Definitely try for the Swiss friends and family deal; it's been discussed in a few recent threads. If that fails, I am still a supporter of Pan Harvest, Shanghai Hotel, and Jing'an Hotel. For all three, it's critical to try to splurge for an upgrade or two because standard rooms are tiny. It will be worth your while to nail down the Swiss, even if you can only swing one night there (the special rate isn't always available).
