To select the top hotels in China, HOTELS China uses a very rigorous evaluation process. Within the city of Shanghai, only three hotels were chosen for this list, which is based on an evaluation of a hotel's professional service, hardware facilities and nearby environment, among other numerous factors. Special note is also made for any unique services that a hotel provides. With its legendary 24-hour personal Butler service, private Ladies' Only Floor and overall service culture, The St. Regis Shanghai was once again named among China's top luxury hotels.
