I had a mix of experiences during my recent three-night stay at the Shanghai Edition. On the positive side, the staff were consistently courteous and helpful throughout my visit. Their professionalism was a highlight, as they made a real effort to ensure that guests felt welcome. The hotel is conveniently located at the Bund, just a stone's throw away from a bunch of famous restaurants. The room design is sleek and modern, in line with the usual standards at The Edition. However, there were significant drawbacks. I had the "Do Not Disturb" sign on during my stay and did not require housekeeping. Despite this, I was awakened by a phone call from the front desk one afternoon while I was napping due to jet lag, asking if I needed housekeeping. This felt utterly ridiculous and infuriating, as I had clearly indicated my desire for privacy. Additionally, the walls in the rooms were extremely thin, which meant that I could hear every word of the music being played in my neighboring room, as well as all the noises from people coming and going in the hallway. I assume the hotel is aware of this issue, as they provide earplugs in the room. I would highly recommend using them. The rooms themselves also had some practical issues, such as the lack of a full-length mirror and a very small vanity area, which made getting ready a bit inconvenient.

Excellent hotel in the center of Shanghai. View from the roof is amazing: all of the Bund and lights of Pudong. Design is tasteful and contemporary without being over the top. Quiet luxury. Rooms are comfortable with excellent beds. Employees were super helpful, generally no problem to communicate. Highly recommended.

The Shanghai Edition has a superb location, great facilities, and a terrace with a “to die for” view, but what settles this hotel apart is its staff. Always attentive, aimed to please and ready to solve any “challenge”. Benjamin being the concierge extraordinaire,will make you feel right at home and make your stay an unforgettable one. He will give you the best recommendations and will help avoid tourists traps. He is a gem and The Shanghai Edition must keep him at all costs. P.S Their brunch is top notch and a must try. As a seasoned travel, with demanding tastes, that has had the luck to see the world, I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Shanghai 🤗

Staff are nice and attentive. Big and clean room.

Good Overall.
