JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Shanghai Pudong
Shanghai, China · JW Marriott · High Luxury
Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the firm behind the Burj Khalifa's structure, finished this 39-storey tower on the Huangpu in 2019 as China's first JW Marriott Marquis. Water motifs run from the facade inward; three-storey Le Manoir Ling serves Cantonese cooking in a French-mansion interior with a rooftop bar. SOM shaped the 158-metre tower partly to protect the sunlight of neighbouring homes, and two meeting rooms are divided by a culinary theatre whose glass walls turn from opaque to clear.

About JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Shanghai Pudong
- SOM shaped the 158-metre, 119,600-square-metre mass partly to protect solar access for adjacent residential towers.
- It was China's first JW Marriott Marquis when it opened in August 2019, on a southern Pudong riverside site near the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
- Two meeting rooms are separated by a live culinary theatre whose bespoke glass walls can shift from fully opaque to fully transparent, turning a working kitchen into a cooking-show stage.
- Le Manoir Ling unfolds across three storeys: Cantonese dim sum, a French-chateau interior, private karaoke rooms, and a rooftop bar in one venue.
History
Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 2019 as the first JW Marriott Marquis hotel in China, this 39-storey, 515-room tower on the Huangpu River integrates water motifs from exterior to interior as a response to its riverfront site.
The setting
JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Shanghai Pudong rises on Puming Road in Pudong New Area, a landmark tower designed by the architectural practice behind Dubai's Burj Khalifa. The hotel's position along the Huangpu River, south of the Lujiazui core, delivers panoramic views across the water toward the historic Bund and the Pudong skyline, with 514 guest rooms and suites overlooking either the river or the city's vast eastern expanse. Tangqiao metro station provides direct connections into the Lujiazui financial district, and the surrounding Pudong New Area represents Shanghai's most ambitious transformation of farmland into a global commercial hub.
