Shop and Explore Shanghai From the Hotel's Doorstep

The hotel is directly across from Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, which is lined with fast food shops, high-end stores like Tiffany, and small shops selling local handicrafts. Non-shoppers can enjoy the street performers.

Guests are also within walking distance of the Bund. Take a cruise along the river and cross to the other side, lined with modern skyscrapers. The Oriental Pearl TV Tower and Shanghai World Financial Centre both have observation decks, offering views from high above the city.

Walk away from the river to reach People's Square and the Shanghai Museum.

The hotel has two restaurants on site, as well as room service, serving Mediterranean and Chinese food in Cantonese and Shanghai styles. Buffet breakfast is also served with both western and Chinese choices. Starbucks, at the rear of the hotel, gets visitors going with their favorite beverage in the morning. For nighttime beverages, the hotel's bar serves drinks and snacks. Premium wines are available by the glass or bottle.

The pedestrian shopping street across the way has all the familiar fast food chains like McDonald's and Pizza Hut. Explore side streets around the area to find restaurants where the locals eat. If you're brave, look for unusual food like hairy crabs!
