“Ruijin's century-old Shanghai grace”

InterContinental Hotels Shanghai Ruijin is a favourite downtown classic — a beautiful century-heritage environment, characteristic buildings worth touring, a fantastic breakfast spread with a suite upgrade once, convenient check-in and kind staff (Martin, Sean and Jerry named). It suits elders and history lovers. Two practical notes: VIP-building rooms were grand at renovation but now await updates like smart toilets, and basement-garage lift signage is unclear enough that guests hauled luggage up stairs.

Service

Location
A downtown heritage compound in Shanghai.
Food
A fantastic breakfast spread served daily to guests.
Facilities
Historic buildings; confusing garage signage caused luggage struggles.
