Floating above Lujiazui's forest of towers with the Oriental Pearl as a near neighbor, the Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Pudong is set within the upper floors of the ION luxury retail complex — a curtain-walled tower designed by Korhonen and Associates whose tapered glass facade catches the Huangpu's reflected light from the 58th floor upward. When it opened in 2010, the hotel's 285 rooms began where most buildings end, placing the entire program — rooms, restaurants, pool, spa — in the sky rather than at ground level. Hirsch Bedner Associates shaped interiors that draw on Shanghai's Republican-era glamour without resorting to pastiche: macassar ebony veneers, brass fretwork screens with Art Deco patterning, and lacquered surfaces warm the guest rooms, while wraparound floor-to-ceiling glazing turns the Bund and the Pearl Tower into permanent fixtures of every interior composition. The suite imagery here shows that elevation used with precision — the tower's geometry framed directly behind the headboard, as though the city were a piece of art hung specifically for that vantage. Above it all, the 58th-floor pool stretches toward the glass perimeter in mosaic-tiled aquamarine, lit in cool blue against the Shanghai skyline, and the rooftop bar pairs veined white marble table tops with teak decking and a retractable glass canopy — a room that is simultaneously inside and open to the full panorama of Pudong at dusk.
