Frommer's Review

Except for those who need to catch early morning trains, few Western individual travelers stay at this Holiday Inn located just south of the Shanghai Railway Station. Even though there's a Metro entrance a mere block away, making access to downtown Shanghai relatively easy, the perception remains that it's inconvenient. The neighborhood is also a bit chaotic and there's not much within walking distance. Still, the hotel gamely musters on, relying mostly on business travelers, and offering attractive discounts (up to 50%). There are two separate towers: The recently renovated western Great Wall Wing is a mite quieter than the eastern Plaza Wing, though room rates are virtually the same at both. Rooms are modern with all the expected four-star amenities.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; 2 lounges; health club w/sauna; concierge; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
