The hotel is just OK, pretty much what you would expect of a 4-star hotel. The service levels in China are not very high, so don't expect much service at any hotel; you can read my reviews of other hotels in China on here. We didn't find the elevators to be confusing at all, anyone with a little common sense... more

I decided to try out Le Royal Meridien this time around due to several recommendations from friends. I usually stay in the Westin Bund center. So, here it is.... Pros 1) SUPER GREAT LOCATION...smack in the center of People's square and has some great restaurants and stores just at the base of the hotel. 2) Really stylish rooms...very comfortable beds.... more

I travel to Shanghai from tiem to time - I have stayed in Pudong and on the Bund, but this time one of my colleagues, Joe Sloboda decided to "Priceline" a hotel in the area around Nanjing Road - what we got was Le Royal Meridien and it was absolutely the best hotel I have ever stayed in while in... more

We just spent 5 great nights at the Royal Meridien in a room with the most astonishing view. We weren't in a Club room but booked a Grand Deluxe room with a Bund view.... The 37th floor room was spacious, and very comfortable with a floor to ceiling window that had a panoramic view up Nanjing Rd and to the... more

Just spend two nights at the Le Royal Meridien Shanghai as one of my stops on my recent China trip. Great location with easy access to the main walking street in the center of town and the Bund. I booked a room which had access to the Executive Lounge. Best Choice Ever and money well spent! Great Food & Drinks... more

We're not your usual 5-star hotel clients, we were just in the middle of a bit of a global holiday, but a friend of my partner's dad graciously put us up in this hotel for a couple of nights while we were in Shanghai. Over the past few weeks we've slept on people's couches in Milan, 1-star hotels in Paris... more

The decor was not what we'd expected. It was modern with mirror galore, along the hallways and in elevators. To get to the lobby, you had to take an elevator from the street entrance. Once inside the elevator, you could hear the chirping of birds, to relaxe and calm or to annoy guests? At the lobby level, you had to... more

We were fortunate enough to have a "free weekend night" earned through the Starwood Preferred Guest promotion earlier in the summer of 2009. Given that we planned our Shanghai trip long before the actual date, we booked the free night at le Meridien without hesitation. I am not sure if I would the full price for this hotel. This was... more

I stayed here 2 years ago after deciding to treat myself to a luxury hotel for once. I wasn't disappointed. The hotel was amazing, it was stunning inside. The room was by far the best hotel room I've ever been in. So many features, from being able to watch the enormous swivelling TV from anywhere in the room (including bathroom)... more
