How we make money .* Hotel guide · China # W Shanghai - The Bund Ultimate guide to W Shanghai - The Bund — a 5-star lifestyle hotel at 66 Lvshun Road on the North Bund with 374 rooms, indoor and outdoor WET pools, WOOBAR, AWAY spa and wide Huangpu / Lujiazui views. The design-and-nightlife pick versus classical Hyatt, Peninsula and Peace. North Bund · Shanghai · 5-star Live partner rates · no FlightLogic markup · 5-star classification W Shanghai - The Bund is the lifestyle North Bund stay: 374 design-led rooms, indoor/outdoor pools, WOOBAR and sweeping Lujiazui views. Book it for energy and views; choose Peninsula, Waldorf or Peace for classical Bund luxury, or Hyatt on the Bund for a quieter large-hotel alternative nearby. ## Property amenities - Indoor and outdoor pools - WOOBAR - AWAY spa - FIT gym - Multiple restaurants and bars - Event space - Concierge - Free Wi-Fi ## Room features - W bed - Floor-to-ceiling windows (many rooms) - Design-led interiors - Air conditioning - Mini-bar - Daily housekeeping ## Room types ## What's nearby Stated distances are measured from the property; other entries note how you'd get there. Walking times in Shanghai run longer than the distance suggests once heat, crossings and pedestrian detours are counted. ### Landmarks - North Bund waterfront At the door - Lujiazui skyline (view) Across the Huangpu - Classic Bund promenade South · taxi / walk - International Cruise Terminal Short walk ### Transit - International Cruise Terminal Metro ~2–5 min walk - PVG ~45–60 min typical - SHA ~40–55 min typical - Shanghai Railway Station Short Metro / taxi ### Shopping & food - WOOBAR / hotel restaurants On-site - WET Deck On-site - North Bund dining Short walk - Nanjing Road Taxi south ## Check-in, check-out and languages **Check-in** From 15:00 **Check-out** By 12:00 **Languages at reception** English, Mandarin Request a high floor river view if the skyline is why you booked — and ask about room location relative to WOOBAR if you need quiet. ## Who W Shanghai - The Bund suits — our verdict first W is for travellers who want Shanghai to feel theatrical — neon-leaning design, pool deck selfies and a bar programme that runs late. It is still five-star luxury, just not the hushed Peninsula kind. If you need early nights and silent corridors, read Hyatt on the Bund or a classical Bund hotel instead. ## 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. Cruise Terminal Metro is one of the closest luxury-hotel Metro drops on the river — useful when you do take rail. ## Where it sits: North Bund Photo: King of Hearts / CC BY-SA 4.0 Lvshun Road on the North Bund faces the full Lujiazui “three-piece” skyline. You are not on the colonial facade strip; you are opposite the modern postcard. That view is the product. Everything else — WOOBAR, WET Deck — orbits it. Ready to compare dates? Live rates for W Shanghai - The Bund — no FlightLogic markup. ## Rooms and facilities 374 rooms with playful W design cues and serious floor-to-ceiling windows on view categories. Some rooms put the bathtub in the view — check category photos. Ask for a quiet room away from event floors if your schedule is sleep-heavy. ## Eating at the hotel and nearby The Kitchen Table, YEN, LIQUID, WOOBAR and WET Bar cover breakfast through late night. You can stay on-property for a full social evening. Still worth one classic Bund or Yu Garden food outing for contrast. ## How it compares with our other Shanghai picks Vs Hyatt on the Bund: same North Bund zone; W is lifestyle, Hyatt is classical large Hyatt. Vs Peninsula/Waldorf/Peace: those are heritage/classical luxury further south. Vs Indigo: Indigo is quieter boutique South Bund. W wins when nightlife and design are non-negotiable. ## Booking notes and practical tips Indicative £220–£450. Bonvoy categories and suite upgrades matter here. Weekend WOOBAR noise is part of the brand — plan accordingly. No FlightLogic stay review on this page yet.
