Radisson Blu Shanghai Pudong Jinqiao

Radisson Blu Shanghai Pudong Jinqiao Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Radisson Blu Shanghai Pudong Jinqiao, you immediately sense this is a five-star property that takes itself seriously — but in a good way. The lobby has that polished, contemporary feel you’d expect from a luxury hotel, though it’s not trying too hard to impress. What struck me most was how the staff seemed genuinely pleased to see guests arrive, which honestly isn’t always a given at high-end places in Shanghai.

The Jinqiao Advantage

Here’s what most people don’t realize about staying in Jinqiao — you’re actually in one of Pudong’s more livable neighborhoods, away from the tourist chaos but still well-connected. The hotel sits on Jinhai Road, and while that might not mean much if you’re visiting for the first time, locals know this area has character. You’ve got authentic local eateries within walking distance, plus the metro connections are solid when you want to head into central Shanghai. It’s where business travelers who know the city actually prefer to stay.

Rooms That Actually Work

My room was spacious by Shanghai standards — and I mean genuinely spacious, not just “well, it’s bigger than a closet” spacious. The design leans modern without being cold, and you know what really impressed me? The blackout curtains actually worked properly. Small thing, but when you’re dealing with jet lag, it matters. The bathroom felt luxurious with marble finishes and a rainfall shower that had proper water pressure — something you can’t take for granted everywhere in the city.

Breakfast Worth Waking Up For

The breakfast spread here is honestly one of the better hotel offerings I’ve experienced in Shanghai. They do Continental, Asian, and American options, but it’s the execution that sets it apart from other luxury hotels. The congee station is particularly good — they clearly understand their local clientele. The coffee is decent (not amazing, but solid), and the fresh fruit selection changes seasonally. I actually found myself looking forward to breakfast each morning, which doesn’t always happen at hotel buffets.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about this place is how it balances luxury with practicality. The parking is free, which might seem minor until you realize how rare that is for quality hotels in Shanghai. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the atmosphere here — there’s something about the service level and room quality that creates a genuinely relaxing environment. The restaurant on-site is reliable for dinner when you don’t feel like venturing out, and the location means you can experience a more authentic side of Shanghai while still having easy access to the main attractions. It’s the kind of place where business travelers become repeat guests, and honestly, that tells you everything you need to know about the consistency.

The concierge service in Shanghai arranges private Bund yacht charters, behind-closed-doors tea ceremonies, and Art Deco rooftop suppers.

• Xiaojie from United States – 5 September 2023 (9/10)

  The property offers couple things that delighted my daughter and us. The first is the indoor swimming pool and it opens till 9:30pm. The second is at the lobby bar they offer fishing which means we get to drink while she gets to play. Also there are plenty of food vendors options right around the hotel due to 3 nearby college campuses. It was full of young energies when we took a walk during our one night stay.
  
  What could be improved: The location is not in the center but closer to PVG than to Hongqiao airport.

• Amir from Germany – 10 August 2023 (8/10)

  The Restaurant staff were very kindly mad cooked me every day western Omelett.
