Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel
What to expect: The hotel’s circular lobby is dominated by a large central pillar housing six elevators. Business travelers come and go, taking advantage of the large off-street entry driveway and lobby lounge facilities. Chinese artifacts from the Song dynasty add a historical Asian touch, and are joined by an abundance of plants and flowers. |
Amenity highlights: The Far Eastern Plaza’s towering 43 stories give it wide-ranging views from the majority of its floors. The rooftop outdoor heated pool also makes the most of these views. On the floor below, a health spa provides massages and treatments as well as spa tubs. A fitness center with personal trainer and aerobic classes, range of restaurants, sauna and solarium also is also available.
Insider tip: On a recent visit, former U.S. president Bill Clinton took a shine to the sautéed freshwater shrimp served at the hotel’s traditional Shanghainese restaurant.
