I never expected to see the Ritz and JW Marriott under $300 let alone almost 1/2 that price. Is it cheaper in Asia, low season?

Le Royal Meriden Shanghai is a very good choice. I have stayed over 30 times there and am very satisfied with the service there.
JW Shanghai is at a similar location. In terms of lounge, the lounge at JW offers better food than Le Royal Meridien. They are quite friendly too -- I guess that's why it's one of the world's most favorite JWs, according to a poll at FlyerTalk. It's slightly more expensive though(about $20). They do tend to offer full suite upgrades for platinum, rather than the standard junior suite at Le Royal Meridien. Anyway, both hotels are very viable choices. You can walk from one hotel to another in about 5 minutes.

Thanks for the great description and research. Le Royal Meridian sounds like a great location and property. I have nothing against Marriott (finally made Silver) but every time I am in one I get the feeling I have entered a palace and I wonder what they would think when a bunch of FT's take over the executive lounge.....:D

Most people on FlyerTea prefer November. The most common response us: Well, this is really interesting event and we would like to attend. But it's too far away and we can't plan that far away.

Seems most people here prefer Nov, we'll wait for TravellerOnline to post a similar post on FlyerTea and pick a date that would work for most people.
As for a tour of the facility @PVG/SHA, if we have enough responses, we can certainly ask folks on FlyerTea if they've got contacts. But does anyone ever had experience dealing with the airport authority and request for such tour? |
Please add me to the "Maybe" list! It's too far in advance to plan a date, so any date is fine with me.
|
The general consensus appears that Nov 11-14 will work best for both Flyertalkers and FlyTeas. Plus 11/11/11 isn't a date that come around too often...
Therefore, the front page has been updated with the Nov date as the official DO date. Please review your attendance and hotel preference and notify us if anything changes. Eddie(UpgradedFirst) is looking into the hotel rate for us and remember the more people we get the more bargaining power we have. |
Always nice to have a date now. It help a lot as we can book awards the day they become available.
I'm reconfirming my intent to show up for November barring any force majeure* events: *As used in this rule, “force majeure” means actual, threatened or reported: (1) Weather conditions or acts of God (2) Riots, civil unrest, embargoes, war, hostilities, or unsettled international conditions (3) Strikes, work stoppages, slowdowns, lockout, or any other labor-related dispute (4) Government regulation, demand, directive or requirement (5) Shortages of labor, fuel, or facilities (6) Any other condition beyond my control or any fact not reasonably foreseen by myself |
Too early to know for SURE, but definitely interested!!
Attendance: HOPE SO! Date Choice: Nov 11-14 # of attendees: 1 Hotel Preference: Either LM or Westin on the Bund Other Suggested activities: We've done brunch at M on the Bund in the past, that was a LOT of fun. Dave |
Attendance: Interested
Date Choice: Nov # of attendees: 2 (myself and Mr Falconea Hotel Preference: Not too expensive. With non-smoking floor and restaurant, if possible. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out! I am planning a trip to Hong Kong at around this time - are there any interesting transport options between Hong Kong and Shanghai? Train? Audrey |
