Days Hotel Frontier Pudong

What Do I Need to Know About the City Hotel Shanghai?

This four-star business and family-friendly hotel with 26 floors and 270 rooms and suites offers many on-site amenities, primarily directed at the business traveler, including meeting and banquet rooms, executive-level floors with lounge and suites, and special business services.

The hotel has recently undergone renovations, offering spacious, modern rooms and suites with a non-smoking floor available. The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, gym, a sauna (for a fee, if not you're not staying on the executive floor), three restaurants, Internet (for a small fee), and lounge.

What's in the Area?

The Shanghai hotel offers panoramic views of People Square and is close to Nanjing East Road and Huaihai Road, a commercial zone that features many high-end shopping areas, as well as cultural attractions like the Shanghai Museum and event centers, such as the Shanghai Exhibition Center.

Something to be aware of is that this value hotel does sit on a main highway, which can make it difficult to get a taxi as well as walk to nearby sites. But luckily, you can get around that by using the Metro station located only a few blocks away.

What Are the Rates?

The City Hotel Shanghai offers value pricing, ranging from $69 to $101 per night for a Deluxe Room with one queen or two single beds. You can also opt for an Executive Room, which runs from $83 to $120, or an Executive Suite for $175 per night. All the rooms are spacious, including regular rooms that average about 250-square feet, all the way up to a suite that can span 530-square feet. Regular rooms feature special touches like a robe and slippers, air conditioning, international satellite TV and phone service, and a mini-bar. Executive rooms and suites, on the other hand, provide numerous perks, such as free access to the gym, indoor pool, and sauna, as well as one free laundered shirt through their dry cleaning service, express check-in/out, an executive lounge with free coffee and tea, and portable computer leasing. 

What's the Bottom Line?

This Shanghai hotel may not be the fanciest in the city, but it does offer good value, spacious rooms, and a long list of value-added amenities for the business traveler.
