To name a few. You can always call a hotel and ask them.

Hotels are supposed to check your entry stamp and many have a policy to wait 21 or 28 days from entry and some will quarantine you. Western 5* brands even have this.

I stayed at Hyatt on the Bund for ten days after 14-day's isolated quarantine . I called in advance to confirm and asked to provide the green code in the local health app as a pre-requisite.

The Hilton Garden Inn in Qingpu (near SHA) takes those who're on the +7 portion of their quarantine. It's the cheapest Hilton group hotel in Shanghai on points. If money is not an issue then all the major brand hotels are more than happy to take you (and your money).

After released from government 14-day quarantine, at the end of the day if you can't find a hotel to accept you, where can you go? Live in train station?

Another 7 days of government quarantine. But I think the working assumption is that everyone entering China now is an adult or accompanied by an adult who can confirm a hotel reservation in advance. So I don’t think they’re going to turn you loose to live in a van down by the river.

Do they limit your movement at all or keep track of you? My neighborhood committee seems to think its 7 days locked in the room with the only release for the 2 tests. I'd rather stay in a hotel if that's the case.

I always stay at Marriott/Renaissance in Shanghai (there are several of them). Occasionally stay at Ritz C. Hopefully at least some of them will take foreigners after initial 14-day quarantine period ends.

My fear is that zero tolerance mindset of the entire Chinese society would lead to longer government forced quarantine, e.g. 21 or even 28 days. This Fujian guy from Singapore who tested positive after 38 days of entry is not helping......

Shanghai is the only place I know of that does “community health monitoring” for the 3rd week meaning you’re free to roam the city but supposedly avoid large gatherings. And take a test day 21. Is your community in Shanghai?

All other cities lock you up for the 3rd week even if it’s your own home.

Like I said you don’t need to hope, just call them. Every hotel even within the same group has different policies.

My final destination was Beijing. During the 7 day (after the 14-day isolation), I was able to move around except I need to do PCR test on Day 17 and Day 21 and the tests results automatically showed up in the local health app. I was able to go to our office in Shanghai to work and go out to lunch/dinner just as business as usual.

I do understand if you stay in Putou district, there is stricter control in place that one cannot leave the hotel complex.

That's not allowed in Shanghai. You must switch to a "normal" hotel (or other accommodation) for the +7 portion of the quarantine.

There are no restrictions on your movement if you stay at a hotel in Shanghai. You're supposed to use common sense and avoid going to crowded places, to meet up with friends in restaurants/cafes/bars, etc.

Thanks. I called both of the bolded hotels (not interested in the others), and their room rates are pretty good. However, I'm hoping to get something for around Y500 per night that doesn't suck (i.e. no 7 Days Inns and no Minhang/Putuo/Jiading). I suppose I'd be okay with (former) Zhabei (good subway options up there). Advice appreciated.

I found this in a WeChat group about hotels so maybe you’ll find a cheaper one here
