Nice area, beautiful hotel with everything you need. Great breakfast and the gym and pool as well as saunas were excellent. I got a big room with living room and dining area.
The Sukhothai is as always, AMAZING! I have tried other hotels in Shanghai, but they just can't top The Sukhothai. The rooms are immaculate, the staff is amazing, the surrounding areas are great - Cheesecake Factory at the mall and the giant Starbucks Reserve down the street. The spa is also wonderful. Will never stay anywhere else in Shanghai!
An excellent hotel in a great location in Shanghai. Very new, clean, relaxing and comfortable hotel. Drinks in fridge are complimentary except for wine. My now go-to hotel in Shanghai
Very friendly, very clean and beautifully designed. The only thing lacking was a roof top bar with views. This would have been a real bonus. Area is great!
The room is spacious and quiet, and the hotel staff are very friendly. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops nearby. The hotel also provides convenient access to the shopping mall. Overall, I’m very satisfied with my stay.
A nice alternative to the Bund area which is a lot more crowded with tourists. Some lovely local stores and high end malls all walking distance. Hotel was great - not the breathtaking variety but rooms are large and stylish.
Sukhothai SH is always cosy, comfortable and great service;
Great location, friendly and efficient staff, discrete and upscaled;
can not recommend enough.
Second time that I stayed in this hotel. Super location and within walking distance to a great variety of shopping, dining and tourist attractions.
Great execution on sustainability. Well trained staff
Quiet, refined, elegant surroundings. Helpful, friendly English-speaking staff. Central location. Bright, large corner room. One of the best hotels I've stayed in.

Sukhothai is the best hotel for myself in Shanghai; intimate, discreet, and a feeling of a luxury place, without being overlay extravagant;
Sukhothai keeps still my first place in SH to stay
Facilities are great.
Service less so…
Typically you’re not supposed to treat your guests as if they were thieves…
There’s a way of doing things. That’s what differentiates a true upscale venue
The reason I chose this hotel on this occasion was that when I stayed at the Sukhothai Hotel in Bangkok over New Year, I was informed that they had also opened a hotel in Shanghai. Consequently, I inevitably find myself comparing this hotel to the Sukhothai Hotel in Bangkok. I have stayed at that hotel numerous times.
My overall impression of this hotel is that it is a highly sophisticated, modern establishment hotel in Shanghai. While maintaining an air of formality, one could simultaneously sense the genuinely warm and personal service from each member of staff. Fundamentally, it offered a distinctively Thai style of hospitality, setting it apart from other top-tier hotels in China.
On the other hand, I believe that your Thai restaurant still has much room for improvement and growth. Firstly, as it is a Thai restaurant, all staff should know the Thai names of the dishes. It is unacceptable for staff to be unable to understand when customers order dishes in Thai language at a Thai restaurant.
As for the cuisine itself, comparing the dishes served at this hotel's restaurant to those at Bangkok's Sukhothai Hotel's Celadon Restaurant would be rather unfair at present. The essence of Chinese cuisine lies in the control of heat, whereas the essence of Thai cuisine lies in spices and herbs. The chefs at Celadon know everything: which spices should be ground when, which herbs to use in which dishes, and how to properly prepare spices and herbs.
