Atour Hotel Nanjing East Road, Shanghai on the Bund

"Location is great, just about 5 mins to the Bund. Also very near to Nanjing Road where all the great shopping is located at. Room is spacious. I booked a family room for 4 pax and the space is good for all of us. Shower is great too. But I must say their counter staff will need to improve in their service to their hotel guests. - minimal greetings with almost no smiles to welcome the hotel guests - provided a staff personal WeChat account but couldn’t get him when he’s off. Other China hotels I stayed will provide a hotel WeChat account where you can reach them 24/7 - worse nightmare was when I arranged our purchase from To Summer which is worth a few hundred dollars, and when we went back to the hotel to pick it up, my package was left together with the other food delivery n there was no verification required from the counter staff but just collect our package. Meaning that anyone could have just collected it!"

"I really enjoyed staying at the Swissotel Shanghai. My room was a corner room. It was very spacious, elegant and had plenty amenities. I love the view. I had access to the executive lounge. The service was outstanding and the food selection was delicious. The breakfast buffet was really good. There many choices and most of the staff spoke English. The spa, pool, gym, sauna and wet areas were clean and well maintained. I highly recommend this hotel."

"#Room# The guy who checked me in upgraded my room type. The room was spacious, well-equipped, and the bedding was comfortable. #Service# The response time was quite prompt. If you order takeout at night, remember to call the front desk after receiving the delivery notification from the delivery driver, so the hotel can bring it up to your room promptly. #Location# This is the closest hotel to the First People's Hospital (a 5-minute walk). The inpatient building is so crowded, and private rooms are a resource ordinary people can't get. So this place is quite suitable as a temporary resting stop. #Other# We initially booked for two nights and then extended for another night. The front desk, considering it was typhoon season and ordering takeout would be difficult, thoughtfully provided two complimentary breakfasts, which was a very warm gesture."

"I specifically brought my child to watch the Shenhua match. The stadium atmosphere was great. This hotel is connected to the stadium and has a strong sports vibe. The room was clean and comfortable, and they even considered that I had a child with me by giving me a room closest to the elevator. The central location offered a nice view. It's very close to the subway station, a quiet hotel in a bustling area."

Intercity Hotel Shanghai Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street The Bund

"The room was very new, with a modern and youthful feel overall. Even the TV was a Philips brand, which was a nice touch. My only minor complaints are that the shower knob is incredibly slippery and hard to turn when you have shower gel on your hands – that definitely needs to be addressed. Also, the hallway from the elevator lobby to the room was stuffy and hot with no air conditioning, likely due to a staircase in that area. This made the experience before even getting into the room feel a bit unpleasant, so I'd suggest finding a solution for that."

"We have booked more nights initially, but our plan was disrupted by the typhoon unfortunately. Kudos to hotel to be willing to accommodate to our booking twice. Room is too dim for my liking, but housekeeping staff is helpful to my request. Convenient location that our favourite 莱莱小笼包 and 双喜甜品 is just a corner away. You just need to head down n the whole shopping street is right in front"

"This hotel offers excellent value for money among the landmark hotels in Lujiazui. Although it's been open for many years, it's well-maintained, with no signs of age or musty odors. The service is discreet and appropriate; they don't push dining or spa services excessively, but rather respond promptly when needed. Whether for a short stay or an extended visit, the experience consistently delivers."

"Many thanks to Lily for her great service and helping us with our room and luggage. She was always kind and helpful, and made our stay much smoother. 🤍 بصراحة أول شيء جذبني للفندق كان التقييم العالي وعدد التعليقات الكبير 📍 Location: من أفضل مميزات الفندق موقعه. قريب جدًا من شارع التسوق٣ د مشي تقريبا ، وحوالي 5 دقائق مشي من مطعم Eli Falafel العربي، وكذلك قريب من محطات المترو، فالتنقل كان سهل جدًا. 🏨 Check-in & Lobby: مدخل الفندق من الجهة الجانبية، وهو داخل نفس مبنى Holiday Inn. اللوبي في الدور الخامس، وصراحة كانت من أكثر الأشياء المخيبة بالنسبة لي، لأننا اضطرينا نسحب الشنط من الاستقبال إلى اللوبي ثم إلى الغرفة بأنفسنا. 🛏️ Room: الغرفة عادية وصغيرة نسبيًا (حوالي 25m²) وتذكرني بغرف أوروبا. لكنها نظيفة، مريحة، وإطلالتها على شارع التسوق كانت جميلة. 💡 Facilities: * الستائر والإنارة إلكترونية. * فيه روبوت يوصل الطلبات للغرفة، وكانت إضافة لطيفة. * أي استفسار يردون عليه بسرعة عن طريق WeChat. 🚿 Bathroom: المرحاض فيه خاصية تدفئة للمقعد، لكن ما فيه شطاف إلكتروني، وكنت أتمنى يكون موجود. 👕 Services: ما فيه مكواة داخل الغرفة، لكن فيه غرفة غسيل فيها مكواة بخار تؤدي الغرض. بس بصراحة كل مرة تحتاج تكوي شيء لازم تنزل، وهذا كان متعب شوي. 😭 وقت تسجيل الدخول تقدر تختار إذا تبي تنظيف يومي أو بدون تنظيف طوال فترة الإقامة، وأمانة خدمة التنظيف كانت ممتازة. 🎁 Overall: رغم الملاحظات، لازم أقول إن الموظفين كانوا يحاولون يرضون النزيل بكل الطرق. وعند تسجيل الخروج أعطونا هدية بسيطة، وفي اللوبي متوفر قهوة سريعة التحضير وشاي مجانًا. الخلاصة: فندق جيد جدًا إذا كانت أولويتك الموقع وسهولة الوصول. لكن الإقامة كانت مريحة، والموظفون متعاونون جدًا، وهذا عوض كثير من السلبيات بالنسبة لي"

The Bund Puyan Hotel, Shanghai ★★★★★
"My stay in Shanghai this time was incredibly satisfying; choosing the right accommodation truly made the entire trip much easier. The hotel boasts an unbeatable location right in the city center, making getting around incredibly convenient. With excellent transportation links all around, popular shopping districts and attractions are very close by. Whether it's for shopping, dining, or sightseeing, there's no need for long journeys, saving a lot of travel time—it's perfect for anyone visiting Shanghai. The most delightful surprise was the room's view. It offered a wide, clear panorama overlooking the Suzhou Creek. During the day, the river flows peacefully and serenely, exuding the soothing ambiance unique to urban waterways. As night falls, the lights along both banks gradually illuminate, with gentle light strips stretching along the river. The light reflections dance on the water, and as the evening breeze blows, the ripples shimmer softly, creating an incredible atmosphere. There's no need to brave crowded attractions; you can simply stay in your room and enjoy the ever-changing scenery of the Suzhou Creek, from day to night. After a busy day of sightseeing, gazing quietly at the river view outside the window feels as if the city's hustle and bustle are completely shut out. Your mind gradually calms, and fatigue melts away. This hotel's greatest highlights are its prime location coupled with the calming Suzhou Creek views. Having such a relaxing viewing experience in the city center is exceptionally rare. My overall stay was comfortable and pleasant, with no disappointments. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy city river views; it offers outstanding value for money. The next time I visit Shanghai, this hotel will definitely be my top choice again."

Shanghai Hotels: Where to Stay from People's Square to Lujiazui & Pudong Airport

About Shanghai

Shanghai is one of China's four direct-controlled municipalities, a global financial centre with among the most high-rises of any city in the world. The Huangpu River cuts through the middle, splitting the city into Puxi (the historic west side) and Pudong (the futuristic east). The Bund promenade runs along the Puxi waterfront, pairing colonial-era architecture with views across to Pudong's towers; inland, Yu Garden preserves a Ming Dynasty retreat of pavilions and rockeries, and Shanghai Disney Resort anchors the eastern edge of the city as mainland China's first Disney resort.

When to Book Shanghai Hotels

  • Book Shanghai hotels well ahead during peak seasons (national holidays, spring, and autumn), especially near The Bund, where rooms fill up fast and rates climb.
  • During China's Golden Week (October 1-7), book Shanghai accommodation as early as possible; last-minute planning yields poor rates and limited availability citywide.
  • For Shanghai hotel deals on Trip.com, the best off-season windows are mid-January to February (20-35% off), mid-April and June (15-30% off), and October to November (20-40% off).
  • On Trip.com, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays tend to have lower pricing for Shanghai hotels; avoid Friday evenings, Sunday nights, and Monday mornings when booking surges push rates higher.
  • Use Trip.com's filters to narrow Shanghai hotel searches by price range, star rating, amenities (pool, gym, free Wi-Fi, breakfast included), and guest review scores.
  • Check recent guest reviews and photos on Trip.com before booking to gauge real service quality, cleanliness, and the overall experience at specific Shanghai hotels.
  • Pick Shanghai hotels near Metro stations or major attractions for convenience during peak periods, and always check cancellation policies; flexibility matters most during high-demand travel windows.
  • Trip.com offers up to 8% hotel coupon for new users applicable to all Shanghai hotels; bundling flights and hotels together yields additional savings, and the loyalty program earns Trip Coins redeemable for future booking discounts.

Shanghai Travel Essentials

Getting Around

  • Shanghai Metro spans over 800 km of track across 19 lines and 396 stations. Stations run roughly 5:30am to midnight, with extended hours on Friday and Saturday in the city centre.
  • From Pudong Airport (PVG): the Maglev train reaches Longyang Road in under 10 minutes (¥40-50, ~$5.90-$7.38); a taxi to the city centre takes 1-1.5 hours (¥170-210, ~$25.08-$30.99); the Metro costs ¥4 (~$0.59) but takes about 1.5 hours.
  • Metro Line 2 connects both Pudong and Hongqiao airports as the key east-west artery; Line 10 serves old Shanghai neighborhoods including Yu Garden.

Food & Dining

  • Shanghai's local cuisine is benbang cai (本帮菜), a branch of Huaiyang cooking that favours sugar, soy sauce, and oil, with seafood featured prominently.
  • Xiao long bao (小笼包) are steamed pork soup dumplings served with vinegar and ginger: bite a hole, drink the soup, then eat. Shengjian bao (生煎), the pan-fried version with crispy bottoms, are a local Shanghai specialty.
  • Mealtimes run early: lunch around 11:30am-noon, dinner around 5:30-6pm. Tipping is not customary.

Entry Requirements

  • 50 eligible countries enjoy 30-day visa-free entry to China for tourism and business (valid until December 31, 2026); a 240-hour transit visa-on-arrival is also available. US citizens are not covered by the visa waiver and must apply for a tourist visa before traveling.
  • No routine vaccinations are required for entry into China. A passport valid for the duration of your intended stay is needed; temporary or emergency travel documents may not be accepted.
  • The official currency is CNY (¥). Credit cards are widely accepted at Shanghai hotels and restaurants, but carry small cash for street vendors and local stalls.

Weather & Best Time to Visit

  • Shanghai has a humid subtropical climate. Spring (March-May, 12-22°C) and autumn (September-November, 18-25°C) are the best seasons to visit; autumn, with its dry air and golden foliage, is widely considered the single best season for sightseeing.
  • Summer (June-August, 25-35°C) is hot and humid; June brings Plum Rain with daily showers lasting weeks, and typhoons are possible in July-August. Humidity often exceeds 80%, so carry a light rain jacket.
  • Winter (December-February, 0-10°C) rarely drops below 1°C, with snow uncommon but chilly winds frequent. Hotel prices are lowest in winter and highest during spring/autumn peak seasons and Golden Week (October 1-7), when domestic travel surges across China.

※ Prices and policies vary by season and are subject to change. Confirm with official sources before booking.
