MISTAKE Shanghai Radisson $17/Night
GTAHotels.com, by way ot Kayak.
Site shows $17 USD / night for 2 people, arrival Sept. 16, departure Sept. 18, at Radisson Sas Lansheng Hotel Shanghai.
Did not try to book it.
Edited to add: Other sites show $137/night, so it's a typo.

Nice find OP. Seems to start on/about the 16th and you can book it for 10 days, but it goes until Sept 30 and then the extra "1" kicks in to make it $117.

Gullivers is the name of the end booking agent on 2 great hotel deals
I used last summer through Octopus.com (Zurich and Cairo),
so it has a good chance of being honored.
I need to find the cancel conditions before booking,
but if same as octopus it was only one nights fee.
edit-
still cant find cancel T&C
also it says:
"On Request Booking: Once you submit this form,
we will check with the hotel to see if your requested accommodations are available.
You will receive a response by e-mail within 48 hours. "
so this is a likely complication.
tried again, a double for 8 days, this time it says instant confirm available,
but no luck finding the cancel T&C without giving CC number.
I will let this one pass, it seems.

I checked into this hotel and I can't find it listed as a Radisson property on any Radisson websites. Has anyone turned up this property as actually being a current Radisson property and not a former or future property.
Ok, this is actually the Hotel Langsheng now and is a former Radisson Property according to Orbitz. I may try to price match through Orbitz, but i am always kind of skeptical of staying at hotels that have been removed from major chains and have gone independent, based on if Radisson wasn't willing to keep this hotel they must have thought modernization wasn't cost effective.

I just come back from my 4-night-stay in that hotel a 12 Euro/night. Rate was honoured, hotel is ok, location is not very good for public transport or walking.
If anyone needs more information, send me a PM and I will post a short hotel report with some photos.
Once again, thanks to the OP ^ ^ ^
