As the gateway to Xintiandi, the lifestyle and entertainment hub of Shanghai, The Langham, Shanghai, Xintiandi is ideally located adjacent to the retail utopia of Huaihai Road, surrounded by various trendy clubs, glamorous international restaurants and designer boutiques. Boasting Chuan Spa, an indoor pool and gourmet cuisine across several stylish restaurants, this property is a 1-minute stroll from South Huangpi Road Subway Station (Line 1), which provides easy access to the top tourist attractions in Shanghai. I loved everything about this hotel. It was in an excellent location, across Xintiandi where there was no shortage of restaurant options. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, there was an array of amenities, the shower was amazing. The heated toilet seat has forever changed me. As this was a work trip, i was grateful for the many charging points, and the stationery that was available in-room. Breakfast was excellent, there was a very good and healthy variety.

Popular points of interest near J Hotel, Shanghai Tower - Above All Else, Overlooking the Bund include Shanghai World Financial Centre SWFC, Oriental Pearl Tower and Superbrand Shopping Mall Shanghai. Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is 19 km away. The J Hotel Shanghai Tower delivers a truly elevated experience, both literally and figuratively. My upgraded Stateroom was a showcase of refined modern luxury, with a glossy dark floor, cream and gold accents, a superbly comfortable bed, and an elegant bathroom featuring a marble-bench rain shower and sculptural bathtub. Every detail was thoughtfully considered – from the Nespresso machine and premium minibar to whisper-quiet climate control and fully electronic curtains and lighting. The views over the Huangpu River and Shanghai’s skyline, especially by day, were simply breathtaking. Breakfast was outstanding, combining a refined buffet with à la carte options, fresh berries, multiple nut varieties, unsweetened yoghurt, and exceptional service. Staff throughout the stay were attentive without intrusion, anticipating needs before they were voiced. The bar offered spectacular river views, superb cocktails, and a refined atmosphere once the live music began. A takeaway breakfast box prepared for my early departure was beautifully presented and freshly made – a wonderful gesture.
