What is the Shanghai Maglev Train
The Shanghai Maglev Train is the world’s first commercially operational high-speed maglev railway line. It functions exclusively as a dedicated high-speed airport transfer service linking downtown Shanghai and Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
Stretching 30 kilometers in total, this direct non-stop line operates at a cruising speed of 300 km/h, completing each one-way journey in approximately 8 minutes. It is primarily used for fast airport commuting and is also a popular unique travel experience for international visitors.

If you want to save time to the metro station and take a fast ride, it's worth taking the ride.

It takes about 8 minutes to get there. It's very convenient.

Thanks to trip.com, I bought Maglev tickets with coins :), meaning the ride was free. We exited the metro, and there were signs everywhere directing us where to go. But you could have bought tickets at the ticket office, too; there were no lines. There's no schedule either, just trains run every 15-20 minutes. Plan your time accordingly if you're in a hurry to get to the airport (since you'll also have to take the "local metro" if the exits are far from check-in). It's probably not worth it as an attraction, but it's very convenient as a quick way to get to the airport.
5/5
It's a fun ride, like a fun amusement park ride. Unfortunately, the speed is only 300 km/h. It costs 1,000 rubles per person. Definitely worth a try. I think it takes about the same amount of time as the metro, with boarding, disembarking, and transferring to the same metro line. Overall, it's worth it from the airport; the ride back to the airport is up to you.
5/5
It takes only 8 minutes to get there, so you can reach Nanjing East Road quickly by subway! I tried it on the first day and liked it, so I purchased a ticket and used it again! It's great because you get a discount if you book in advance, even if you don't have a flight ticket for the day!

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and was extremely satisfied with both the facilities and the service.
The location was excellent, the room was comfortable and clean, and everything was well managed. Most of all, I was truly impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the staff.
I would especially like to thank Jeff Chen. During my stay, I encountered a situation that was difficult to resolve, but Jeff went above and beyond to help me. He listened carefully, understood my concerns, and did everything he could to find a solution. He was incredibly kind, patient, and professional throughout the entire process.
Thanks to Jeff, what could have been a stressful situation turned into a very positive experience. His genuine care and excellent customer service made a lasting impression on me.

I really have to commend Tristan at the front desk. I had a very unpleasant experience during check-in, and I was feeling quite upset. But because of the wonderful Tristan, a very lovely lady, who was gentle, attentive, and had such a kind attitude, what was originally a very frustrating situation became much more bearable thanks to her comforting words. I could truly feel that she genuinely cares about the guests, and she was both professional and empathetic. Many thanks to Tristan.

Huaihai Road Area/Xintiandi Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
It felt like stepping back into the 1930s. All the facilities, though vintage, were fully functional. My room was near the elevator, but a screen cleverly shielded the entrance, so it wasn't directly facing it. The elevators were fast and plentiful, preventing any congestion during peak hours. The room was well-stocked with amenities, and I appreciated all the thoughtful little details. Breakfast was incredibly generous; I especially loved the Japanese breakfast with soba, sushi, and onsen eggs, though there were plenty of other options too. The rooftop cafe offered a panoramic view of the garden, but unfortunately, I missed out on the afternoon tea set that day, which was a real shame. The food in the banquet hall was also incredibly rich and varied. It really feels like you get to enjoy good food in these kind of old-money hotels.From€138

Our stay at Conrad Shanghai was nothing short of exceptional! From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything exceeded our expectations.

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|0.85km from city centre
My friend was only staying in Shanghai for a day, so naturally, I wanted to give her an itinerary that offered both 'old-world charm and new-age chic.' While passing Nanjing West Road recently, this InterContinental 'Luxury Collection' hotel immediately caught my eye. And just as I expected, critical as she is, she complimented my taste the moment she walked in.
Its most appealing features are its convenient location and its ability to be a tranquil oasis amidst the bustle: step outside, and you're on the vibrant Nanjing Road; turn around, and you're in the quiet serenity of a residential area. My friend said the elevator decor instantly made her feel like she'd 'traveled through time,' and that unique 'Haitian style' evoked long-lost memories of Shanghai. She had originally come to sightsee but happily spent most of her day lingering at the hotel.
What she loved most were the terrace and the restaurant. On a summer evening, the breeze felt just like those childhood nights spent cooling off in the alleyways – she used to live in a Shikumen house. She remarked, 'If only I could lie in a wicker chair, fan myself with a palm-leaf fan, eat watermelon, and watch an outdoor movie, that would be truly divine.' She also adored the red hanging ornament in the lobby; it was vibrantly bright, yet its glass texture gave it a lively feel, much like Shanghai's character – passionate yet steady, with a touch of lightness within its composure.
The food did not disappoint either. I pushed her to try the Shiqipu Noodle Restaurant, where the owner asked in Shanghainese, 'Mi dao ai hao fa?' (Is the taste good?), and she smiled and replied, 'Authentic,' instantly tearing up. She specifically bought the sweet variety of butterfly pastries from the International Hotel – saying 'only sweet is truly Shanghai.' Her only regret was: having stayed in too many foreign-style grand hotels, this time, with Shanghai elements everywhere and Shanghai flavors in every bite, it was 'just missing the sound of Shanghai.' Perhaps the cicada chirps in the alleyways and the hawkers' cries from the Shikumen are the hometown sounds she truly yearns to hear.
However, she has already declared: the next time she returns, this will be her chosen hotel, and she plans to visit all the routes I arranged. I believe the charm of Shanghai has never been in its superficial glamour but in its ability to always find the most fitting way to blend East and West, ancient and modern, living as a unique 'Haipai' (Shanghai style). This is also the root that every Shanghainese person cherishes.
Below are the three half-day itinerary options I created for her, which I've also compiled here, hoping they might help someone else:
Option 1 · A Stroll Through Old Shanghai Charm
Start from the hotel's main entrance on Fengyang Road and turn into Huanghe Road. The Changjiang Building and Changjiang Theater were the last residences of Eileen Chang; Huanghe Road is the origin of 'Blossoms Shanghai' (Fan Hua). The International Hotel is where her mother and aunt once stayed; next to it, the Sports Museum is rumored to be where Eileen Chang used to study. Diagonally opposite is the History Museum (formerly the Racecourse); the East Wing houses the old bronze lions from the HSBC Building on the Bund, and the 'Echoes of Shanghai' exhibition in the West Wing happens to talk about the past of Fengyang Road. The ornate windows of the West Wing and the Changjiang Building, mirroring the hotel's architecture, perfectly showcase the most fashionable Art Deco style of the 1930s.
Option 2 · Tracing Red Memories
Walk along Chengdu North Road to the Secretariat of the China Labor Movement, to see how Shanghai workers united into a revolutionary force; then visit the former site of the Songpu Special Committee. Go to the Sihang Warehouse to hear the echoes of the Battle of Shanghai and see the bullet-riddled walls recount the tragedy of that year. At night, turn into Xiang Kang Li on Xinchang Road to find the former site of the CCP Central Committee's secret printing press; on Nanjing West Road, there is also the former site of the Soviet Liaison Office, where, amidst the flickering lights, memories of the past reside.
Option 3 · Modern and Retro Collision
The LV 'Big Boat' on Nanjing West Road is currently a popular spot for photos; after visiting, turn into Wujiang Road for shopping and dining, and further ahead is Zhangyuan Shikumen – where new trends emerge in old alleyways, perfect for capturing stunning photos.
Food Tips
· The hotel restaurant's afternoon tea set is exquisite and picture-perfect.
· Shiqipu Noodle Restaurant (the owner's Shanghainese is a living signboard).
· Deda Western Restaurant and Gongdelin Noodle Restaurant, each with its own charm.
· Donghai Small Restaurant (authentic Ningbo cuisine).
· Chongming cuisine on the second floor of the hotel, authentic local flavors.
· International Hotel butterfly pastries, remember to choose the sweet ones.
Though the day was short, the essence of Shanghai will give her much to savor. When she returns next time, we'll continue our journey.From€162

I specifically chose this hotel to host my foreign friends. It has a lot of character and the location is absolutely perfect—at most a 10-minute walk to the Bund and just 5 minutes to Yuyuan Garden. The rooms are very clean, the service attitude is exceptional, and they even gave us a small gift upon check-out.

We were very happy with the customer service at The Westin Bund Hotel. All the staff we spoke to were very helpful, friendly and able to speak English, which made our stay very easy and comfortable.
Our room was a little hot and the air conditioning was not working properly. We contacted the hotel and they immediately sent staff to check the issue. One of the staff members even came with a thermometer to check the room temperature. They also sent a fan within a few minutes to make us more comfortable. In the end, they offered to move us to another room.
The service was truly above and beyond. They took our concern seriously and did everything they could to make our stay comfortable. This is exactly what you expect from a 5-star hotel.
The gym is quite big and has a good range of equipment. The swimming pool is also nice and has lifeguards on duty.
The hotel is in a good location and easy to get around. Breakfast was also very good, with a good selection of Chinese and Westin options, as well as a few Japanese and Indian dishes.
There is also a small convenience store next door where you can buy snacks, drinks and other basic items, which was very convenient.

The hotel was exceptionally clean and tidy. It was recommended by my foreign colleagues for my business trip to Shanghai. The surrounding area is bustling, located in the core business district of Jing'an Temple, making it very convenient for subway travel, shopping, and sightseeing. The bedding in the room was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a good night's rest for my business trip. I happened to be there during a typhoon with heavy rain in Shanghai, and I particularly appreciate the doorman who promptly helped with my luggage.

Decent stay, but several misses for a 5-star property
My stay at the Pullman Shanghai Central was a mixed bag—nice in some areas, but disappointing in others.
Check-in: The staff were very friendly and welcoming on our first day. However, I was surprised that they wouldn't let me check in until 3:00 PM. At most other hotels, I'm usually able to get an early check-in (even if I arrive at noon), so this felt a bit rigid for a property of this level.
The Room: The room itself was comfortable—the bed was soft and the shower pressure was actually perfect (not too strong, not too weak, just right). Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke upon arrival. To their credit, when I called the front desk, they immediately offered to change my room, which was very professional of them.
Breakfast: This was the biggest letdown. The breakfast buffet felt more like what you'd expect from a 3-star hotel rather than a 5-star Pullman. The quality and selection just weren't there for me.
Overall: It was an okay stay—nothing terrible, but nothing exceptional either. I wouldn't rate it a 10/10, more like a solid 6. Good service from the staff, but the check-in policy, smoke issue, and food really held it back.From€110

This is a Japanese-style ryokan where rooms are spread across individual two-story buildings, offering a relatively private and quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, and each comes with its own independent entrance. The hotel provides a shuttle bus that takes about 5 minutes to reach Disneyland, and morning and evening transfers can be reserved. In the morning, you generally only need to wait about 10 minutes to board the 7-seater van. For the evening, booking two hours in advance is usually sufficient to get on the bus on time, and the driver will also call to coordinate. The drop-off and pick-up point is located right next to the Disneyland metro and bus lines, and it takes about a 10-minute walk to get to Disneyland. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Especially considering that most surrounding hotels cost over 1,000 RMB (4 digits), we managed to snag a special rate under 1,000 RMB, making it very good value for money.

This hotel has a distinct Japanese vibe, and with parking right at the entrance, it's perfect for a quick overnight stay after visiting Disneyland.
The duplex room has the bed on the second floor, with the foot of the bed facing a window. The blinds aren't very good at blocking out light, so it can get a bit bright in the morning if the weather's nice. The first floor has a small living room, a bathroom, a TV, and a small entryway. Kids would really enjoy this layout. The only downside is that since there are no windows on the first floor, there's a sewage smell in the bathroom. It's quite strong when you first enter, but you get used to it after a while. (^_^)
Due to time constraints, we didn't get to try the onsen. Breakfast was simple, a set meal from Yonghe King. Within a kilometer, you'll find Chuansha Ancient Town, the God of Wealth Temple, and Ancient City Wall Park, making it great for a stroll the next day.

Pros:
1. The location is excellent. It's only about two or three kilometers by taxi to places like the Bund. The hotel is right next to Xintiandi, which is a very trendy and fashionable district, perfect for young people.
2. The rooms are spacious, and the decor doesn't look old-fashioned.
Cons:
Our group of three booked two rooms for three nights each, and our total room expense over these three days was over 8,000 RMB. One morning, I woke up early and asked if the hotel could offer a complimentary single breakfast for just me. The hotel refused, stating that breakfast costs 200 RMB per person. I've stayed in many five-star hotels in various places, and this is the only one that was so adamant about not providing a complimentary breakfast. If we had only stayed for one night, I might have understood, but I found their refusal quite surprising.
Also, the hotel has live band performances in the evening. I asked a server if I could sit down and listen, but the server said it was a consumption area and I couldn't sit without making a purchase. I wonder why the hotel's dining area occupies such a large public space in the lobby, yet hotel guests aren't allowed to sit and enjoy the music. I hope the hotel can address this in the future.From€205

Staying at The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai once again reminded me of what it means to be the 'benchmark of Ritz-Carlton excellence.' While the building itself shows signs of age, it's precisely this history that lends it a sophisticated, old-money elegance. The location is absolutely impeccable, making it incredibly convenient to get around, and the surrounding dining options are so abundant, it's hard to choose!
I especially want to thank the Grace team for their incredibly warm service. Every detail truly embodied the Ritz-Carlton's hospitality philosophy – it felt both genuinely warm and incredibly refined. With the Shanghai Rolex Masters happening, the hotel was particularly lively. It just goes to show that even an 'old Ferrari' (referring to the classic Ritz-Carlton brand) still attracts so many guests. And that lion statue was just too enthusiastic; it's become a网红 hotspot for photos, with everyone wanting to snap a picture with it as they pass by.
Next time I'm in Shanghai, I won't hesitate to choose this hotel again. Thank you, The Portman Ritz-Carlton, Shanghai, and thank you, Grace team, for adding an unforgettable touch of warmth to this trip.

Although the Grand Hyatt Jin Mao, built in 1999, is showing its age—which lowered our expectations—it actually turned out to be a great stay. The doormen actively opened car doors and retrieved our luggage. The front desk accommodated our requests as much as possible, upgrading us to a Grand Club River View Room on the 80th floor facing the Puxi Bund. The room was well-maintained, feeling fresh and clean. In the Executive Lounge, the afternoon tea's blueberry scones and walnut cake were quite good (the coffee machine is located in the innermost corner), though the evening canapés were of mediocre quality—I had the salted salmon. Breakfast on the 56th floor was decent; if you walk to the northernmost buffet station and look inside, you'll find freshly pan-fried buns (shengjianbao) and potstickers, which were delicious. The room is 40 square meters, and the bathroom is small and compact. Still, it's totally worth visiting for the experience—both its exterior and interior are the most stunning among the 'three major skyscrapers'.From€204

The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to go anywhere, and there are many great food options nearby.

The Bund Area Shanghai|2.48km from city centre
The location speaks for itself—a prime scenic spot! The room was amazing! The service was truly exceptional, thoughtful, proactive, and attentive!
Special recognition goes to Dawson Tang, the front office duty manager who assisted us!
Since I was traveling with a child, the hotel's standard check-in time is 3:00 PM. However, I had an important commitment in the afternoon and urgently needed to check in early. Understanding the situation, Dawson immediately coordinated with the housekeeping department to prioritize room cleaning and personally went to inspect the room. By the time I arrived, check-in was ready, and we even found a special surprise prepared for my child in the room. It was so heartwarming!
Dawson simply asked about my afternoon schedule and anticipated that we might miss dinner. He thoughtfully arranged access to the executive lounge afternoon tea for us. Such attentive service was truly touching!
We learned after checking in that hundreds of foreign tourists were checking in and out during the day, meaning the staff had to put in an immense amount of extra effort and energy to get our room ready on time. Despite such a busy period, Dawson didn't overlook our needs and still went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and valued!
When I visit Shanghai again, Hyatt On The Bund will be my top choice! Truly incredible value for money!
No more words, time for photos! The view from the room matched my mood—stunningly beautiful, even with a typhoon passing through!From€152

Jing'an District/West Nanjing Road Shanghai|2.33km from city centre
The room was more spacious than it appeared in the photos. The executive room's grey-blue wallpaper, which isn't present in the standard rooms, matched the carpet color better. I stayed in an east-facing room, which offered a clear view of the Lujiazui 'three-piece suit' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers), and the actual view was even more impressive than in pictures.
The breakfast at the executive lounge was excellent; both the buffet items and the made-to-order dishes were delicious. The afternoon tea selection was quite ordinary. A minor drawback was the absence of lunch service.
The lobby on the first floor of the Jing An branch was a bit dark, and there were many people passing through from the mall. For executive floor guests, I recommend checking in directly at the lounge.From€251

Lujiazui Area Shanghai|3.19km from city centre
We had a very good stay at the Grand Kempinski Shanghai Hotel. The service was good and the staff were friendly and helpful.
The breakfast had a good range of Western and Chinese food, as well as some Japanese dishes. There was also an ice cream station, which was a nice bonus.
The hotel has a bar on one of the higher floors where you can enjoy a great view of the Oriental Pearl Tower.
The gym is also nice and has a decent range of equipment. There is also a pool and spa massage on the same level as the gym.
The location is very convenient. There are many food shops and restaurants within just a few minutes walk from the hotel. It is also close to popular attractions such as the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium and the Oriental Pearl Tower.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay.From€150
Breakfast

Sheshan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|35.83km from city centre
I specially chose this hotel I'd been dreaming of to celebrate my birthday. Initially, I booked a room facing just the waterfall, but upon arrival, I decided to change rooms. Xiaotong at the front desk enthusiastically introduced Room 1521 to us—a duplex where the lower level is underwater and the upper level is above water. It kept the waterfall view while also letting us share the space with plenty of fish. We were extremely satisfied! The hotel provided a complimentary fruit basket and pastries, plus a birthday cake, and thoughtfully set up a celebratory birthday atmosphere. They even thoughtfully surprised us with longevity noodles while we were having dinner at the executive lounge—it was one pleasant surprise after another. The breakfast on the second day was extensive and of great quality. When we left some belongings behind at the hotel, the front desk proactively called to remind us and even had SF Express courier them to our home. I was truly touched.From€192

Hygiene: Satisfied, quite clean.
Facilities: Well-equipped, though the air conditioning was a bit difficult to adjust.
Service: A big commendation to the front desk duty manager who answered the phone and handled my issue on the evening of March 13th. There was a slight problem with my room type upon check-in, and the duty manager resolved it promptly and with a sincere attitude. Very satisfied!From€79

Everbright Convention and Exhibition Center Shanghai|12.35km from city centre
The hotel has an incredible, highly distinctive design. The location is a bit tricky to find, so it's recommended to follow the photo guide on Trip.com: head to the second-floor terrace via the escalator near the shopping mall's parking lot exit and follow the signs. The accommodation experience is also very fresh and modern. You can walk straight down the road outside right to Korea Town, which is super convenient. The 2-meter king-size bed is ultra-comfortable and spacious enough for a family of three, so you don't have to worry about a child falling off the bed.From€29
