Rating: 5. This is my second stay at the Waldorf Astoria, and I can say the experience was excellent. From the elegant Morandi color palette to the 2-meter king bed, everything in the room was impressive and truly relaxing. The staff were all very polite! I think next time I come to Shanghai, I will continue to choose…
Traveling with kids and parents as a family. Big thanks to front desk Kaya for upgrading us to a full river-view room — it's indeed much nicer than the deluxe river view. Thank you. Front desk Aron was also very nice on the phone. Thanks. The hotel breakfast is one of the better ones I've had — not a huge variety for…
The hotel has an elegant and impressive ambiance, with excellent facilities. The entire stay was outstanding.

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
