"Conveniently located in Xintiandi in Shanghai. Very foreigner friendly area and so were the staff. Lots of dining and shopping options around the hotel and 2 different metro lines were minutes away from the lobby. The property itself is spotlessly clean and quite luxurious, it also houses a 2 star'd Michelin restaurant which we enjoyed very much."
