Along with other top hotels in town, The Radisson Hotel New World can be found on Nanjing Road; however, it avoids confusion with the others by having the distinct advantage of looking anything like a hotel. With a saucer/space ship (actually the hotel's bar/restaurant) perched spectacularly atop a 208-meter tower, the hotel has gained iconic status with local Shanghainese. Given its 5* status, the fact that it has 3 restaurants, banquet and conference facilities, spa and swimming pool, does not need to be mentioned.
