Situated in Shanghai and with Shanghai Disneyland reachable within 24 km, Holiday Inn Shanghai Pudong Airport, an IHG Hotel features concierge services, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi and a restaurant. The property is set 31 km from Shanghai New International Expo Centre, 38 km from Shanghai World Financial Centre SWFC and 39 km from Jin Mao Tower. The accommodation offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage for guests. This was honestly the best choice I could have made for my stopover in Shanghai! The hotel is absolutely amazing — spacious, modern, spotlessly clean, and perfectly designed with every detail thought out for the guest’s comfort. Everything works flawlessly, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere makes you relax the moment you arrive. The food is delicious, with plenty of variety and excellent quality. The rooms deserve special praise — they are large, beautifully furnished, with perfect soundproofing and incredibly comfortable beds and pillows. I haven’t slept this well anywhere else in my life — pure rest and quiet. But what truly made my stay exceptional was the service at the reception. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Steven, who turned my check-in and overall experience into something truly perfect. His warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are beyond impressive. He handled every question and request quickly and kindly, making me feel genuinely cared for. This is one of those rare hotels where you truly feel valued as a guest. Thanks to staff like Steven, my first experience in Asia couldn’t have been better. This hotel sets the standard for hospitality — others should take note.

Shanghai Hongqiao Heyitang Hotel Beixinjing Subway Station Branch features a fitness centre, garden, a restaurant and bar in Shanghai. Featuring babysitting service, this property also provides guests with a casino. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Located a 3 minute walk from the Line 2 metro station. They offer a free of charge airport shuttle (one-way). Because of its proximity to Hongqiao airport, it is possible to take the newly opened S-line from Pudong airport to Hongqiao airport and transfer to Line 2 to reach the hotel, which is what I did. Takes 1h in total: comparable to driving time. The street next to the hotel was permeated with sweet Osmanthus tree aroma: it was such a delight to sit on the balcony and breathe the perfumed air. The bathrooms were spotless clean: unfortunately, this is more of an exception than a rule from my experience traveling across China, so it really made my stay all the more satisfying. My butler Johnson was super helpful and accommodated all my requests, no matter the time of day. He went above and beyond!

JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Shanghai Pudong Pudong Pudong is located on the bank of Huangpu River in Shanghai’s dynamic Pudong district and close to Lujiazui central business district. The hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, room service and currency exchange for guests.

Each room is equipped with luxury branded mattresses, 55-inch flat screen TVs, goose down and feather quilt, coffee machines, branded stereo. Room was great. Lovely view. Great in-room amenities like espresso machine or Aromatherapy brand shampoo/conditioner. Very nice and helpful staff. I loved the bar "Le Manoir Ling" and the gentleman working there recommended a nice gin. I would also recommend taking a walk by the river on the other side of the hotel.
