Star Wave Hotel  

In Shanghai — choose a luxe North Bund address opposite the North Bund Green Land or a city‑edge stay about 5 km from downtown. Nearby icons include Jin Mao Tower, the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Shanghai Natural Wild Insect Kingdom, so sightseeing is easy.

Old‑Shanghai and European‑style 5‑star luxury blends with warmly decorated rooms; the property offers 140 rooms and 11 suites with in‑room TVs. Family‑friendly touches include playrooms for kids and accessible features such as elevators. Practical extras like laundry, press services and safe‑deposit boxes keep travel smooth.

Spa and wellness are a focus: an L Spa and fitness center with an indoor pool, an "Energy Crystal" steam room, Japanese‑style sauna, twin hot‑and‑cold Jacuzzis and nine private spa rooms. There’s a rooftop bar, multiple lounges and a café, plus on‑site parking and free Wi‑Fi — wake up to North Bund Green Land views if you’re on that side.

A 420 sq m Grand Ballroom and seven separate meeting rooms host events for up to 590 guests, with tailor‑made menus and fine wines. Free Wi‑Fi and flexible event spaces support conferences and private functions.

Four high‑end restaurants serve a mix of flavors: Crystal Café, a Tainan Tan‑Tsu‑Mien seafood spot, Sho‑u To Japanese and Zan teppanyaki. Four bars include a top‑floor La Riva Bar, plus The Lobby Lounge, Churchill Cigar Bar and the Old Captain Bar in a renovated 1932 villa — plenty of options for cocktails and regional seafood and Japanese cuisine.
