W Shanghai - The Bund

We celebrated our 5th anniversary at W Shanghai. The W Insider and the staff made us feel very special, spoiling us with little surprises. The breakfast is a must, it's absolutely delicious.

Our queen size bedroom was really big and modern with nice bathroom (shower and bathtub), and a big sofa all along the windows with a good view. There is an outside AND inside swimming pool with jacuzzi. The bar and restaurant both serve really good food, breakfast is amazing with nearly anything you can wish to eat in the morning. Finally, the view over the Shanghai Skyline is one of the most breathtaking I have seen.

A bit pricey but it is finally really worth it when you live the experience.

I visited W hotel the second time, this time with my kids. The rooms are spacious, very stylish, with a great view and the hotel is sited in a perfect spot. The outdoor and indoor pool area is great the relax for adults and kids the same way. There is enough space for everyone. The view from the outdoor pool is fantastic. In the evening you could have a nice dinner in The Kitchen Table with a fantastic view on the business district of Shanghai (TV tower, bottle opener, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai tower, and so on). The food is delicious, the staff always friendly and helpful. The variety at the breakfast buffet is phenomenal, you could already spend half a day there. Summarized, it is an absolutely great place to stay, but you also have to pay for it.

That I could not stay some more nights longer...

The room was super comfy with all the amenities you would expect. The view from our room was great as was the location near a mall for quick and easy meals. Location was perfect for our needs. The outdoor pool was very nice.

I did not like the timing for the outdoor pool. Open at 10:00 and closed at 6:00pm. Would have been nice to go down earlier and come back in the evening when the lights were on across the river.
