W, Edition or RC?
We (2 pax) are staying for one night in Shanghai around end of March before heading over to Singapore.
Willing to spend up to 60K points on the 1 night hotel stay. Platinum Premier.. I mean Titanium status. Don’t need breakfast as we will need to get to PVG around 5530- 6AM for the 8AM SG flight. Lounge access would be nice but not required as we don’t drink much.
What we care about: room size (suite preferred) and relatively modern design, such as marble washroom, Japanese Toto toilet, a gorgeous view. I assume it’s relatively easy to get a taxi to get us to PVG in the morning around 5AM regardless of which hotel we pick.
Location doesnt matter much as opposed to the view. A view of the bund would be nice - either of Pudong or Puxi.
Any recommendation? Looking at Edition, W and RC Pudong. Though the room decor at RC Pudong leaves much to be desired. I hear W can be very noisy. EDITION however ranks lower than the W per tripadvisor travellers ranking, and I’m not sure if they will upgrade us, since they don’t have to. Rooms at W appear to be bigger and the view better?
Anyone got email of GM if either Edition or W?
Thanks!

Location-wise, actually it's also quite close to metro, but definitely not as convenient as LeRM

I'm based in Taiwan and my go to hotel whenever I visit Shanghai is the Edition. IMO the hard product is significantly better than the W and the overall design/aesthetic of the Edition is just more immersed as suppose to the W. The edition also has the wealthy hip crowd that frequent the restaurants and club, while the W generally has the China Rich crowd. If you have Platinum I don't think a suite upgrade is guaranteed but still quite possible, I know a lot of guests pay for the suites so availability at check-in may be an issue. I generally just stay in the Loft rooms with bund view and you can see Pudong easily from there. I would recommend EDITION every time over the W or RC, but I'm also 24 and a sucker for EDITION's hard product.

Recommendations for a couple on their first trip to China in March? We have 4 to 6 nights and I was planning on using SNAs if possible. I'm platinum and will be paying cash. Currently have a reservation at RM for ~$200 pn. We like to walk and transit via metro so it seems RM is a good option for eating and sight seeing. Would using SNAs there be wasteful? We're also doing 3 weeks in Italy in a few months so I may hold onto them for Rome or elsewhere. Is there somewhere we'll receive a nice suite upgrade that has the above attributes at similar cost?

I would not use suite night for Royal meridien (was that your RM?) I like property and stay all the time but room sizes small, even the larger suites. Plat upgrade is usually to tiny junior suite
Hard product at STR nice and JW Tomorrow Square nice too.

We stayed at Renaissance Yuan Garden and liked it very much
Nice lounge for breakfast but really loved the lounge at night with a fabulous view of the river and ‘light show’ on the hotels at night, lounge attendants charming and helpful
Was upgraded to suite first time we stayed not the next year but room was very nice
So enjoyed the top floor indoor pool where you swim next to the windows
Area was fine for us, in process of rebuilding former more traditional old neighborhood

Data point for Renaissance Zhongshan as Plat Elite:
Basic room upgraded to Exec corner room.
Breakfast offered at lounge or at Azul on 26th.
Lounge happy hour 5 - 8:30pm - mediocre selections of still wine/standard booze/Budwiser (!!!).
25m pool access through separate elevators. Facilities shared with public. Super crowded in mornings.
I wouldn't stay here again unless west Shanghai location is required.

So we leave China with a final night in Shanghai. We'll be arriving by rail from Huangshan at either the Shanghai Station or Shanghai Hongqiao station, we're not sure. We need somewhere to stay before leaving from PVG in the early AM (7:30AM departure). Does anyone have a recommendation for somewhere that will be easy to get to the airport? It looks like we'd want to stay on subway line 2 (green) for the simplest access to PVG. We don't need to stay physically close to the airport, just somewhere between the 2 train stations and the airport. We're spending 3 nights on the front end at the Le Royal Meridien so we're looking for something nice that isn't that property. It is just a single night and rates are relatively cheap on this Saturday (Portman is $160) so something lux is preferred. I'd make that my decision but I'm only going to be Platinum and I want to be eligible for a suite upgrade which I believe the Ritz will not offer.
Any other ideas?
