Atour S Hotel Lujiazui Oriental Pearl Shanghai

Atour S Hotel Lujiazui Oriental Pearl Shanghai Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Atour S Hotel Lujiazui Oriental Pearl Shanghai, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical business hotel — there’s something more refined here. The lobby has this sleek, contemporary feel that screams modern five-star luxury without being intimidating. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of Pudong’s financial district, so the polished atmosphere makes perfect sense. The staff greets you with that perfect balance of professionalism and warmth that you hope for but don’t always get in Shanghai.

Location Magic

Honestly, the location on Taolin Road is pretty spectacular — you’re walking distance from the Oriental Pearl Tower (hence the name), and the whole Lujiazui skyline is basically your backyard. What I love about this spot is that you get all the energy of Shanghai’s financial heart, but Taolin Road itself isn’t completely chaotic. You know what’s really convenient? The metro connections are solid, so getting to the Bund or anywhere else in the city is actually straightforward. Couples seem to particularly love this area — there’s something romantic about having those iconic tower views right outside your window.

The Room Experience

The room design hits that sweet spot between business-friendly and genuinely comfortable. Floor-to-ceiling windows are the real star here — I spent way too much time just staring out at the cityscape, especially at night when everything lights up. The beds are properly luxurious (you sink in just enough), and the bathroom feels spacious by Shanghai standards. Tech-wise, everything works smoothly — good WiFi, plenty of charging spots, and the air conditioning actually keeps up with Shanghai’s humidity, which is no small feat.

Dining and Amenities

The hotel restaurant serves a mix of international and local dishes that’s better than you’d expect — not groundbreaking, but solid quality with some interesting Shanghai twists. Breakfast has good variety, though it gets busy during peak hours (pro tip: go slightly early or late). The fitness center and spa facilities are well-maintained, and there’s something satisfying about working out with those Pudong views. Parking is available, which is actually a big deal in this part of the city, though most guests probably won’t need it given the metro access.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it balances luxury with practicality — you get the five-star treatment without feeling like you’re paying for unnecessary frills. The location consistently gets rave reviews because you’re genuinely in the thick of things, but the hotel itself provides a calm retreat from the city’s intensity. Recent guests keep mentioning how the staff goes out of their way to help with everything from restaurant recommendations to navigation tips. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re experiencing Shanghai properly — not just staying somewhere to sleep, but actually being part of the city’s rhythm.

The luxury concierge service in Shanghai secures couture shopping previews, chef’s table xiaolongbao tastings, and helicopter loops over Pudong.
