A very good hotel in a convenient location not far from Peoples Square. Room was well-furnished, clean and quiet. Concierge staff very helpful. Hotel restaurants were slightly disappointing.

We visited shanghai on our last leg of the china tour at the end of May 08. We've been to many 4-5 star hotels on the trip in Beijing, Xi'an, Suzhou, Guilin. This one in Shanghai is one of our favorites. The location is great -- walking distance to Nanjing Road and the Bund Riverside. There're also some interesting local streets nearby where you can find food stands, convenient stores and just local life all day long. The breakfast buffet was great, although someone on our tour claimed to have got food poison from uncooked bacon at the omelet bar. Our room on the 11th floor was really clean, probably newly remoded. It's not big, but suffient. It has a gorgeous view over the bund and the high rises on the east side. In the evening, everything's lit up and it's beautiful. The TV has many channels to choose from including a number of english channels like CNN. Overall, we'd definitely stay here again when we come back to Shanghai on our own.

The hotel is in very good condition, room was very clean and furnished in an elegant modern style with flat-screen tv.
Located close to Nanjing Road (main shopping street).
Hotel staff is helpful and English speaking (more or less).
Breakfast was really great with a large choise of different dishes. The panoramic window of the breakfast room offers a nice view.
Whenever you go by taxi you need to have the Chinese address with you. At the reception desk you get a biz card where the address of the hotel as well as the most important tourist attractions are mentioned in Chinese. Take it with you, it's really helpful!
