SHANGHAI · FROM ¥2,800 / NIGHT TWIN

WHY THIS HOTEL
The hotel inside the tower — 173 rooms on floors 79 to 93 of the World Financial Center, with the skyline at eye level and China’s No.1 course twenty-five minutes west.
Arrival is the theatre: a dedicated lift to the 87th-floor sky lobby, check-in above 370 metres, and rooms framed floor-to-ceiling with the Jin Mao tower, the Oriental Pearl and the whole run of the Bund. Tony Chi designed the interiors around bamboo and dark timber — a quiet apartment in the clouds rather than a hotel lobby with fans. The glass-fronted pool on the 85th floor, swimming with the city suspended below, is the photograph every guest takes.
For a golf week it works as the city bookend: the first night off the flight, dinner at 100 Century Avenue on the 91st, then Sheshan International for the morning round. Twenty-five minutes west puts China’s No.1 course closer to this bed than to most Pudong hotels, and the driver waits in the tower basement.
The honest note: this is a city hotel, not a resort. Evenings are the Bund, tailors and dinners; the golf is a drive away. We book it first-and-last nights of a Shanghai-opening journey, with the countryside nights at Fuchun or Amanfayun doing the resort work.
THE GOLF AT THE DOOR
The parkland of greater Shanghai sits west of the tower, and the drive out of Lujiazui beats the drive from almost any other downtown bed. These are the courses we sequence around this hotel.
The reason Shanghai works as a golf city: rolling parkland around deep lakes, greens that end arguments, and a clubhouse worthy of the ranking. Book the morning slot and be back in the tower for lunch.
The seven-time Volvo China Open venue on Dianshan Lake — wide corridors, wind off the water, and the history of Chinese professional golf on its flagpoles. Sixty to seventy-five minutes from the hotel.
Several solid member clubs sit in the Songjiang corridor with Sheshan. Your planner picks the pairing that suits the day — one championship round and one honest clubhouse round is the rhythm that works.
BEYOND THE GOLF
This is the part your non-golfers care about — and the reason the trip works as a week, not a series of tee times.
100 Century Avenue on level 91 runs Western, Cantonese and Japanese kitchens under show lights and the best dining view in Shanghai; the 87th-floor bar carries the sunset. Book ahead — the whole city wants the same tables.
Ten minutes by driver to the Bund or Yu Garden, and the tailor fittings, museum mornings and Nanjing Road evenings slot between rounds without touching the tee sheet.
Water’s Edge on level 85: treatment rooms, steam and that glass-fronted pool. A post-round swim 350 metres above the street is the recovery routine nobody skips twice.
Walk-in rain showers, spa tubs, day beds and dual-aspect windows in the suites — after a week of resort rooms, the skyline is the amenity. West-facing rooms get the Bund at sunset.
ASKED BEFORE YOU ASK
Everything else — room categories, caddie arrangements, that back nine your handicap fears — is one message away.
3 courses are profiled above, and a four-night stay comfortably covers three rounds without a single long transfer. Your planner sequences them so the toughest round lands on your freshest morning.
Yes — that is half the reason we book it. Dinner above the clouds is the headline, and the full day programme is planned with the same care as the tee sheet.
From about ¥2,800 per night for a twin in season; rates move with view side and floor. Everything is quoted as one fixed all-in price — room, rounds, caddies, drivers and transfers — so nothing arrives as a surprise on checkout day.
