Hotel presentation
Located at the heart of the celebrated Shanghai Bund, a waterfront boulevard which runs alongside the Huangpu River and one of the most photographed postcard scenes of the city, the Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund mixes the history and culture of the surrounding district with a taste for 21st century sophistication. The hotel comprises 260 guest rooms and suites across two buildings. A newly built modern tower connects to an all-suite heritage building - Waldorf Astoria Club, once the legendary Shanghai Club and one of the few remaining heritage structures in Shanghai. Built in 1911, this neo-classical architectural gem has been painstakingly restored using archival photographs and records whilst equipping it with contemporary luxuries for modern-day travel experiences.
Meeting Facilities
Within the Waldorf Astoria Club and directly facing the Bund, the stunning ballroom, complemented by individual viewing balconies, has the unique advantage of having the city's famous waterfront promenade as a backdrop for the most spectacular wedding or high society event in Shanghai.
Warm neutral painted ceiling heavily articulated with white, heritage cake work moldings, and dark timber wainscot paneling make this ballroom very rich and traditional. The ceiling plaster work is accented with champagne leaf and complemented with heritage style, crystal chandeliers. The exquisiteness of these chandeliers is enhanced by floor-to-ceiling elegant French windows and classically colored black-out curtains, with coordinating crystal wall sconces dotting the surrounding walls.
The European styled ballroom has a modular design that enables versatile configurations for a variety of large and small events. Complementing this crown jewel in the Waldorf Astoria Club are two smaller ballrooms for other needs.
Across the courtyard, within the new tower, are six other impressive boardrooms for events of various sizes, be it an executive conference, a board meeting, media interview or VIP hospitality.
In addition, complimentary wireless internet accesses in the meeting and public areas allow you to stay connected and informed.
Events that require the use of an outdoor venue will find the hotel’s landscaped courtyard an ideal choice. Beautifully manicured greenery and charming fountains bring to life the alfresco splendor within a cosmopolitan city. Our dedicated Events Team is also at hand to plan and organize any outside catering at various off-site venues.
Banquet choices range from Western menus to traditional Chinese cuisines, with choices for those preferring fusion tastes. And if you have specific favorites in mind for your event or function, our culinary team is at hand to tailor-make a unique menu that’s yours and yours alone. Special themed banquets are available, with a professional team attending to every detail
