That said, it seems this is just a rebranding not a refurb, as all other photos that do not include branding seem unchanged - the hotel is still fairly new and not quite worn, so I doubt it they will revamp the lounge.
I believe the free minibar is a MGallery rather than Pullman benefit, at any rate the lounge is very well stocked with soft drinks and offers a happy hour for some so-so alcohol. As for laundry, I guess they will honour the regular Pullman benefit entitlements, as they gave me lounge access and breakfasts for two (me and my travelling companion) for a lenghty stay despite me booking the cheapest possible rate.
Ah I got confused. Club rooms at Pullman get free non alcoholic drinks from the mini bar.
I believe ithe property you mentioned is known as Grand Mercure Shanghai Central now. There s no news of it rebranding to a Pullman. Grand Mercure suffers from a bit of identity crisis. It's actually positioned to be upscale/luxury properties that is unique to China. The decor reflects that.
