New World Shanghai Hotel

Shanghai


Stylish and excellent value for money, this neat and tastefully presented hotel zeroes in on business travellers, but also appeals to visitors who want more bang for their buck. The location seems to be far west of the city, but it's right by the Zhongshan Park metro stop (lines 2, 3 and 4) for quick zips into the centre of things.

Rooms are spacious and modern, and the breakfast buffet is recommended. There's an outdoor swimming pool on the 15th floor and hotel dining options are sound.
