Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai
As a true MO fan, this stay once again reminded me why Mandarin Oriental remains so special and consistently sets itself apart.
We stayed in the Harbour City Suite (67 sqm, North Bund River View) outer - connected to the Club Mandarin River View King Room (61 sqm), and both were absolutely flawless. The layouts are beautifully designed, every detail is thoughtfully considered, and the sense of space is perfect.
The North Bund River view is simply stunning, truly a view like no other. Without a doubt, this is a must-stay hotel when in Shanghai.
Because we booked both the Harbour Suite and a Club room, we enjoyed full access to the Club Lounge located on the 2nd floor, which elevated the experience even further. We were able to check in and check out in complete privacy, which was seamless and discreet. The lounge itself is excellent, offering breakfast, afternoon tea, and multiple food and beverage presentations throughout the day exclusively for Club guests.
The concierge service was outstanding. Airport transportation was perfectly arranged, and we booked the Elite Airport VIP service for our return trip. However I MUST say the departure Elite Airport service was an impressive experience that made the entire airport process smooth, efficient, and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone who values comfort and time.
The concierge team was also reliable and efficient when it came to restaurant reservations and zoo bookings, handling everything with ease and professionalism in a very short timeframe.
As an MO fan, the additional daily benefits truly make a difference — including services such as laundry and other thoughtful privileges that reflect Mandarin Oriental’s attention to detail and guest care. If you aren’t a member yet, I recommend you become one :)
Overall, this stay perfectly demonstrates why Mandarin Oriental continues to stand out. An exceptional experience in Shanghai, and one we would happily repeat.
Thank you MOPUD team, can’t wait to visit you again!
