100-120/night in Shanghai?
Hello,
I'm expecting to be in Shanghai in the 3rd week of August. Where's highest quality place to stay for 100-120 per night? Would not like any hostel or motel type setting.
We'll be doing a few things:
-Exploring Shanghai
-Expo 1 Day
-Day trip to Suzhou
-Trip to Hangzhou
-A trip to a harbor town.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Try the JinJiang Tower (NOT one of the other JinJiang properties). It should be in your price range, and is quite nice -- a Chinese 4 or 5 star property (I don't remember which now) with very, very few westerners. I've stayed there a few times and enjoyed it.

Excellent location for boutique shopping and dining. Close to Puxi Expo site.
Might be some issues with the service there, but that can be overlooked.

We've always gotten good service there. Perhaps not the same as a 5-star western chain hotel but, as I mentioned, this is a Chinese hotel and primarily attracts Chinese business people. If I recall correctly, we've gotten rates as low as $78/night, but my wife (who is Chinese and speaks Mandarin as her primary language) arranged the bookings. I don't doubt that the rates have been upped for the Expo, though.

I feel compelled to chime in and state that I don't like any Jinjiang hotels, including the New Jinjiang. The old Jinjiang is almost bearable, but I'd take a nice room in a 168 over either.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned IHG's F&F, from 8/23-29, you can get an exec. room at CP for 870rmb. IC Puxi (deluxe) & HI Vista (exec. suite) is only 200rmb extra.

"NFAF" is apparently yielding executive floor rooms for y720 from 8/27-8/29. I'd grab this in a heartbeat if I was the OP (stay somewhere else 8/23-8/27).

>SWISSOTEL GRAND SHANGHAI, SHANGHAI for under CNY800?
I like the swissotel location too (near Jian An Temple subway station). So depends if you value location or hotel amenity more?? Also, will you plan to use subway or taxi? If you take Expo package (w/ transfer) and plan to use mainly taxi, your hotel location doesn't matter as much.
I also seconded allset2travel comments that Suzhou is doable as day trip, while will recommend Hangzhou as overnight trip (if you time permits).
