Buzz: New Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong Has Rates from RMB 2,888 (incl. Breakfast)

Today the Ritz-Carlton Shanghai, Pudong opened with a bang: a carnival-style launch party where 500 staff, clad in retro-style outfits, welcomed guests in style. With the World Expo in full swing and visitors flocking to Shanghai, now's the time to check out the "Paris of the East" and live it up at the brand spanking new Ritz-Carlton. There's been lots of buzz about the glitzy hotel and its cool outdoor terrace perched on the 58th floor, the tallest rooftop bar in Shanghai. Needless to say, the views from Flair (the bar) and the hotel's 285 guest rooms are mind-blowing. (Book a Club Level room and you'll be privy to all kinds of perks, starting with access to the Ritz-Carlton Club with five daily complimentary food presentations, semi-private work stations, express check-in/check-out, and a dedicated concierge.) To fete the hotel's debut, a "Special Opening Offer" is available starting today (until further noticed). Priced from RMB 2,888, the two-night package includes:

* Overnight accommodation at Deluxe Room with spacious entry size at 50 sqm

 

* Daily buffet breakfast for one

* Complimentary one-way airport or train station transfer

* Complimentary in-room Internet access
