Excellent service & location
Reviewed By AndrewEsteMy wife and I booked a Gold room for our wedding anniversary, and we were blown away by how well we were treated by Nana and all of the staff executive lounge staff. They went out of their way to make our stay and the occasion special for us, and we felt everything at this hotel was absolutely top notch! The Fairmont is a big step up from other luxury hotels in Shanghai. The service throughout the premises is the most attentive and friendly we have seen at a big hotel in China, and the prime location, decor, and well-known history are added bonuses. We enjoyed a drink and watching the oldest jazz band at the bar downstairs, and had a nice dinner at Dragon Phoenix. We appreciated that you can enjoy a lively bar and a nice dinner without leaving the hotel; usually it’s difficult to get one of these during your stay. We have stayed at other reputable hotels in Shanghai since the pandemic began, but we often find the facilities to be limited, the rooms slightly worn, and the food and service mediocre. However, the food both in the lounge and at the breakfast buffet was very fresh and varied during our stay at the Fairmont, and the room appeared to be meticulously maintained. If you are wanting a true 5-star experience, this hotel will definitely not disappoint. Thank you again for the memorable experience!

I wish Shanghai could have a true MO
Reviewed By BingX2643WF"You are the son of the chairman. Therefore, to convince others that you have scored 100, you need to get 200" – this is a quote from a Hong Kong television series many years ago and it quite aptly sums up the situation facing the Mandarin Oriental, Shanghai. Conclusion first: as a luxurious hotel, this Mandarin Oriental was fine; but as a Forbes five-star hotel bearing the legendary title of Mandarin Oriental, this property was not yet on that level, at least during my stay. Part of the reason I love the MO brand so much is that its hotels often have a refined interior design that gently but beautifully celebrates the oriental culture. Also, one thing I respect MO hotels a lot is that they tend to pay great attention to taking care of their hardware. It is to the extent that it is not an exaggeration to state that every corner of a MO hotel would radiate a strong sense of delicate elegance. This elegance cannot just be built but also needs to be carefully maintained, like how a royal gardener takes care of a royal garden. Need not to say, MO Guangzhou designed by Tony Chi is a good example of that. It can always wow its guests when they first step into the hotel and the room. More than that, it is never those super luxurious but vulgar properties like the Wynn hotels that one typically would become increasingly annoyed if they stay in the room there for longer despite the enormous wow effect at first sight. MO Guangzhou is a place where, the longer we stay inside, the more we can appreciate it – just like a piece of fine sandalwood. I am sure MO Guangzhou is not an exception in the MO family since its neighboring sister property in Macau is more or less so. They are not like St. Regis, in which one can find the same luxuriousness no matter which city we are in. Each MO hotel is sharply distinguishable, but they all ultimately end with endearing elegance. These are why I love the MO brand so much; for its characters, refinement, and attentiveness, not to mention its hostmanship for which MO should be really proud of itself. Unfortunately, MO Shanghai does not seem very relevant to the above description. Its public area is conventional: you walk in, and you see the check-in desk on your right and multiple sets of sofas on your left. One of my favorite hotel Youtubers once said that a characteristic of MO hotels is that they always abundantly but softly fill themselves with art pieces and careful craving. Art pieces are unfortunately quite absent in the public area of this MO. Nonetheless, I could still see that the hotel did pay some attention to the crafting of its lobby; at least I did not see a large blank golden wall behind the check-in desk hanged with some clocks titled Paris, New York City, or Tokyo. Therefore, to be fair, despite being a little bit surprised that this MO merely used the very conventional interior layout and lacked the artistic element of a typical MO hotel, I could still recognize it as a member of the MO family. In terms of artistic decorations and careful crafting, the room was far more recognizable than the lobby as something MO. For instance, I can see that the hotel did pay quite a lot of attention to the details of the rooms during construction, since many parts of the room, even they were just small corners like the desk that other hotels would easily ignore, were crafted with some brief but adorable cravings. However, even though I appreciate the effort the hotel spent when building its rooms, I cannot do the same when coming to the maintenance of the room: the beautiful room was obviously undermaintained, to the extent that I could already feel the age of the hotel. A sense of history is not necessarily bad; see Peace Hotel across the river as an example. However, the sense of age in MO Shanghai was not the elegant type. It was the run-down type, the vibe one would find when entering those once glamorous but now decayed hotels (like Lisboa Hotel in Macau). The problem of under-maintenance was not only with the big furniture and the physical setting of the room, but also appeared in some small details. For instance, I was pretty surprised to find out that the papers on the office desk had already wrinkled. It is, of course, not a big problem, and I would have happily let it go if I had been in a hotel like Sofitel. However, the thing is that the hotel I was staying in was Mandarin Oriental! What do the wrinkled papers represent? It represents a housekeeping team that is not attentive enough, or, at least, not attentive according to the MO standard. Unfortunately, this MO spirit of pursuing exquisiteness is precisely the soul of a MO hotel. Without this insistence, no matter how well-built and well-designed a hotel is, it is merely an empty physical construction. At least for me, it is the most significant difference between those KOL hotels and the truly great hotels like MO and the Peninsula. Unfortunately, MO Shanghai does not seem to be close to having this pursuit of exquisiteness. Without this spirit, even a Mandarin Oriental would seem like a Sheraton. Another key reason why I struggled to feel that this property was a MO hotel was about the check-in experience. I always believe that, like the custom control at an international airport is the face of a nation, the reception desk is the face of a hotel. What a guest experiences within the short three minutes of check-in has an enormous influence on how the guest thinks about the service of that hotel. If the check-in process is a mess, no matter how excellent other departments perform, it would be hard for the guest not to have a bad impression of the hotel. Things are sometimes not that terrible; maybe what a guest experiences is not a mess but just a highly mechanized administrative process without any temperature. In that case, as a guest, I would easily come up with an impression that the hotel is not a bad one but not an exceptional one either; something like a Sheraton (I hope Sheraton would not mind me keep on quoting it in this review). Usually, MO hotels would not fall into these traps. They can often effectively make use of the magic three minutes of check-in to convince its guests that they are in one of the finest hotel brands in the world. Unfortunately, at least during my stay, the reception desk at the MO Shanghai did not seem to treasure these magic three minutes. The lady who helped me with my check-in was polite and efficient. However, I am afraid that I need to say that the whole process is more or less mechanical without much temperature. The only feeling I had after getting the room key was that the reception desk was super busy that they tried to finish everything as quickly as possible, without much regard for guests' experience. I understand that this was not necessarily a mistake of the lady who helped me with my check-in. The hotel might have been super busy that day, so she had a lot of work and needed to be quick. However, if that was the case, I hope the hotel would seriously evaluate the problem of manning. Ultimately, from a guest's perspective, all one could see was a cold, dry, and unpassionate check-in process, which I believe is not something that MO strives to achieve. I did encounter some highly respectable personnel during my stay. For instance, the lady at the spa passionately showed me the MO Shanghai fan, while Joy from the concierge desk was super helpful when I needed to print my VISA documents (thanks for even helping me to print two copies in case I lose one of them, Joy!). Also, it remains very clear in my memory the two ladies who withstood the strong winter wind of Shanghai to arrange the outdoor tables at 10 PM – a heartwarming and touching work ethic! Unfortunately, despite the fantastic works of these people, when I recall my stay at MO Shanghai, it is still difficult for me to not first pop up with an impression that it is a hotel without much temperature – I suppose it is the consequence of the loss of the magic three minutes. Overall, I would say it is tricky to comment on this Mandarin Oriental: I cannot say it is bad since it does not have any significant problems, while the MO heritage is still evident in some aspects of it. However, I cannot say that it is exceptional either since it clearly lacks some core elements of being a MO hotel. Therefore, I am afraid I need to conclude that Mandarin Oriental Shanghai is, at best, a mixed kid of MO and Sheraton instead of a pure blueblooded MO. It is a regret since Shanghai and Mandarin Oriental have such similar DNA: both are a lovely mixture of east and west. Shanghai deserves to have a true MO, like how New York City needs a St. Regis. I sincerely hope Mandarin Oriental Shanghai can fill this gap.

Birthday tour
Reviewed By PerthFoodieeeI had an unforgettable birthday yesterday at The Ritz-Carlton, Pudong, Shanghai. On the day of my stay, I was notified that I was upgraded to the Bund View Suite, and I was very excited. But the surprise from the hotel is far more than that! Here I would like to thank a team from the Cuest Recognition Officer, member namely Michael, Jessee, Barry, Chelsea and Ashin. They did an fancy job, especially Jessee, Barry and Ashin, who stayed with me the day I checked in. Ashin is a very professional, attentive and enthusiastic staff. She took me for a room tour and introduced me to the facilities and locations of the hotel. With her help, I quickly learned about the facilities of the entire hotel. In addition, Jessee, Barry and Ashin meticulously prepared a birthday cake for me and sent me birthday wishes when I had dinner at the restaurant. But It's a pity thing that I was too excited and didn't take a photo with them. Furthermore, When I got back to my room after the meal, the turn-down service was ready for me. On the bedside was a birthday present prepared by their team for me, a Ritz-Carlton lion cub and a hand-painted birthday card. What a beautiful day! Moreover, The surprise continued, when I checked out today, Jessee and Barry, on behalf of the entire team, sent me a custom room card with my name and birthday date on it. It's unbelievable, something I've never experienced in other Ritz-Carlton branches. The entire team of Michael, Jessee, Barry, Chelsea and Ashin injected new vitality into the development of The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai Pudong with their professional and enthusiastic service. At this point, I don't think they are hotel staff anymore, I think they are more like my friends! Thank them for a really wonderful birthday for me. All the love it! See u in the future!

This is a hotel I would very much like to recommend！！
Reviewed By STAR12222On my birthday last year, under the reservation of my boyfriend, we went to this hotel together, and I have to say it was a very good memory. The reason why I choose this hotel is because I have always trusted InterContinental hotels, and I will always choose InterContinental wherever I travel. The experience of this trip made me trust InterContinental even more. We checked in in the afternoon, the front desk supervisor served us very kindly, recommended the food near the hotel for us, and answered our questions about the usage time of the facilities in the hotel in great detail. After that, we went to enjoy the afternoon tea at the hotel, a little sweet is not for me, but my boyfriend liked it. Then in the afternoon, we strolled around the hotel. I have to say that the location of the hotel is good. There are many shopping malls. This is the most attractive place. You can buy everything you want, in all grades and prices. After dinner with friends in the evening, we returned to the hotel, I would like to say that the view from the room is really good, with a very beautiful night view of Shanghai. I remember sitting by the windowsill for at least 15 minutes that night to enjoy the view. The facilities in the room are very complete, the sanitation is really good, and the area is very large, which is very suitable for family travel and other activities. Another thing that makes me very happy is that the hotel's transportation is very convenient, it is very close to Shanghai Railway Station, and it takes about ten minutes to walk to the subway station. If, when can I go back to Shanghai, I think this will be my first choice.
