Book your next hotel venue in Shanghai’s diverse districts

Shanghai is divided into 16 districts with two main business areas, Lujiazui and The Bund. Central Huangpu – the most densely populated of the districts, contains many of the first-class venue hotels in Shanghai, close to major attractions and nightlife locations, as is Xuhui, another core urban district popular with business tourists. Changning is home to internationally relevant headquarters and the major airports for the city making it an ideal location for international delegates.

Jing’an and Putuo are culturally very traditional districts, and home to several temples and other historical attractions with great transport links to and from the city. Hongkou, with its universities and football stadium, has a young demographic, and with it, many great hip and trendy night spots and eateries. Yangpu also has its share of China’s most distinguished universities, and, close to the Bund, is a major destination for business events. Minhang, whilst predominantly a residential district, retains some of its ancient landmarks, and is also home to the Qizhong Forest Sports City Arena – a major tennis arena, with the neighbouring Jiading District holding the Chinese Grand Prix each year. For more rustic areas, you will find at the mouth of the Huangpu river, the district of Baoshan. Jinshan in the Southwest offers mountain-islands and beaches and is a popular tourist location, whilst Songjang, known as the cultural root of Shanghai has many historically noteworthy hotel venues denoting its rich diversity across 4 unique cultures.

If you are looking for the ideal tourist destination in Shanghai, Qingpu is a favourite, as is Fengxian with its greenery and beautiful beaches along Hangzhou Bay. Chongming consists of 3 islands at the mouth of the Yangtze, connected by 3 bridges to the mainland which makes the district a popular day-trip for social programmes.

Shanghai – the ideal city for your meetings, events or conferences

With so many hotel venues to choose from, you may have difficulty settling on just one hotel venue. Perhaps you are considering the Fairmont Peace Hotel On The Bund but can’t decide if The Peninsula Shanghai, Campanile Shanghai Bund Hotel or the The Ritz-Carlton Shangai is more suited to your event? Alternatively, you may be caught between the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai and the Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai for proximity to the Shanghai World Financial Centre? Or perhaps you have settled on a venue hotel in Shanghai city centre, but can’t choose between the W Shanghai – The Bund or the Shanghai Marriott Hotel City Centre?

Most of the first-class hotels can easily cater for large-scale accommodation and major corporate events. The Mandarin Oriental Pudong Shanghai, Waldorf Astoria Shanghai on the Bund, and the Park Hyatt Shanghai offer outstanding facilities, as do the JW Marriott Shanghai at Tomorrow Square, InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin and Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao. Enjoy stunning skyline views from the Swissotel Grand Shanghai, The Westin Bund Centre Shanghai and the coastally-located Hyatt Regency Shanghai Global Harbor, which is located in the heart of the shopping and entertainment hub. The Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai, Pullman Shanghai South, Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World and Jumeirah Himalayas Hotel Shanghai are amongst the top venue hotels for comfort, customer service and superb conference facilities, as are Le Royal Meridien Shanghai, Novotel Atlantis Shanghai, the Ibis Shanghai New Hongqiao and the Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao.

Organise an event programme to wow your delegates in Shanghai

Shanghai is a multicultural metropolis, which seems to have effortlessly blended both modern and traditional Chinese features to create a living, vibrant city, as free-flowing as the river which runs past its coastal districts.

Visit the Oriental Pearl Tower, Jin Mao Tower or Shanghai Tower for breathtaking views. Take a stroll around the People’s Park, the Yu Garden or the People’s Square, or for a unique experience, visit the Bund Sightseeing Tunnel. To get a flavour of Shanghai’s rich history, the City God Temple of Shanghai, Jing’an Temple, Longhua Temple and the Jade Buddha Temple are a must-see, and for those with a penchant for ancient artefacts, there are various museums including China Art Museum and Shanghai Museum. Tianzifang, as a touristic arts and crafts enclave showcases Shanghai’s modern and traditional creative exploits in one space, and the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium is both a natural and architectural wonder of its own.

Nanjing Road and Xujiahui are the main shopping areas of Shanghai, closely followed by Huaihai Road and Nanjing West Road with hundreds of shops and boutiques as well as malls to satisfy even the most ardent shopper; likewise, the New World area has parks and world-class galleries amidst its sizeable pedestrian shopping area. If you are looking for a little excitement, why not spend a day at the Shanghai Disney Resort or perhaps take a walk along the century-old Waibaidu Bridge, or Garden Bridge, as it is known in English.

Steamed crab, soup dumplings and Beggar’s chicken; these are all localities in Shanghai which are offered as street food, and in the best restaurants across the city. Try world-renowned Ultraviolet which provides a multi-sensory dining experience fusing food and technology; Dī Shuǐ Dòng loved by expats and locals, offers a relaxed atmosphere and a wide menu to suit all; Sìchuān Citizen is a popular restaurant, cocktail bar and teahouse, and Hǎi Dǐ Lāo delights its customers’ palates as a well-known sauce bar. Whatever your culinary preferences, Yang’s Fry Dumplings is a must for its famous sesame seed and scallion fried dumplings.

As with any vibrant and bustling city, Shanghai can hold its own when it comes to nightlife. The Shelter is a lightly renovated bomb shelter for gritty club nights and is high on many international conference delegates’ list; Arkham with two VIP rooms is host to many regular glitterati. For something a little different, spend an evening in Dada, a classic Shanghai dive bar or perhaps M2 – arguably one of the best nightclubs in Shanghai, delivers a fantastic night’s music and entertainment.
