Hotels in Shanghai - China World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Shanghai - China Travel Guide http://goo.gl/Cl0qNG Particularly when compared with other Chinese cities, Shanghai has an excellent choice of hotels. Slick new skyscraper hotels ensure the business market is well provided for, while historic hotels in old villas handle the rest of the top-end demand. Meanwhile, quality boutique hotels and some funky B&Bs add a touch of cool to the sleeping scene. Discounts are the norm (except during public holidays) and can be as much as 50%, especially at the higher end of the market. Apart from at youth hostels, it's exceptionally rare to pay rack rates, so always ask for a discount whether you're booking online or just turning up at the front desk. The Shanghai hotels below have been grouped into three pricing categories: Luxury (over ¥2,500) Moderate (¥1,000 to ¥2,500) Cheap (up to ¥1,000) These Shanghai hotel prices are per double room per night, and include all taxes. Breakfast is also usually included in the price. Mansion Hotel Combining historic charm and modern luxury like no other hotel in Shanghai, this truly exceptional place, housed in a beautiful 1930s building, was originally the residence and office of a trio of Shanghai gangsters. The lobby, corridors and even the rooms are filled with 20th-century memorabilia, but there's exquisite luxury too with super-soft carpets, beautifully upholstered wood furniture, big-screen satellite TVs, Wi-Fi and even private Jacuzzis! Fairmont Peace Hotel After more than three years of renovations, Shanghai's definitive art deco building reopened in 2010 under the direction of the Fairmont group. The main challenge in modernising the building was balancing out the architectural integrity of such an historic place with the need to upgrade a building that was not originally designed to be a hotel. Connoisseurs of old Shanghai will be pleased to know that the famous antediluvian jazz band is back in action. Park Hyatt Shanghai Spanning the 79th to 93rd floors of the towering Shanghai World Financial Centre - aka the bottle opener - this jaw-dropper is one of the world's highest hotels above ground level. Service is impeccable, facilities are top-notch, and its funky interior design is almost art gallery-like. Luxurious rooms come with quirky features, such as toilet seats that open automatically as you approach them, as well as outrageously good views. URBN China's first carbon neutral hotel has open-plan rooms that are beautifully designed with low furniture and sunken living areas exuding space. Bathtubs in the bedroom rather than in the bathroom (and sometimes right next to the bed!) are an unusual feature, while grey slate tiling gives this excellent boutique hotel its urban vibe. Pudi Boutique Hotel This exquisite 52-room boutique hotel in Shanghai gets excellent reviews for its trendy, ultra-modern rooms, professional staff and elite but accessible atmosphere. The interior is super stylish and alluringly dark hued; rooms are beautifully attired and spacious. Astor House Hotel Originally the Richards Hotel, this distinguished old gentleman, perched close to the Bund, was built in the latter part of the Qing dynasty in 1846, and was Shanghai's first hotel. More than 160 years on, there remains a distinct air of elegance, with the hotel's original wooden flooring still covering some of the halls and corridors. Rooms are huge, and some on the higher floors have river views. ========================================= Shanghai Museums, Shanghai Transport, Shanghai Tours, Shanghai Introduction, Shanghai Attractions, Shanghai Hotels, Shanghai Restaurants, Shanghai Shopping, Shanghai Nightlife, world travel video, Shanghai video, Shanghai, Shanghai Travel guide, Shanghai Tourism, Shanghai Vacation, China, China travel guide, China tourism, China vacation === Shanghai - China Travel Guide, Tourism, Vacation, Travel Tips, Attractions
