Thanks moondog.

Are there any hotels that are truly "close" to PVG? Given the nature of the assignment, I wonder if I'll be forced to stay on/near airport property.

Also, what's the incremental difference in "commute time" between St. Regis/PVG and Hyatt/PVG?

Thanks again.

EDITED TO ADD: Looks like I'm going -- maybe even next week. I really can't find anything detailed about the maglev train service -- is this now operational? Is the Longyang Road station in an interesting area and/or near any of the aforementioned hotels?

The St. Regis and the Holiday Inn are the two closest hotels to PVG, but "close" is a relative term (35 minutes v. 40 minutes). Given this and that there is nothing around either of the aforementioned properties, I suggest either the Hyatt or the Shangri-La because Lujia Zui is increasingly interesting and you'll be reasonably close to the action in Puxi.</font>
