Waldorf Astoria ShanghaiThis new five-star at the southern end of the Bund is actually two hotels in one. The first, in a waterfront building that was once a colonial-era gentlemen’s club, is a boutique lodging equipped with a birdcage elevator. The second, connected by a long marble corridor, is a sleek new 252-room tower with impressive views from the upper floors. Both make for a sumptuous stay, though it’s a shame the revived Long Bar provides only a wood replica of its legendary (and now lost) 110-foot slab of mahogany. Look down in the lobby, however, for a dose of authenticity: The slightly cracked marble floor has been the same for decades. Rates from $450/night (tower), $915/night (club)
