1) What is the best hotel to stay at in centralized Shanghai? By this, I mean either in downtown Pudong (on the east side of the river) or on Waitan. We stayed at Les Suites Orient last time - which was quite nice - but it's a bit far from public transportation. I am Fairmont PC Premier, and think this might be a potential opportunity to use the free suite upgrade certificate, but I know there are plenty of other choices around. Assume cost is not an issue.
Jing'an Shangri-La or Puli.
2) What is the easiest way to get from downtown Shanghai to Nantong without going back to PVG and taking a bus?
I'm thinking taxi, but the buses from Shanghai Stn are not that bad, and obviously cost less.
