The PuLi Shanghai: An Urban Resort with a Michelin Star

The PuLi Shanghai styles itself an urban resort, a low-key luxury hotel overlooking the greenery of Jing'An Park in the center of the city. Its calm, contemporary interiors and 25-metre indoor pool make it a retreat within one of the world's busiest metropolises.

At its culinary heart is PHÉNIX, a Michelin-starred modern brasserie over the park where French finesse meets seasonal Chinese ingredients. The legendary Long Bar handles all-day dining, afternoon tea and late-night drinks, while the Garden Terrace sets tables amid bamboo and water under the stars.

For travelers who want central Shanghai with a sense of calm, and a serious table downstairs, the PuLi is hard to beat.
