What we love about this stay
Ask for a higher-floor room facing the skyline — the city's neon tapestry at dusk is genuinely arresting from bed, and it costs you nothing to request at check-in. Dinner at Donghu Restaurant is the move, but go for the Eastern European dishes rather than defaulting to local cuisine; it's the kitchen's quiet strength, and the plates are more considered than you'd expect. Mornings, hit the indoor pool before nine — you'll likely have it to yourself, and the warm water resets you before Shanghai's intensity takes over. Skip the hotel coffee shop for afternoon caffeine and instead walk five minutes into the surrounding lanes for a proper local tea house. The concierge team here is genuinely sharp — lean on them for evening plans, especially lesser-known jazz spots nearby. Done right, Donghu feels like old Shanghai whispering through a modern filter.

Delightful stay I loved everything about Donghu Hotel. The room was exceptionally spacious, clean, had a beautiful decor and view ( we got a garden view). We went there during a cooler season so small details like having a heated smart toilet bidet made a huge difference in coziness. Fixtures worked perfectly and the huge bathtub was amazing to soak in.
