Activities
With its excellent facilities there is lots to do in the hotel but it is also essential to venture out and explore Shanghai. This fast-paced city has lots to see; a visit to the historic Bund is a must and it is also worth visiting at night for electrifying views onto Pudong. The French Concession is also worth seeing with its quirky shops and cafés and important sights include the Yu Gardens, Shanghai Museum and the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Centre for a futuristic view of the city. By night venture out to the many incredible restaurants and bars in town and we can certainly make some recommendations for you.
