W Hotel is a global modern luxury fashion lifestyle brand owned by Starwood, and its official positioning is the "Life stye" brand, which is generally classified as a large-scale Boutique hotel route in the industry, and is a sister brand of luxury hotels such as St. Regis, Westin, and Sheraton. The W hotel on the North Bund in Hongkou is the first store in Shanghai and the second in mainland China (the first store in mainland China opened in Guangzhou in 2013).
Opened in 2017, W Shanghai on the Bund is located on the emerging North Bund in Puxi, next to the banks of the Huangpu River, where guests can take a walk along the river and enjoy views of the Pudong skyline and the Oriental Pearl Tower. It is a 10-minute walk from the Bund and Waibaidu Bridge, a 5-minute drive from tourist attractions such as the City God Temple, People's Square and West Nanjing Road, a 35-minute drive from Hongqiao International Airport and a 45-minute drive from Pudong International Airport.
With 374 guest rooms and suites, W on the Bund is a sister brand that is priced at The St. Regis Shanghai Jing'an. The building is designed with a curved structure, and almost every room has a wide view of both sides of the Huangpu River, except for the two Cool Corner rooms in the corner. The rooms are decorated in blue and orange, while the suites are red, and when you enter the room, you can see the huge Shanghai xiaolongbao and chopstick-shaped ornaments on the bed, which is very interesting.
As a boutique five-star hotel, the rooms are equipped with a sound system, 55-inch LED remote control TV, iron and ironing board, safe, umbrella, feather pillow and a variety of pillow options, a separate bathtub, an in-room jacuzzi, a bathroom telephone, Bliss® toiletries, a refrigerator, an espresso machine, etc. W on the Bund is also a pet-friendly hotel, and W pet beds are available for pets upon request.
Unlike other brands on the list, which are luxurious, elegant and even retro, W Shanghai on the Bund retains its high-end positioning, but also shows youth, vitality and fashion everywhere. The interior of the Signature Restaurant features an all-black industrial roof, full of New York bistrol look. WOOBAR's W Urban Elements cocktail is the perfect first step to getting to know W on the Bund. In Shanghai, a city where winter is cold and summer is hot, W Hotel's outdoor pool is a commendable sight, but taking a dip in the city while taking in the city is also a unique experience that no other hotel in Shanghai can have. However, there are often non-guests who come to take pictures, which will affect the experience of hotel guests. There is the WET® bar right next to the pool, and there is also a juicy bar in the hotel, and there are three bars at the same time, which is a rarity among five-star hotels.
It is worth mentioning that most of the facilities in the hotel are named after W, the swimming pool is called WET, the service is called WHATEVER/WHENEVER, the bar is called WOO BAR, the experience center is called WISH WORKSHOP, the spa is called AWAY, and the business center is called WIRED.
Don't worry, the meeting interior of W Hotel does not take the trendy and cool route, but the effect is more dignified and dignified. WITH A TOTAL OF 5,800 SQUARE METERS OF EVENT SPACE, INCLUDING THE 2,050 SQUARE METER GREAT ROOM, ONE OF THE LARGEST BALLROOMS IN THE CITY, AND 12 FUNCTION ROOMS WITH NATURAL LIGHT, ALL EQUIPPED WITH HIGH-END AUDIOVISUAL SYSTEMS, W Shanghai on the Bund is the perfect meeting venue.
If you have the opportunity to visit, you must not miss the restrooms of W Hotel, which is the culmination of W on the Bund's obsession with gold in design, and the golden lights are reflected by multi-angle glass and floral pearlescent wallpaper, giving people a visual experience of drunken gold.
