Shanghai is a city unlike any other, where extraordinary heritage and culture exist alongside incredible creativity, energy and global influence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Future urban reserves are planned for some of the \u201cworld\u2019s leading global gateway cities\u201d, although the details around where these will be remain under wraps.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget widget--type-image

Perhaps you book an EDITION in every city you visit because you want to try all of the custom toiletry scents.While we won\u2019t be sharing our preferences here \u2013 that would need a whole separate article \u2013 we will admit there is one brand that we are seriously excited about whenever a new property is announced: Ritz-Carlton Reserve.Part of The Ritz-Carlton brand, which in turn is a part of Marriott, Ritz-Carlton Reserves are destination-led properties that offer highly personalised service and cultural immersion.Reserves are typically found outside of major cities \u2013 until now, with the announcement that the Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Shanghai will open in 2030.Located along Shanghai&#8217;s North Bund, the first urban Reserve will have 110 guest rooms and suites across the skyscraper\u2019s 103 floors.\u00a0The hotel is meant to act as a &#8220;sanctuary within the city\u201d, and will have a spa and wellness retreat as well as an indoor swimming pool and gym, plus several restaurants and bars.\u201cRitz-Carlton Reserve has always been about creating rare, deeply personal experiences that could only exist in their destination,\u201d Tina Edmundson, president of luxury at Marriott International, said.\u00a0\u201cThere is an intimacy to Reserve \u2013 an extraordinary level of personalisation, a deep connection to local culture, and a sense of discovery and wellbeing that allows guests to experience a place in an entirely different way.\u00a0\u201cBringing that philosophy to Shanghai for our first urban Reserve is an incredibly exciting evolution for the brand. Shanghai is a city unlike any other, where extraordinary heritage and culture exist alongside incredible creativity, energy and global influence.\u201dFuture urban reserves are planned for some of the \u201cworld\u2019s leading global gateway cities\u201d, although the details around where these will be remain under wraps.Other Ritz-Carlton Reserve propertiesThe first Ritz-Carlton Reserve opened in 2009 in Thailand\u2019s Phulay Bay, and there are just nine properties in total.Each of the hotels is firmly rooted in its destination, offering experiences you can only get there, rather than the cookie cutter approach that was typical with hotel chains for many years.For example, Mandapa, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Indonesia is located within an indigenous Balinese village, and you can book experiences such as Hasta Samudrika (palm reading) and Wariga (numerology and life path guidance).Siari, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve in Mexico\u2019s Riviera Nayarit is the latest to welcome guests, having opened in November 2025.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/travel\/2026\/08\/25\/first-ever-urban-ritz-carlton-reserve-to-open-in-shanghai-heres-what-you-need-to-know&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/88\/65\/04\/1200x675_cmsv2_c6be34b7-bb7c-5517-a348-511fe1fc75e0-9886504.jpg&#8221;] Canada Canada hits back with new counter tariffs on US goods Mongolia Mongolia positions itself as Asia&#8217;s next data centre hub Europe News CIA director Ratcliffe makes secret trip to Moscow, US reports claim Tech News Norway moves to tighten rules on use of smart glasses Canada Canada hits back with new [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2110852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2110852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2110852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2110852\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2110852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2110852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2110852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
