    Intercontinental Shanghai Wonderland
    Expedia Verified Review…
    5 / 5 Excellent
    Did a two-day staycation in light of not being able to travel during covid and chose this hotel because it it’s unique design. Property is beautiful and excellently maintained. Staff are very kind. Did buffet breakfast at the G floor restaurant, room service for lunch, and dinner at the B15 restaurant and all were tasty and worth it. Simply enjoyed reading on the balcony, using the pool, watching the water shows on the property, and watching movies in the room. Made for a lovely weekend stay. Pricy, but worth it if you want to treat yourself to a one of a kind hotel stay.
