As a true five start hotel you would expect nothing less than the best and the Four Seasons will exceed your expectations. With a professional and efficient staff that is eager to help you, you'll find the concierge here will be extremely helpful in navigating the city. However, you don't have to navigate too far as the location of this hotel is in the heart of downtown Shanghai close to the shopping and business locations and only three blocks away from People's Square.

As impressive as the space of these rooms is the amenities. With an exquisite layout and furnishings, including walk-in dressing chambers and a magnificently comfortable bed, you'd probably be content to stop right there. However, you shouldn't especially once you've experienced the bath chamber complete with an Oriental bathing area with a monsoon rain shower, a overflowing soaking tub, and marble sinks.
