Who The Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong suits — our verdict first
Ritz-Carlton Pudong suits travellers who want Marriott luxury polish plugged straight into IFC Mall and Lujiazui Metro. It is less “resort campus” than Shangri-La and less “tower spire fantasy” than Grand Hyatt — more polished urban luxury.
Skip it if you specifically want to sleep on the Bund promenade.
Getting there from PVG and SHA
From PVG: Maglev to Longyang Road then Metro Line 2 toward the city, or a taxi/Didi door to door — typically 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and exact address. From SHA Hongqiao, Metro Line 2 is usually the backbone; finish with a short walk or taxi.
Line 2 to Lujiazui is as clean as Shanghai airport rail gets for a luxury hotel drop-off.
Where it sits: Lujiazui
Century Avenue at IFC is the financial district’s front row — malls, Metro and skyline bars. The Bund is the view and a short hop, not the pavement outside.
Ideal when meetings and shopping stay in Pudong.
