Kerry Hotel Pudong, Shanghai

An in-house craft brewery inside a luxury hotel is either a very good idea or a sign the minibar committee got out of hand, and at Kerry Hotel Pudong it reads as the former. This contemporary five-star sits beside Century Park in Pudong, with a vast sports and spa complex, a formal Cantonese restaurant, a casual steakhouse, and a brewmaster producing the IPAs. Rooms are spacious, the atmosphere a notch less stiff than the Shangri-La sibling upstairs.
