JW Marriott Marquis Pudong
Shanghai, China
Pudong
Vibe
Dramatic public spaces unfold beneath a soaring glass atrium, where natural light reflects across polished stone along the riverfront.
“Sculptural riverfront beacon”
A sculptural riverfront tower by SOM centered around a soaring sixty-meter atrium with backlit glass panels.
River-facing suites with floor-to-ceiling glass, Bvlgari bath amenities, dedicated house cars, and an executive club lounge.
A skyline indoor lap pool paired with a sensory Mindful Room using custom aromatherapy and soundscapes.
Along the Huangpu River south of Lujiazui, overlooking the water and Pudong skyline.
“The rooms are sleek sanctuaries high above the city, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame either the futuristic Pudong skyline or the slower rhythm of the river.”
Rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames river traffic and city towers, paired with ripple-patterned carpets and deep open-concept soaking tubs.
Wellness
An indoor heated lap pool gazes over the skyline, complemented by a dedicated sensory room with 4D soundscapes and aromatherapy.
Backstory
Debuting in 2019 as China's first Marquis property, the thirty-nine-story tower features a folded facade echoing the flowing Huangpu River.
Eat & drink
Three-story Cantonese dining at Le Manoir Ling leads up to a rooftop cocktail lounge, alongside grilled steaks at FLINT.
The neighborhood
Set on the Huangpu riverbank south of Lujiazui, the hotel borders waterfront parkland just downriver from Shanghai's financial core.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
