# Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan > A sleek 5-star hotel in Shanghai's Qiantan district, offering an indoor pool, spa, fitness center, and restaurant, with rooms featuring minibars, coffee machines, and balconies with sea views in select categories. **Key facts** - 5-star hotel - Shanghai, China - No. 18 Linyao Road, Pudong, 200126 Shanghai, China - Chain: Hilton - Brand: Waldorf Astoria - Preferred-partner programme: Hilton for Luxury - Page: https://firstrowtravel.com/hotels/china/shanghai/waldorf-astoria-shanghai-qiantan ## About The Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan occupies one of the city's most compelling new addresses in the Qiantan waterfront district, where Shanghai's ambitions for its next great urban chapter are playing out in real time. The hotel stands apart from the older, more traffic-choked hotel corridors of Pudong and the Bund, offering a quieter base without sacrificing convenience — People's Square sits under six miles away, Longhua Temple is a short drive, and both major train stations are easily reached within fifteen minutes. What you gain in return is space, calm, and a sense that the city is unfolding around you rather than swallowing you whole. The rooms themselves are exactly what you'd hope for from a Waldorf property — generously proportioned, thoughtfully appointed, and finished with the kind of quiet confidence that doesn't need to announce itself. Select rooms open onto private balconies, and some look out over the water, which on a clear Shanghai morning is genuinely worth waking up for. Every unit comes with a proper minibar, a coffee machine, and the sort of bathroom setup — rainfall showers, quality toiletries — that makes it easy to linger before heading out. The seating areas feel genuinely usable rather than decorative, and the cable TV and air conditioning work exactly as they should, every time. Downstairs, the hotel delivers a full supporting cast. The indoor pool is a serious facility rather than an afterthought, the spa offers the full range of treatments, and the fitness center is well-equipped enough to satisfy regular gym-goers. The restaurant covers breakfast with buffet, à la carte, and continental options, while the bar makes for a civilized end to an evening spent exploring the city. Staff at the front desk handle everything in both Mandarin and English without fuss, which in a city that moves as fast as Shanghai is no small thing.
