Is this the best Executive Club Lounge in the world? Welcome to the Conrad Shanghai, a 60-story skyscraper hotel located right on Nanjing Road. Join me for a tour of the "Bund View Suite" (which has one of the best bathtub views I have ever seen in my life!), a look at the massive breakfast spread at Lane 11, and why the Executive Lounge here sets a new standard for Hilton Honors Diamond members. 🌃 Book or Learn More About Conrad Shanghai: https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/shaw... 💎 My Ratings: • Room: 5/5 (The Bund View Suite is flawless; "no flat walls," incredible textures, auto blinds, and that island sink with a view!) • Inspiration: 4.5/5 (The rooms and skyline views are inspiring, but the pool area feels industrial and the restaurants lack the same "wow" views) • Service: 4/5 (Friendly staff, but service gaps exist: no Diamond welcome amenity, awkward check-in, and breakfast service was sparse) • Value: 4.5/5 (Base rooms start around $180 USD which is incredible value for this quality; I would return just for the view) • Josh’s Score: 18/20 — Excellent 👍 Pros: • Executive Club Lounge: Massive, high ceilings, great food, and panoramic city views (Best in class!) • Bund View Suite: The bathtub view looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower is world-class • Room Design: Zero "flat walls"—every surface has texture, lighting, or detail • Breakfast at Lane 11: Incredible variety (Western, Chinese, Indian) and market-style layout • Location: Right on People's Square and Nanjing Road 👎 Cons: • Indoor Pool: Feels industrial/institutional and lacks the luxury vibe of the rest of the hotel • Service: Lacked the personal touches (welcome notes/amenities) expected at a Conrad for Diamond members • Asador Restaurant: Felt a bit dark and small compared to other venues 💰 Pricing: • Cash Rate: Standard rooms ~$180 - $200 USD; Suites ~$500 - $600 USD • Points: Hilton Honors Points (Great redemption value) 🌍 Hello, I’m Josh, and thank you so much for watching!
