St. Regis might also be on the list. How far away are these places (taxi and train) from the sightseeing and nightlife we'd want to do in a two day trip?
Any other major western chain hotels you think are better located?
We stayed at the Renaissance last year during the Shanghai DO. They gave us a nice little fold out map with all the major tourist stops in chinese/english to show the cab drivers.
We generally did not find the taxis to be that much of a problem getting around. And during our four night stay only had a long slow taxi ride one time. Nights were never a problem
We are going back again in April but are planning to stay at the St Regis this time.
