Renaissance Shanghai Yangtze Hotel, Shanghai

Traveled to China 11 times on business. The Renaissance was about the center of the area between manufacturing and business center. The staff was always plesant and never seemed to forget you. After 3 months between trips to Shanghai several of the staff greeted me by name and welcomed me back. I would highly recommend the facility to anyone needing a base of operations in the Shanghai area. The price was reasonable and the service was excellent. There is a shopping plaza accross the street that has everything from asprin to expensive jewelry and clothes. The entrance to a park accross the street is about a block down. The Indian Consulate is in the building next door. A cab ride to the Bund area will cost about 30 RMB and about 70 RMB to Pudong Airport. Not all cab drivers speak or read English so be sure to get the hotel card and carry it with you. The card is English on one side and Chinese of the other so you will always get home.
