I booked a room for one week (between the time I arrived in Shanghai and moved into a permanent residence). After the first day there, I was seriously reconsidering my decision to leave so soon (or at all).
The St. Regis is a luxury, 5-star hotel in PuDong - the new part of Shanghai. If you don't necessarily need to be in PuXi (the old city across the river), or if you don't mind a little longer cab ride to meetings in PuXi, then my advice is stay here and nowhere else.
The rooms are comfortable, and the desks even have an Aeron chair (nice touch). The bathrooms are plush (see the photo). And, best of all, you have access to your own personal 24-hour valet that will do anything (within reason) at any hour of the day or night.
I stayed in a club-level room (recommended) and received complimentary breakfast and afternoon h'ors d'oeuvres and cocktails overlooking the city from the 39th floor from 5:30-7:30pm.
I didn't use the spa service, gym, or pool, but from what I heard, these are also excellent. The St. Regis is a tad pricey, but if you have some extra cash available (or are travelling on a business acount) do yourself a favor and stay here.
Unique Qualities: 24 hour valet service.
Aeron chairs.
Complimentary DSL connection.
