The Longemont Shanghai is an Affiliate Deluxe Hotel of Worldhotels,

The Shanghai Club (former club that occupied the current Waldorf Astoria Club premises) was famed for its Long Bar, an impressive 34m bar counter and longest in the Far East back in the early days of the 1910s. Today, the original Long Bar design is resurrected in this space, with every element of the bar and wall paneling carefully studied and reproduced from photographic records. The overall style is dark timber paneling with light stone tops and rich, dark masculine furniture.

Long Bar offers a wide range of spirits, including a good selection of cocktails as well as Waldorf Astoria classics done in the original way. An extensive choice of single malt whiskies and beers is available. For those who enjoy their cigars every now and then, Long Bar offers a selection of premium Cuban cigars.

Bringing back one of the luxuries of the olden days is the Oyster Bar, which also features creative titbits. Our gastro pub food selection adds a touch of fun and attitude to bar grub’s classics, with fresh salads and crusty sandwiches for quick business lunches and party platters to share on a night out.

With one end of the bar enjoying the stunning view of the Bund Promenade, guests can also move to the rhythm and blues brought to you by regular entertainers and the resident deejay. Jazz music adds to the soul of this truly classic bar.

The Legend of Mandara

The name Mandara comes from the ancient Sanskrit legend of a god’s quest for immortality, with Mandara Giri representing a sacred mountain from which flows the water of life; a magical elixir with the power of eternal youth.

This ancient quest has been embraced by Mandara Spa, and is today reflected in unique and exotic spa treatments that replicate the timeless spirit, soul and cultural traditions.

While we cannot promise immortality, rest assured that upon experiencing our spa treatments you will feel radiant, revitalized and, perhaps, even touched by a little of the legendary magic that has become the ethos of Mandara Spa.

Massage Therapies

Massage therapies precipitate many beneficial changes to body, mind and spirit when applied with skill and care. Working on both the physical and psychological levels, massage techniques can ease pain or tension from stiff and aching muscles, boost circulation and alleviate mental stress, while promoting relaxation or invigoration, depending on your specific pampering and wellness needs each day.

Traditional Thai Massage
Also known as “Nuad Borarn”, this healing therapy has been handed down through the generations in Thailand for thousands of years. Combining acupressure and stretching techniques using the therapist’s fingers, thumbs, elbows, arms and feet, the body’s internal energy is encouraged to flow more freely to alleviate problematic conditions such as lower back pain, arthritis, headaches and stress-related conditions.

Balinese Massage
In this authentic massage style of ageless tradition, your therapist applies Indonesian Floral Oil together with palm pressure and stretching techniques, to relieve tension, improve blood flow and in turn create waves of muscle relief.

Aromatic Massage
Based on the principles of Aromatherapy and Swedish massage, this treatment incorporates the olfactory system. Each ingredient works to ground, balance and calm the body and mind, while their powerful effects are also known deterrents of muscular and digestive conditions.

Sports Massage
Combining three of the five classical massage movements, this therapy works deeply into the muscles, stretching muscle fibres and releasing tension in the fascia that may otherwise cause restricted movement and pain. By generating increased blood flow and thus improving circulation, Sports Massage can improve flexibility and help to prevent injury.

Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is the foundation of the majority of all Western massage techniques. A firm and invigorating massage using sweet almond oil combined with the five classic strokes — gliding, kneading, friction, vibration and percussion movements – this treatment improves blood circulation, reduces muscle tension to relieve aches and pains, and also energizes the body.

Aroma Stone Massage
Warm Basalt stones melt away all tension. Therapeutic heat is slowly released into the belly of the muscle for a completely new body experience. Small stones are placed on key energy points, whilst luxuriously warmed oils are massaged deeply into the body for maximum relaxation.

Traditional Chinese Massage
The Chinese have revered the benefits of massage for thousand of years and use deep digit pressure, trapping and various stretches to stimulate energy channels and acupressure points. This ancient massage art combines invigorating techniques which expel stagnant “qi” and activate energy flow, alongside sedative techniques to clam and relax, thus restoring the proper balance of yin and yang to the body.

Traditional Chinese Reflexology
Stemming from the philosophy that specific points of the feet correspond with major organs in the upper body, this ancient therapy has the ability to energize and heal the entire body, as well as enhancing mental health and creating an elevated sense of rejuvenation.
