Hilton is our chain of choice for the points.

We don't know anything about the Equitorial, the prices seem low, $800 for 6 nights - a mistake perhaps?

Any comments on this area and these hotels would be welcome.
Hilton and Equitorial are not quite within walking distance but a short ride of taxi away. JC Mandarin is across the street from Ritz and may be not as expensive. City hotel is 10-15 min walking distance away and will be much cheaper.
Shanghai is safe but taxi is so cheap ( $2-3 USD per trip) might as well take the taxi
