When it comes to choosing a hotel in Shanghai, we're partial to the Grand Hyatt and the Ritz-Carlton, but those looking for a huge room with a view should book the Andree Putman-designed penthouse suite at 41 Hengshan Road, an apartment-hotel managed by Kempinski. This tower is located in the French concession, which also has some of the best shops in town, and is surrounded by villas and tree-lined streets.  The penthouse features three bedrooms, an open-plan bathroom, and a large private terrace.
