A breathtaking three-tiered cantilevered glass staircase, striking artwork, lush greenery and an airy spaciousness bathed in natural light, provide a welcoming ambience at The Westin Shanghai.

Opened in October 2002, it is one of the city's newest 5-star international hotels, and the preferred choice of many, for its matchless array of dining, accommodation, conference, entertainment and recreation facilities.

Located within the prestigious Bund Center, one of Shanghai's largest and most modern integrated corporate, residential and hotel developments, The Westin Shanghai is just a 5-minute walk from the historical Bund waterfront. Ideally placed in the heart of this pulsating city, guests enjoy easy access to commercial cultural and shopping hubs, as well as to the airports in Puxi and Pudong.

Guest comfort reigns supreme at The Westin Shanghai. Each of the 301 large, elegantly-appointed guest rooms features a living area with luxury seating, Westin's signature Heavenly Bed[R], a spacious bathroom with deep soaking tub and separate rainforest shower.

Business travelers appreciate the generous technological amenities--large work desk, high speed Internet access, two IDD/dual lines and dataports, three telephones and a facsimile machine.

Four Westin Executive Club Floors with private lounge and adjoining terrace provide business guests with exclusive facilities in elegant and comfortable surroundings.

The ample conference center which enjoys wireless access to the Internet, is spread over two levels. Boasting 12 function rooms, a Ballroom that caters for up to 800 persons and one high-tech Boardroom with state-of-the art equipment, it also has a business center, meeting planner's lounge and a professional meeting services team.

Seven restaurants and bars include the signature PREGO Italian restaurant and EEST The Crystal Garden, a three-in-one concept featuring the best of Chinese, Japanese and Thai cuisine, while THE STAGE all day dining otters one of the most popular buffets in the city.

To unwind and relax, one level is dedicated to a unique 20 meter indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzis, steam and sauna rooms, a state-of-the-art gymnasium and the Banyan Tree Spa--Asia's award-winning sanctuary for body and mind.
