One of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The peaceful Zen like atmosphere was such a lovely refuge after a day of running around in the craziness of Shanghai.
The most gorgeous environment. Beautiful room, delicious food, fabulous spa. But mostly all the staff were unbelievable. So warm, helpful, and friendly. Didn’t want to leave.

Great location, hotel is modern and lovely staff.
Some in key ares dint speak English very well, which was frustrating.
Breakfast was ok, but not stunning, and room service food we got was not to good standard.
But would def stay here again, got given an upgrade as our room wasn’t ready when we arrived.

The PuLi was a wonderful base for our second short stay in Shanghai and the welcome experience was incredible. All of the staff were very attentive throughout the stay and were so quick to help with any queries we had. We were able to fit in a massage which was truly out of this world! The Long Bar also makes a cracking Vesper Martini - and the rooms were very comfortable!

I spend around ~40% of my time traveling and residing in hotels. This establishment stands out as one of the world's most sophisticated luxury destinations. The service, accommodations, and decor are nothing short of sensational. The concierge, Mike Cai, was exceptional—almost like having a personal assistant in a new city. The staff exudes authenticity and attentiveness, creating an unforgettable experience.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Puli Hotel and Spa. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Jing An. Reels Mall is a 2 minute walk, the Kerry Centre is a 5 minute walk. nearest metro is Jing A Temple which is on line 2, most convenient line which gets you pretty much everywhere. 20 minute walk to West Nanjing Road. Overall great hotel, perfect location with lots of shops and dinning options.

Hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful. Spa area was lovely. Few observations however, the jacuzzi had some particles floating in it. I left the minute I saw them and also the swimming pool was a little too cold.

Hotel is located in a central location of the Jing An Area. There are a couple of shopping malls and department stores within walking distance. The hotel is nicely designed, staffs are welcoming but I think they could be more well-trained in general for such a high standard hotel. The room is nice and comfortable. One thing is the sliding door for bathroom and bath tub is partially transparent so it’s a bit inconvenient and embarrassing if you prefer more privacy for yourself. I did request the staff to apply big patch sticker on the sliding door to solve this problem and they did accordingly so I’m okay with stay all in all. Minibar is free.

1）Dirty
- the glass was with dirts since I checked in the room. I put it on the table, same glass was served without washing or changing a new one. see pics attached.
- moreover, there r dust loads at the corners n under the cupboards. I dropped my hair clip on floor, my hand was full of dust after picking it up.

2) no communication between reservation n reception
- I was being confirmed by the reservation officer that I was supposed to hv a complimentary breakfast but the receptionist told me that I don’t hv any complimentary breakfast.
- I found the email n show the receptionist, they said they need time to check. By the time that they replied, I already missed the first day’s free breakfast.
- I sent email to reservation officer to c if I can hv the breakfast on the next day which is my last day of stay. By the time I received their replied email was at 10:40am, so I missed the breakfast again!!!
- coz of their lack of communication, I couldn’t get my breakfast!!!!

A stylish hotel in a great location

A beautiful hotel in the most active part of Jingan. If you are into shopping, this is the area to be in. The hotel is beautifully designed with wonderful outdoor amenity space and very stylish interior. The service however was a bit indifferent and worse than expected. Stay st the St Regis more regularly and that hotel although not as stylish as the Puli has much better staff and service.

Fantastic location and service, greatrooms

Great as always: beautiful rooms with beautiful view, complimentary minibar, attentive service - the in-room dining (I had some gyoza) was actually very delicious, a breathtaking pool - and the location right at the centre is of course fantastic.

They seem to have downgraded the amenities a bit: they used to have great and special Bayan Kala, a great local brand I encountered like this, now there is some generic stuff from Bottega or so...

Only drawback: if you're a light sleeper, the many lights in the room that cannot be completely switched off or covered are annoying; in that respect, the rooms cannot compete with the Peninsula or so, and why I tended to stay there more for my business trips.

All the amenities are first class. The rooms are well designed and so relaxing. Great shower, comfortable bed, and nice sitting area by huge windows are awesome. Also a great soaking tub if you want as well. I would stay here everytime. Great area of town that is in the heart of shopping and subway access without the chaos of the bund.

Great but starting to feel a little worn

I had a very comfortable stay at the Puli. This hotel is always my first choice of stay when I'm in Shanghai. The service was great and the room was clean. However, I've noticed they have changed their amenities to their own, which I feel takes away from the luxuriousness of the experience. Also, the rooms are starting to get a little old... some of the finishings look a little worn, the robes need to be replaced, and my toilet didn't flush very well (although I think they noticed half way into my stay and got this fixed).

I first stayed in this Hotel in 2011 and I have never stayed in any other when visiting Shanghai for business. Highly recommended to any one who wants to combine best services with outstanding design and decoration features. The pool, the long bar and the library are top class! The staff is very kind, attentive and professional. We faced a problem with our WiFi connection that couldn't be solved during the night. Next morning the problem was solved and the management upgraded us to an executive suite with a bottle of champagne to welcome us! What a treat! A slight problem is the difficulty to find a taxi, obviously not the fault of the Hotel! We shall definitely go back!
