2. How do I get to the hotel from the airport or railway stations? The hotel is highly accessible via Shanghai’s extensive subway network. From Pudong International Airport (PVG) or Hongqiao International Airport (SHA), you can take the subway to People’s Square Station (Lines 1, 2, and 8). The hotel is just a short walk from the station. Taxis and ride-hailing services are also readily available.
3. What is the exact address and how do I find the entrance? The hotel is located at 5th Floor, No. 336 Xizang Middle Road, Huangpu District, Shanghai. Because it is a “hidden” boutique concept located on the 5th floor of a commercial building, look for the dedicated hotel signage or directory in the main building lobby to find the correct elevator to the reception desk.
4. Is breakfast included, and what dining options are available? Breakfast availability depends on your booking rate, but the hotel features an excellent on-site restaurant. Guests can enjoy a daily buffet featuring a blend of traditional Chinese favorites, local Shanghainese delicacies, and Western breakfast staples.
5. Does the hotel offer parking facilities? The hotel provides access to public parking nearby. As spaces in the bustling Huangpu District are limited and subject to daily fees, we recommend using public transit or our taxi booking service for the most hassle-free experience.
6. What is the closest subway station to the hotel? The closest major transit hub is People’s Square Station, which intersects Metro Lines 1, 2, and 8. This provides unparalleled, direct access to the Bund, Lujiazui, Jing’an Temple, and both major airports.
