We are fortunate to have Marriott titanium and Hilton diamond so we typically plan our stays around these two mega hotel chains. This time though, I took advantage of a Capital One Premier Collection Hotel and Resorts promotion last October and made a booking for the Regent Shanghai Pudong for the following July. Regent is part of the IHG family and I realize my platinum status probably won't go too far on upgrade requests. I want to give special thanks to Robin Wu and Sheldon Bao for their excellent communication before our departure and for a Wow factor in Shanghai. We paid approximately 800 CNY for an upgrade to the Pearl Tower Suite and the view was simply priceless!!! Our family just had afternoon tea the previous day at the Shanghai Tower (highly recommended to avoid the crowd) on a cloudy/rainy day and the visibility was not the greatest. In our opinion, we preferred the sight of the Pearl and Shanghai Tower right in front of us from the comfort of the hotel room even more. I also booked another room with my IHG points for my mom and she was impressed with the size and quality of the accommodation!!! Our kids took advantage of the swimming pool and the giant whirlpool in the afternoon and had a fantastic time to cool off from the hot weather outside. Unfortunately, our flight left early the next morning so we didn't get a chance to try out the breakfast. Again, we appreciate the efforts of Robin, Sheldon, and the rest of the fantastic staff for an outstanding and memorable stay!!!

(posted at Trip.com as well) Me and my girlfriend booked a one night stay at the Regent Pudong for her birthday. I would like to start off by saying Robin was fantastic from start to finish. I emailed several hotels for more information on spa and dietary information but Regent was the only one that got back to me thanks to Robin. He was also very helpful and added some nice touches to our stay during check in.  We stayed at the King Club Regent room with the Pearl view. Needless to say, the view was amazing and the decor and details were beautiful. The free minibar had decent offering. There were many amenities but no sanitary pads. Spa was amazing with a great view. We booked the Legend Reborn massage and we enjoyed it lot, the pressure was just right. They arranged an English speaking masseuse for my girlfriend which was a nice touch. The only disappointment that we had was that both the sauna and steam room was not working in the female spa section. As we stayed in the club room, we enjoyed afternoon tea in the club lounge. The view was once again, beautiful but there weren't many vegan options. However, one positive was that all the food had dietary information labeled which is hard to find in China. The breakfast was fantastic, there were many options from Asian to Western cuisines, all of which were very tasty! Again, dietary information was there for each dishes. The only feedback is that some food was mislabeled as vegan despite having egg/diary in them!  Service was a highlight; from check in, afternoon tea, breakfast, the spa and check out. The staff were friendly, helpful and spoke good English and have great attention to detail. Overall, I would recommend Regent Pudong and would definitely stay again.

“The food is not as stunning as the view. I was disappointed that this hotel doesnt seem to meet Regent standards at all.”

This hotel has stunning view of the Oriental Pearl tower. That’s all about it. Language barrier was there for sure. Upon check-in, I felt like my check-in process was a bit bumpy and rushed.

This hotel has stunning view of the Oriental Pearl tower. That’s all about it. Language barrier was there for sure. Upon check-in, I felt like my check-in process was a bit bumpy and rushed. I was the only one who was at the reception. I mean, front office was okay. But, communication at restaurants was problematic. And the food was one of the most bland tasting food I’ve ever had at a 5 starred hotel. Breakfast was meh so was the fine Cantonese restaurant called Shangxi. In a nutshell, food here was almost catastrophic. There was another thing that bothered me during the stay was the smoke. There was a strong small of the cigarette. Super unpleasant. I really dont think this Regent Shanghai Pudong meets the standards at all. Do I want to come again? I will consider somewhere else.
