The New World Mayfair Shanghai, opened in 2003, is located in the western district of Chang Ning, a newly developed area where many major international corporations have built their China headquarters. The New World Mayfair Hotel Shanghai is part of a large complex comprising service apartments and the New World Xinning Shopping Center, which features recognizable European brands. Guests will immediately sense the modern and luxurious feel of the hotel as they enter the glass encased lobby with tall concrete columns and defused lightening. The roof top pool offers dramatic views the endless towers covering Shanghai's skyline. The on site health club features a spa tub and sauna and offers fitness classes including yoga.

Hotel dining and lounge options include the Champagne Bar, the Today and Tomorrow Restaurant, which features Taiwanese fare and Chez Lily Restaurant for regional and southern Chinese cuisine including dim sum.
