Le Royal Meriden Shanghai is a very good choice. I have stayed over 30 times there and am very satisfied with the service there.

JW Shanghai is at a similar location. In terms of lounge, the lounge at JW offers better food than Le Royal Meridien. They are quite friendly too -- I guess that's why it's one of the world's most favorite JWs, according to a poll at FlyerTalk. It's slightly more expensive though(about $20). They do tend to offer full suite upgrades for platinum, rather than the standard junior suite at Le Royal Meridien.

Anyway, both hotels are very viable choices. You can walk from one hotel to another in about 5 minutes.
