at all. The food is quite good and I strongly recommend the deserts they serve, all of them are wonderful 😍 I did regret I haven't put on more loose dress so I can them them all 😆 The terrace is very spacious and offers a great view on the Bund, the Pearl and hotel pool. This is a nice place to treat yourself, cause why not? #shanghai #brunch #weekendrecommendations #greatviews #rooftoppool #thebund #afternoontea #deliciousfood

A dim sum dream come true! W Shanghai’s Dim Sum Buffet felt like an absolute bargain. At RMB 268 per person, we were able to order a huge variety of dim sum dishes that were prepared in the kitchen (not just laid out on a table like we initially thought it would be!) From steamed, fried and baked food to soup, seafood and even a couple of sweet treats, there’s plenty to choose from to satisfy all tastebuds - those looking for more traditional bites, as well as those that like something a little more fusion / modern. Plus, if you stick around for a drink down by the pool it’s a pretty awesome view 😎 #deliciousfood#urbanexplorer

Save this guide that covers Instagram-style blockbusters + Internet celebrity food + Citywalk! 🌇【Advanced Ways to Enjoy the Bund】 ❶ Walk for 5 minutes to reach "North Bund Riverside" and avoid the crowds on the Bund! Come to the Green Hill rooftop at 7 o'clock in the morning, frame the cruise ship, Magnolia Square and the Oriental Pearl Tower in the morning mist into the camera, and wear a white shirt to take cool and refreshing photos. ❷ In the evening, head straight to the "Waibaidu Bridge" to chase the sunset over the Orange Sea. Start from the W Hotel and stroll along the Hongkou Harbor. You will occasionally encounter super cool silver water drop sculptures and graffiti walls. It is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens! 🍽️【Food map with hidden surprises】 ❶ Behind the hotel, "Dong Changzhi Road" hides the locals' secret breakfast! The pot stickers at Weimin Dim Sum Restaurant burst with juice when you bite them, and a bowl of beef soup can wake up the Shanghai stomach. The average price per person is 20 yuan, and you will eat until you lean on the wall. ❷ Walk for 10 minutes to "Magnolia Square", and strongly recommend "Zuidong" on L5 - Taizhou cuisine mixed with nightclub style, crispy pigeon + yellow croaker rice cake are must-order, and the window seat with a view of Lujiazui's night view is worth the price of the ticket! 📸【Niche film easter egg】 ❶ Turn into "Lvshun Road" to take the three-piece set of Internet celebrity camera positions! Use a red roadside telephone booth as the foreground, and turn on the lights at night to create a cyberpunk feel. Use a 0.5x wide-angle lens on your phone to take photos in seconds. ❷ Take a taxi for 10 yuan to the "Shamei Building". You can take pictures of the Bund Clock Tower and Pudong skyline at the top floor Z Hotel Cafe. Order a dirty drink and pretend to be in New York. 🛍️【Trendy Shopping Guide】 ❶ Just across the street is "Raffles Shanghai", the "City Market" on the B1 floor recreates the alley scene of the 1990s, where you can buy Guangming ice bricks for nostalgia, and check in for the same pork ribs and rice cakes as in "Flowers in the Sky". ❷ Ride for 15 minutes to "Jinchao Lane 8", where the buyer's shop in the Shikumen building complex hides independent designer jewelry, and you can get the same earrings from the show for 100 yuan~ 💡【Player-level Tips】 ✔️ It is recommended to buy the "Brunch and Lunch Ticket" of W Hotel on weekends, which includes the VIP channel of the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel ✔️ There are shared scooters on the North Bund Riverside, and the river breeze in the evening is super chill ✔️ The elevator of Shamei Building requires a room card, and you can take it with Z Hotel guests ✔️ The lights of the Bund go out at 11 pm, so you have to go early to take pictures of the night view 🌃When the neon lights of the rooftop swimming pool of W Hotel light up, the Magic City outside the floor-to-ceiling windows is performing a never-ending brilliant drama-this is the city phantom moment that belongs exclusively to Shanghai.

#travelinginchina Staying at The W Shanghai was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped into the hotel's sleek, modern lobby, I knew I was in for a treat. The chic decor, cutting-edge technology, and exceptional service all combined to create a truly luxurious atmosphere. My room was a tranquil oasis, with plush bedding, stunning city views, and every amenity I could possibly need. The hotel's amenities, from the rooftop pool to the state-of-the-art fitness center, were equally impressive. Throughout my stay, I felt pampered, relaxed, and thoroughly indulged. The W Shanghai's exceptional staff went above and beyond to ensure my every need was met, making me feel like a true VIP.

A Birthday Surprise! Discovering the Dazzling Charm of W Shanghai - The Bund Choosing to stay at W Shanghai - The Bund for my birthday was absolutely the right decision! As a highly sought-after internet-famous hotel, opinions on it vary, but my personal experience tells me it's a place full of surprises and worth revisiting. Excellent Location Located in Baiyulan Plaza, North Bund, the hotel boasts an exceptional location. With convenient transportation and proximity to Shanghai Railway Station, getting around is a breeze. Even better, it faces Lujiazui across the river, offering stunning views of the iconic trio of skyscrapers. Whether it's the bustling cityscape during the day or the dazzling light show at night, the view is captivating. The adjacent shopping mall provides a wealth of leisure and entertainment options, catering to all your needs. Avant-Garde Design and Diverse Amenities The hotel's decor is bold and vibrant, cleverly blending traditional Chinese colors, trendy elements, and local characteristics. Stepping inside, you're immediately greeted by a sense of avant-garde style and energy. With both indoor and outdoor pools, you can enjoy breathtaking views while swimming, making it a popular spot for photos. The WOOBAR on the W floor has a fantastic atmosphere and top-notch drinks. Don't miss Happy Hour from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm every night. I highly recommend the non-alcoholic ShangHai Fizz for its refreshing and unique taste. A Dreamy Suite Experience I stayed in the Wonderful Room, Bund View, ending in 10. Upon entering, I was immediately drawn to the vibrant red color scheme, complemented by red and blue gradient ambient lighting, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere perfect for a party with friends. The suite spans over 90 square meters, offering ample space and two bathrooms, making it comfortable and convenient. The most stunning feature is the view. As night falls and the city lights twinkle, the magnificent view of the Lujiazui trio unfolds before your eyes, as if you can feel the pulse of the city. Gazing into the distance, you can also sense the historical weight of old Shanghai. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: Spacious with distinct functional areas. The living room, bedroom, and bathrooms are well-arranged for a comfortable stay. 🛌Amenities/Facilities: Equipped with high-quality bedding, toiletries, and comprehensive facilities, catering to both daily living and leisure needs. 🧹Soundproofing/Cleanliness: Excellent soundproofing blocks outside noise, ensuring a peaceful rest. The room was spotlessly clean. Delightful Dining Breakfast is served at The Kitchen Table, an all-day dining restaurant that also offers brunch on weekends. The spacious restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with the outdoor area connected to the pool, creating a beautiful setting. Dining here is a truly enjoyable experience, banishing any morning drowsiness. The staff is warm and attentive, guiding guests to their seats and offering à la carte service upon request. The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes, including beef, lamb, and roasted chicken. In my opinion, it ranks among the top hotel breakfasts in Shanghai. Exceptional Service The hotel's service was full of pleasant surprises. From the operator and concierge to the front desk, room attendants, restaurant staff, bar staff, and loyalty team, everyone was enthusiastic and energetic. Unlike the rigid service of traditional luxury hotels, they treat you like a friend, providing attentive care while spreading joy, making the entire stay feel warm and welcoming. 💗Other Tips: - Highly recommend the Wonderful Room ending in 10 for the best view. The room ending in 12 has a slightly less impressive view. - Opt for rooms on the 30th floor or higher to avoid obstructed views. - Book a table at WOOBAR in advance to better enjoy Happy Hour. W Shanghai - The Bund is truly captivating. From its unique design and stunning views to its attentive service and rich experiences, it's an unforgettable stay. For your next special occasion, gather your friends and embark on a dreamy journey here.
