The Regent Shanghai (Longzhimeng Lijing Dajiudian)

Frommer's Review

Much more elegant inside than its jagged glass exterior suggests, the 53-story Regent brings a welcome dose of luxury to the western part of Shanghai. The atrium lobby with its sweeping staircases and curved ceilings is one of the sleekest around. Rooms, some of the largest in town, encourage indulgence, with wonderful city views and all modern amenities including comfortable beds, 42-inch plasma screen television, bedside control of lights and curtains, and free broadband Internet access. Bathrooms are modern and equipped with rainforest showers. The hotel also boasts a plethora of fine dining options, a Guerlain Spa, and Shanghai's biggest indoor pool. Still comparatively new at press time, the hotel was ironing out a few remaining rough edges, but service is coming along nicely. Though there's not much of interest for the tourist within walking distance, the main sights are only a 10- to 15-minute taxi ride away, and the Regent is as luxurious a refuge as any to repair to after a hard day of sightseeing.
