“Great place to overnight”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

I have stayed at the Indigo three times on separate layovers, and it is a great hotel. The staff is very helpful, and attentive. The design of the hotel is very cool although the rooms are a little on the small size for the price, and the flooring is showing some wear. I really liked the Ipod dock and Bose stereo. The Quay breakfast is excellent and Char is good, but very pricy. The best part about this hotel is the rooftop bar with an amazing view down the Bund. The location is also very good for a nice walk down the boardwalk of the Bund.

Room Tip: A Bund view room is a must.

“Probably the best prince/quality ratio in Shanghai”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

Stayed there for the second time, for business reasons (but I would definitely go there if I had to go back in couple/family).

View is stunning, position is great although you're pretty far from Metro stations (but taxi is so cheap that you won't really care). You're by the Huangpu river and you'll need to walk 15-20 min to reach the famous Peace Hotel/Bank of China buildings (or a 3-4 min taxi ride - 14 RMB).
There was free internet in the whole building, staff was friendly and really helpful, breakfast is really good (both buffet and menu) and the 6th floor's restaurant was really good for dinner although it was a bit expensive compared to what you can find in Shanghai.

Room was really good, clean and well furnished. You can hear the traffic from time to time at night if you have a old-city view room but nothing disturbing.

From Pudong Int. Airport you can either take the taxi (45-60min depending on the traffic) or take the MagLev (50 RMB) and then the taxi until the Hotel (30 RMB - max 45 min in total).

Will definitely go back there again.

P.S. Taxi drivers don't speak/read English so don't forget to bring all your destinations written in Chinese/a guide with locations in Chinese, otherwise as people at the reception / door keeper to speak to the driver for you.

“Impeccable service, great design and breathtaking views”

Indigo hit the spot. Friendly staff. Great unique and inspiring design. I loved the hot chocolate at the front desk on offer from when you came in from the cold. Sensational dining in both the quay cafe and rooftop restaurant Char. Do yourself a favor an and awake a break from the cookie cutter hotels and give Indigo Shanghai a go. Well worth every cent.

Hi WinHanyu,

Your comments are really appreciated and reinforce to the Indigo team that we are doing something unique.....thank you!

We particularly liked that you felt we are anything but a "cookie cutter" hotel. We will continue to focus on service that will make our guests feel a sense of delight.

Given that it snowed in Shanghai yesterday we will ensure the hot chocolate stays at the front desk for a while !

Very best from the Hotel Indigo team

“Perfect weekend escape!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012 via mobile

We flew to Shanghai from HK for a long weekend getaway. Hotel Indigo was perfect.
Great location right on the river with views over the Bund. Puxi and the. new metropolis of Pudong.
Beautifully designed lobby.
Great staff (even security staff smiled!)
Rooms comfortable and big - great space for two. Stunning design as well

A must stay when in Shanghai and a great deal
We will be back and look forward in returning soon!
