We stayed in a club level room for six nights and this hotel made Shanghai much more enjoyable for us. As first time travelers (from the US) to China, we suffered from culture shock at times while we were in Shanghai, but it was always a pleasure to come back to the Renaissance. Our room was comfortable and fairly modern.... more

I was here at the tail end of a 2 week business trip. The hotel is quite near our office here so a logical choice. The room was very nice - extra comfy bed (best one on the trip) with plenty of pillows. The bathroom amenities all had an Asian smell (lemongrass) which was really nice as well. The gym... more

The Sushi restaurant while... more

The breakfast buffet was excellent with western, eastern and some 'in between' dishes. The location is a bit more remote from the Bund, but the taxis are cheeep, and getting around with signs in both... more

comfortable bed, good/friendly staff, small room, small bath, shower temperature changes every 1 minute, long taxi queue during commute hours (there is no public transportation around, and with its location, you pretty much have to take taxi anywhere to/from the hotel.) more
