The flight hasn't operated for some time. Driver is ok if the trafic is with you but can take 3 hours, but at least it's door to door. Train is ok but it goes to a fairly inconvenient Station in Shanghai and not a great option if you have much luggage

The D Trains (the fastest trains) depart and arrive at SHANGHAI SOUTH station. This is the new, circular-shaped station in the city. Actually, the location is not that inconvenient becuase it is located next to a major highway. Last time, from Hyatt on the Bund to Shanghai South Station, it took 18 minutes by taxi. I had to catch the 1:00pm D Train on a weekday, but absolutely no traffic on the roads at that time of day. The D Train from Shanghai to Hangzhou was RMB 50 one-way.

Hyatt Regency Hangzhou tips
I was thinking about taking a trip out to Hangzhou, but the prices for this summer are surprisingly high for a Chinese hotel (not in Shanghai/Beijing/HK). It looks to be about $200 per night! Does anybody have any tips on any way to get a better rate at this hotel? It seems like a nice hotel, but there's a new Four Points that I can get on cash + points for like $30 and minimal starpoints, makes it hard to justify paying that much. I know someone mentioned an advertisement in chinese newspapers for a Hyatt package deal (something like 3000 RMB for a night at each Hyatt in China plus some other things)... anything along those lines, or a code? Thanks in advance!

Beautiful hotel, great location, friendly staff -- but my god I hate being nickel-and-dime'd.
Having come from the St. Regis Shanghai (free everything, shockingly awesome upgrade, incredible staff, great price), it's like an expensive smack in the face.
- 10 RMB ($1.30) to print one page
- 90 RMB ($13) for internet
- 100 RMB ($14.50) for a roll-away since the beds were TWIN rather than FULL
- No free drinks, lounge access, upgrades, diddly-squat for a Plat (I know, not Diamond, still you'd hope for something)

The "fee for everything" (internet, drinks, printing...) at the Hyatt applies to everyone -- I asked.
The only thing I missed out on by not being Hyatt Diamond was a room upgrade.
