Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan

Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan sits on the southern stretch of Shanghai’s new Bund, in the vibrant Qiantan District of Pudong and on the opposite side of the Huangpu River from Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund. The urban riverfront retreat marks the brand’s second property in Shanghai and enjoys a rare balance of prime riverfront views, direct access to Qiantan Park and the waterfront promenade of Qiantan Youcheng Park, and an immersive connection to nature. Just a step removed from the city’s busiest districts, the hotel is a serene urban retreat that feels worlds apart in pace against the city’s cosmopolitan energy. It remains minutes away from everything that matters, as a place to switch off without disconnecting. Designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) and Cheng Chung Design (CCD), Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan draws inspiration from the city’s Art Deco heritage, expressed through a modern lens. The result is a space that feels both contemporary and timeless — a tranquil oasis in the heart of the city. Throughout the hotel, every detail is refined and intentional. Iconic brand elements such as the reimagined peacock motif and sail-inspired details that evoke the hotel’s riverfront location create a distinct sense of place. Chinese craftsmanship and design are celebrated with subtlety and style, creating a dynamic dialogue between East and West, heritage and contemporary. The hotel offers 204 expansive rooms and suites starting at 52 square meters, featuring panoramic river views and generous balconies. Select suites feature outdoor jacuzzis, creating private, intimate spaces for guests to unwind against a backdrop of Shanghai’s skyline.
