JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Shanghai Pudong

On Pudong’s riverfront in Shanghai, this luxury five-star hotel sits beside the Huangpu River and Lujiazui business district. It’s minutes from Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai Tower, Oriental Pearl Tower, The Bund, Yu Garden and the Mercedes Benz Arena — ideal for business and skyline-chasing city breaks.

Designed by SOM with a sleek postmodern edge, the property delivers understated luxury across about 514 rooms. Expect plush Simmons mattresses, goose-feather duvets, 55-inch flat screens, Nespresso machines, minibars and bathrooms with separate deep-soaking tubs and rainfall showers. Rooms often frame river or skyline views against a modern, industrial-chic backdrop.

Unwind at a full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, or hit the 24-hour health club and indoor pool for a workout any time. Sip cocktails at a rooftop bar with Huangpu River views, sing at karaoke, fire up a barbecue in the outdoor area or order 24-hour room service — plus concierge and wedding services on site. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and the spa, Jacuzzi and steaming rooms add extra chill.
