The Waterhouse is fantastic. After staying in so many hotels this year it truly is a unique and well located hotel. We avoided any trouble at all in finding the place and were dropped right to the door. The staff welcomed us and informed us that we had been upgraded to a view of the river which looked up towards... More

why not 5 green dots? My driver took ages to find..we drove round the block so many times I forgot.. put some larger signs up...I understand "rough LUX" design but this was taking it to the next level.. I have stayed at it's brother hotel in London last month and wanted to see what its owners had come up with... More

We have been coming to eat at Table No. 1 for some time and I took my wife here for an in-town getaway. The rooms are fantastic, the roof bar is one of the best in town, and Table No. 1 only gets better every time we go. Most Western food in Shanghai is overpriced and very Mediocre. Table No.... More

This hotel is a stark difference from any other hotels I've stayed in in Shanghai. At first glance, you wouldn't even notice that it's a hotel. The exterior looks like an old warehouse with little or no touch up at all (it's intentional). Love the view and the layout of my room. Although not huge in size, with a raised... More

I went to Shanghai last week and stay there for 1 week in 3 hotels. This hotel was the most expensive rate among 3 hotels ( all 4-5 stars ) and also I choose to stay in River suite because I think it must have the view of the river, as the name of the room. First of all, when... More

I was there for 4 days for work, and loved Room 31 that I was given. The design of not just the room, but the entire hotel is just fascinating. Loved that the building used to be a warehouse for the Japanese in the 1930s. Its very raw but feels like its telling a story. Will definitely be back!

There are three main draws for the Waterhouse: first, its achingly post-industrial aesthetic, rather like a miner wearing Prada, second, its ultraglam rooftap bar, and third, its restaurant. We can't report much on the restaurant other than to say that the breakfast is excellent. The L-shaped roof bar is magnificent -- a main platform for standing (a bit chilly from... More

+ Welcome & check in: Warm welcome, fast + VERY cool design, even the details (printed materials, e.g. tooth paste packaging, hotel details, hotel directory card, hotel slippers packaging, ...) + Added value: Welcome cookies in room, free coffee and drinks in mini bar, free wifi + Good a la carte breakfast in restaurant - Room was a little bit...

the hotel is in a up and coming neighborhood, South Bund across the street from the cool docks. The cabbie had no idea why I would want to stay here. the team behind this project did a good job renovating this old building, rooms and public areas were bright, cheerful and hip. My room (18a) was clean and well designed... More
