PB hotel design editorial

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.

The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Pudong Reviews

"Our stay was overall a very positive experience, highlighted by exceptional service from several team members. A sincere thank you to Catherine Chen and Mike Wang for their outstanding support with transportation arrangements. Navigating logistics in a busy city like Shanghai can be complex, and both of them were incredibly helpful, patient, and responsive. Mike also provided excellent restaurant recommendations and assisted with reservations, which we truly appreciated. The rooms are beautifully appointed, very clean, and well maintained. Housekeeping did a wonderful job, and the accommodations felt comfortable and refined throughout our stay. One area that proved more challenging was communication with some of the restaurant staff and hotel operators. It occasionally took multiple attempts to clarify requests or secure what we needed. We suspect some of this may reflect post-COVID tourism shifts and changes in staffing or guest demographics. While everything was ultimately resolved, the process was not always seamless. We dined at several restaurants on property. Aura was excellent for the multiple lunches we enjoyed there—consistently welcoming, attentive, and a pleasant setting to relax mid-day. In contrast, Flair offers beautiful views and a striking atmosphere, but the environment felt somewhat pretentious and less welcoming compared to the other restaurants onsite. Overall, we appreciated the dedication of the staff—especially Catherine and Mike—and enjoyed our stay. With some improvements in communication consistency, the experience could be even stronger."

"Let me set the scene: I headed to Shanghai this February for work, and made the very bold choice to bring my entire family along for the ride. I went into this trip fully braced for chaos—juggling back-to-back meetings while keeping my family entertained and happy sounded like a recipe for a travel disaster. But The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong didn’t just avoid the mess—it turned this work-family hybrid trip into an absolute dream we’ll be gushing about for years. First off, a massive, game-changing shoutout to Shuhao from the sales team. If there was an award for turning travel stress into pure relaxation, Shuhao would take the top spot every single time. Every tiny detail was perfectly arranged before we even walked through the door, so I didn’t have to split my brain between work emails and family logistics for a single second. This man didn’t just handle a booking—he curated a flawless experience, and I’m forever grateful. Now, let’s talk about the spots that stole our hearts (and our camera rolls). FLAIR? The view is so breathtakingly elegant that my family spent 90% of our time there snapping photos of the skyline instead of having actual conversations—and I didn’t even complain. It’s the kind of view that makes even the most casual drink feel like a special, once-in-a-while occasion. Then there’s AURA, the lobby bar with style so immaculate, even my dad—who unapologetically wears socks with sandals everywhere—looked like a sophisticated, effortlessly cool urbanite while sipping his coffee there. If a space can make my dad look chic, you know it’s next-level. And don’t even get me started on the restaurants. Every single meal, every bite, every flavor was so unforgettable that I’m still daydreaming about them while I’m stuck in boring office meetings back home. My taste buds have been officially and permanently spoiled—no sad desk lunch will ever measure up to the magic we had here. These aren’t just meals; they’re memories that are living rent-free in the deepest corners of my mind, and I’m not mad about it one bit. By the time we left, my family was already asking when we could come back. Let me make this perfectly clear: next time I’m in Shanghai, there’s zero debate, zero hesitation, zero looking at other hotels. The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong is my one and only, non-negotiable choice. You turned a potentially chaotic work trip into a warm, perfect family memory, and that’s the kind of magic you can’t put a price on. 10/10, would absolutely let Shuhao plan my entire life if he’d be up for it."

"Hotel in Shanghai – The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong Since I’m a member of Marriott Bonvoy, of course, I chose this magnificent hotel. I arranged a transfer from the train station to the hotel in a luxurious S-class vehicle — the ride took 40 minutes. I was greeted like a VIP 😊 The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong offers a luxurious urban retreat with breathtaking views of the Huangpu River and The Bund. Guests can enjoy premium amenities, including an indoor pool and a world-class spa. The hotel itself exudes luxury and comfort — you feel completely at home. Their customer service is absolutely outstanding!!! I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the hotel staff for treating me like a VIP, for every little detail and thoughtful touch. A special thanks to @Kim_Euna — Yana, you are a wonderful person. Thank you for your dedication, and thanks to the universe for bringing us together. I will always remember the time I spent there! The hotel gave me exclusive gifts, noticed subtle details in my look, and wrote me warm wishes that brought tears to my eyes! I highly recommend this hotel — if you are in Shanghai, this is the only place to stay. You won’t regret it!"
