It is less “resort campus” than Shangri-La and less “tower spire fantasy” than Grand Hyatt — more polished urban luxury. Skip it if you specifically want to sleep on the Bund promenade. ## Getting there from PVG and SHA Photo: Lloyd Tudor / CC BY-SA 4.0 From PVG: Maglev to Longyang Road then Metro Line 2 toward the city, or a taxi/Didi door to door — typically 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and exact address. From SHA Hongqiao, Metro Line 2 is usually the backbone; finish with a short walk or taxi. Line 2 to Lujiazui is as clean as Shanghai airport rail gets for a luxury hotel drop-off. ## Where it sits: Lujiazui Photo: King of Hearts / CC BY-SA 4.0 Century Avenue at IFC is the financial district’s front row — malls, Metro and skyline bars. The Bund is the view and a short hop, not the pavement outside. Ideal when meetings and shopping stay in Pudong. Ready to compare dates?

Expect Ritz-Carlton bathroom and bedding standards; pay for the view if that is why you chose Pudong. Flair is the social signature — book peak sunset slots. ## Eating at the hotel and nearby Hotel restaurants plus IFC’s deep dining bench mean you rarely need a taxi for dinner. Cross the river when you want promenade atmosphere. Club Lounge breakfast is the stress-free option on eligible rates. ## How it compares with our other Shanghai picks Vs Grand Hyatt: Ritz is IFC-integrated luxury; Hyatt is Jin Mao floors. Vs Shangri-La/Kempinski: those offer bigger wellness campuses. Vs Peninsula/Waldorf/Peace: those are Bund/Puxi heritage. Ritz wins for IFC + Club Lounge convenience. ## Booking notes and practical tips Indicative £280–£550. Bonvoy elite benefits apply.
