The Wanda Reign on the Bund gets the highest marks for me. Where to begin? First, the location is incredible. It is right across the street from the Bund. It is also right across the street from a park and a very short walk to Yu Yuan Garden and Bazaar. So much beauty, good food and shopping. Next the rooms are very luxury, with all the appointments and comfort of a five star offering. Importantly, I would suggest reserving a room with a river view to make it even better. The Shanghai skyline from across the river is one of the best urban landscapes in the world, especially at night. If you don't follow my suggestion, take advantage of the indoor/outdoor roof deck bar on the 21st floor, which is a perfect place for a night cap. The skyline across the river stays lit until 11 pm. ||Another suggestion from our experience is to take advantage of the breakfast offering. We took breakfast with our reservation and this was also an excellent choice with both Chinese and Western deliciousness in abundance. This was a truly incredible way to start the day with temptations so strong that we ended being quite devoted to it even though we don't usually indulge in breakfast at home. | |Lastly, I would highlight a very attentive, capable and caring staff that really were of top quality, but also literally saved our trip. ||When we took an airport taxi from our hotel, I to my great horror, dropped my passport on the floor of the taxi, where it stayed after we were dropped off. We got in to the hotel and quickly realized this potentially catastrophic problem. We notified the front desk, which worked with security and the Concierge with only the knowledge that our cab was light blue and of course that we just arrived. The results were absolutely astonishing. The staff identified the taxi company within minutes, the driver confirmed finding the passport within 10 minutes and the passport was returned safely back at the hotel within 30 minutes. Instead of checking in to the hotel we left our bags, went out to dinner knowing all was well with the passport in transit. When we returned we were greeted by our Concierge and reunited with my passport. Crisis averted. || One important side note is that the Concierge post at this hotel is a standing one adjacent to the main entryway to the hotel, which is a little unusual, but very useful for going outside to insure your transportation leaving the hotel is well positioned to get you exactly where you want to be.||I want to personally express my gratitude with this review again to the Wanda Reign team from help making my family's stay in Shanghai such a wonderful adventure. We could not have been happier.
