The Four Seasons

The Four Seasons Review

With palm trees, fountains, and golden-hued marble as warm as sunshine, the lobby of the Four Seasons establishes the hotel's theme as an elegant oasis in bustling downtown Puxi. Opened in 2002, this 37-story luxury hotel caters to its largely business clientele. It has impeccable service, a 24-hour business center, a gym, and butler service. The spacious rooms—just 12 to 15 per floor—include DVD/CD players, flat-screen TVs, safes big enough for a laptop, and marble showers and tubs (one of each). Nanjing Road and the Shanghai Museum are within a 10-minute walk, but there are convincing reasons to stay in: the Jazz 37 club; the exceptional Si Ji Xuan Cantonese restaurant; and you don't want to miss one of the spa's indulgent Balinese treatments.
