Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan is a luxury riverfront hotel in Qiantan, the New Bund, in Pudong, the newer of Shanghai's two Waldorfs, set directly across the Huangpu from its century-old sister on the Bund and shaped like an ocean liner about to cast off. Dining runs through ARAME, Fu Cheng and the Starlight Room, and the riverside terraces make an easy case for a staycation weekend in Qiantan. Worth knowing even if you live here: the Qiantan park loop and waterfront are right outside the door.
