Fodor's Expert Review The Four Seasons

Amid bustling downtown Puxi, this 37-story luxury hotel is an elegant oasis, with a lobby that has palm trees, fountains, and golden-hue marble as warm as sunshine, and with spacious rooms (just 12 or 15 to a floor) that have a chic gold palette. Although it caters to a largely business clientele, it's still a good choice for leisure travelers thanks to impeccable service, a glass-enclosed indoor pool, and a spa that offers traditional treatments. Though a bit dated, rooms are well-appointed, with flat-screen TVs, DVD/CD players, safes big enough for laptops, and bathrooms that have marble showers and tubs. Nanjing Road is within a 10-minute walk, and metro Line 2 is just down the block.
