Bellagio Shanghai

Bellagio Shanghai sits tucked away along the banks of the Suzhou River, where it overlooks the Bund, Shanghai’s most famous promenade, and skyscraper filled Lujiazui. The hotel’s neighborhood, called Hongkou, has remained one of the few bastions of the city’s past. While other districts have seen low-rise housing lanes razed to make way for gleaming towers of commerce, amblers along the streets of Hongkou are still likely to encounter elderly local residents coming home from their daily wet market pilgrimage. The prominence of art deco style in this part of town is still obvious, and though it has faded in the older buildings, it shines brightly at the new Bellagio Shanghai by MGM. Inside, other artistic flourishes will catch your eye — more than 1,000 works curated from around the globe fill the grand property. Opened in June 2018 as the first Bellagio outside of the United States, the hotel offers 162 sophisticated rooms, world-class dining options and a lavish spa.
