Live Your Best Lives
As a metropolitan city, Shanghai boasts a wide variety of hotels and inns. These are widely distributed, covering nearly every business district, tourist attraction, and even residential area. If your main destination is located near a cluster of attractions, it's most convenient to find a suitable hotel nearby.
Hotels near transportation hubs may be more expensive, but they can save you significant travel costs and precious time. Huangpu, Jing'an, Nanshi, and Hongkou districts are Shanghai's traditional commercial centers, while Pudong New Area, Changning, and Xuhui are emerging business districts.
Shanghai boasts countless luxury hotels, ranging from four-star to five-star, and even beyond. Most are concentrated in the city's bustling commercial districts, forming three major hotel clusters: Jing'an, Hongqiao, and Pudong. Prices range from 600 to several thousand yuan. These hotels maintain leading domestic standards for management and service, with some boasting world-class standards, making them a top choice for business travelers. For example, the Westin Bund Center Shanghai.
Budget hotel chains are widely distributed in Shanghai, and can be found in almost any area. Well-known brands include Starway, Home Inn, Hanting, Motel 166, Jinjiang Inn, and 7 Days Inn. Chain hotels offer moderate prices, typically ranging from 100 to over 300 yuan. While their rooms may not rival those of luxury hotels, they are more comfortable and safer than similarly priced hotels.
For young independent backpackers, price is the most important consideration. Youth hostels, job-hunting hostels, university guesthouses, and some daily rentals are all good options. Beds cost between 40 and 60 yuan, and standard rooms are around 200 to 300 yuan. Most of these hostels offer convenient transportation.
While hotel prices here are a bit high, even youth hostels are significantly higher than those in other areas. Budget hotels range from 200 to 300 yuan. The biggest advantage is that many hotels offer stunning views of the Huangpu River and the Bund's international architecture from your room, allowing you to experience the Bund at night. Getting around is also very convenient.
The hotel is housed in an old house, decorated in a classic style. Every corner bears the hallmarks of old Shanghai. Even the front desk staff are dressed in Scottish-style attire. The atmosphere and service are on par with luxury hotels.
