Reviews for the InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin are polarized, focusing heavily on the contrast between the property's stunning exterior and its aging interior. Guests consistently praise the beautiful, expansive grounds and the historic, colonial-style architecture, which provides a peaceful escape from the city's bustle. However, many reviewers express disappointment with the room conditions, citing dated decor, small layouts, and occasional maintenance issues like dampness or limited natural light. While the staff is generally described as friendly, some guests noted logistical challenges navigating the large, spread-out property. The dining and executive lounge receive mixed feedback, with some finding the offerings excellent and others feeling they do not match the expected price point. Ultimately, the hotel is seen as a charming, atmospheric choice for those who value heritage and nature over contemporary room luxury.
