Once the Best Hotels, but Now somewhat Eclipsed by New Ones
-Ritz-Carlton
-Hilton
-Pudong New Asia Tompson

(These hotels lose favor due to some physical limitations, such as lack of very big ballrooms. These hotels in fact can be very good bargains.)

New and very good but less well known hotels:
-Pudong Jinjiang Sofitel;
-St. Regis Hotel in Pudong

Hotels with unique ambience:
-Xijiao Guest House

Never-go Hotels:
