Four Points by Sheraton Shanghai
In case anyone is planning a trip to Shanghai in May or after: the Four Points Shanghai is opening on 18 May. Opening rates are around RMB 1,100, but prepaid rates are as low as RMB 750. I'll be trying the Four Points end of May, but if anyone goes there in the weeks before me, please try and post a stay report. Thanks.
On another note, Shanghai seems to be quite a good location to hotel hop and rack up some stays to achieve status in SPG--St. Regis, Westin, Sheraton, and now Four Points!

Just curious if anyone knows what happens if a reservation is made and the opening is not achieved?
I was debating staying there April 4 at the time it was suppose to be the March 28 opening.

I noticed that the location is overlooking the Huangpu River in the Lujiazui financial district on Pudong side. The map does not show much detail...does anyone know of the exact location? Is it next to Jin Mao building or the Shangri La?

If I'm not mistaken, the W site is on the river near the Shangri-La.

Looking forward to checking this place out next time I'm in Shanghai. Can't wait to see how the W turns out as well.

I'm more excited about the Westin Beijing Financial Street opening this fall, in September.

Four Points Sheraton Shanghai
At Cat 2 the Four Points Shanghai seems pretty good value compared to the other SPG properties at Cat 4 & 5.
Can someone comment further on the location of this hotel.
Thanks

My plans are to book for April 4 so I will send a report from their free wireless unless the opening is so soft that the wireless is not functioning on that date.
What I am more concerned about is explaining to a taxi driver who doesn't speak any of the languages that I do very well that I want to go to a just opened hotel.
