The Hotel – Oozing the glitz and glam of Bellagio Las Vegas’ sister hotel

Luxurious. Elegant. Overstated. These are just a few of the words that come to mind when you enter the spectacle that is Bellagio Shanghai. At no surprise, the second outpost of the Bellagio falls “nothing short of unforgettable”, as the Bellagio slogan promises.

The 162-room hotel boasts four restaurants and bars—including LAGO by the famous Julian Serrano—the sophisticatedly minimalist Spa at BELLAGIO featuring spacious spa suites and river views and a 24-hour, 1,800sqm fitness centre replete with a spa, sauna and heated indoor swimming pool which you can enjoy complimentary access to throughout your stay.

Enjoy your stay in a 60 – 70sqm Deluxe Room set on the 4th – 10th floor that features floor-to-ceiling windows, walk-in robe, luxe spacious marble bathroom with rain shower and double vanities, King bed, BOSE stereo system and high-speed Wi-Fi.

View Upgrade: Upgrade to a Deluxe River Room and enjoy sweeping views of the Suzhou River and breathtaking Lujiazui skyline. Plus, with this upgrade you’ll enjoy a CNY300 massage credit to share for the spectacular Spa at BELLAGIO. Put your credit towards anything from a blissful aromatherapy massage or facial to an invigorating body scrub or destressing acupuncture session.

The Food – the award-winning LAGO by Julian Serrano has made the move from Las Vegas to Shanghai

Arguably one of the country’s best culinary talents, Julian Serrano moved the award-winning Lago restaurant to the Bellagio’s newest venture in Shanghai. Enjoy two cocktails to share at this spectacular restaurant that blends flashy décor with futuristic furniture.

Wake each morning to daily continental breakfast at the classic Café Bellagio from 6:30am – 10:30am (and until 11am on weekends). With an art-deco vibe designed to mimic a classic American diner, sweeping views of the light-studded city skyline and local produce that makes up a seasonal menu, Café Bellagio is the ultimate way to start out a day in Shanghai.

Choose one special day to head back to this swanky café for a three-course dining experience.

End another day of luxury with a traditional Shanghainese set dinner for two at Maison on One, a restored 1920s building featuring classic Cantonese and Shanghainese cuisine. You’ll enjoy flavourful dishes like salted chicken with jelly fish, osmanthus soup with rice balls and bean curd with mushrooms among traditional Chinese décor.

See & Do – From dumplings to skyscrapers, shopping and gardens

When you’re in one of the world’s most fast-pace cities, there’s always something to do. Experience all sides of the city’s dining culture by grabbing some street food at Chenghuangmiao Old Street in the old town, chowing down on dumplings at Fu Chun (home to arguably the city’s best xiaolongbao) and Din Tai Fung, or going all out with a fine dining meal at Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet, Jin Xuan Chinese Restaurant and Gui Hau Lou at the Pudong Shangri-La.

Perfect for a lavish city escape

An enjoyable holiday for a couple of foodies looking to experience some of China’s finest cuisine, a family of explorers who love getting out and about, or lovers of luxury who can’t wait to splash some cash at the high-end designer shops.
