It’s at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, think it’s on line 2 or 7 Wrt the new expo center: 1. You definitely don't want to stay over there unless you have nothing else to do other than business 2. Line 7 is marginally better than Line 2 because Huamu Rd Stn is closest -but its route is a bit circuitous 3. The main issue here is that the Sofitel is not especially convenient to Line 2, and Line 7 is out of the question ETA: Upon further thought, the Jing'an Shangrli La is my top pick for you because it is directly on top of Line 7 (e.g. you don't need to exit the building), and is a much nicer hotel than the Sofitel. Sure, the cost is a bit higher, but not by much in light of the fact that you won't need to waste time/money on taxis. |
Thanks moondog, appreciate the insight. Is there an Accor Property you’d recommend? Prefer to stay Accor given my Plat status - nothing with others. Never been to Shanghai before, will have a day and a half to do some sightseeing. Cheers |
The Sofitel is a 5 min walk from Line 2. |

Sadly, this isn't the case with People's Square. Let me think more about Accor options and PM you.

I don't understand what you mean. Isn't Nanjing E Rd an interchange station for lines 2 and 10 (albeit a long interchange)?

You can consider Swissotel Shanghai. It is Jingan temple area, subway station is 1 min far by foot. Sofitel Hyland is not a good hotel.

It looks like it’s a lot further away from SNIEC. Is it the case that it’s not? |

Having now stayed at both the Swissotel Shanghai Grand and the Sofitel Shanghai Hyland, I would have to say that I prefer the Sofitel.
Pros of the Sofitel compared to Swissotel

Sofitel is actually a 2 min walk from East Nanjing Street subway - you don't need to go to People's Square to get the subway.
In terms of location, I don't know many other people who would vote for nj East Road in favor of ja. The pedestrian street has no historical value, and is chalked full of hawkers. Of course the Bund is a must see, but it isn't difficult to get there from ja. |
