Grand Central Hotel Shanghai

Beautiful hotel! We've stayed at a couple high end hotels in Shanghai and this was by far the better of the two. Very helpful staff whos english was very good. Concierge helped us with lots of travel stuff. [...] when we got there they had no rooms with kings. It was a little annoying, but luckily the "twins" were pretty big.

Best Location and 5-star all the way

We were really looking for a perfectly located hotel, and this is the best location for tourists by far. You are one small block from the heart of Nanjing Shopping road, and one block from the East Nanjing subway station (from the hotel, walk to your right to the end of the block, cross the street to your left, go 20 feet, and you are there). You are then one stop from the Pearl Tower, one stop from People's Square and its park and major museums (although it is only about a 7 minute walk to Peoples Square – so we just walked), perhaps 2 stops to the Yu Yuan gardens, 3 stops to Xin Tian Di, 3-4 stops from the French Concession. And it is an easy walk to the Bund. Shops and restaurants surround it. For a tourist, you can't get any better. Right next to this hotel is the Sofitel hotel, the Howard Johnsons Shanghai, and the Shanghai Central Hotel, which is the 4-star version of this hotel, and looked very nice – it was being renovated when we were here (March 20-25, 2011). This is a true 5-star hotel with people that run to grab your luggage as you arrive and bring it up to your room for you. Someone's full time job it to open the lobby door for you as you come/go. It has a beautiful lobby, a nice pool and hot tub on the fifth floor, a billiards room, a very nice gym, everything you would expect. They give you a pillow menu, the room comes with free packaged coffee and a French press (you can buy milk at the pastry store across the street to the back, or the Lawsons convenience store across the street in the front). Big TV has about 7 English speaking channels, including HBO and Cinemax. Bathrooms are excellent; free wired internet in room (free wireless in lobby). The front desk staff spoke English better than at other hotels in China. The only bad thing was that the breakfast buffet wasn't included with our room, and costs 192 rmb (about $30) per person. We skipped it entirely and just ate at nearby restaurants or one of at least 3 nearby Starbucks. We stayed at two different hotels in Shanghai - the Salvo and this one, the Grand Central. The Grand Central is much nicer on every level.
