Rui Jin Hotel, Shanghai

At present, the hotel is going through a phase of new development. Much of the central grassed area has been given over to new construction. However, there are still areas where you can walk in welcome tranquility compared to the streets outside. The hotel is taking great care to ensure that the building work does not create undue noise but it does mean that guests now have to take rather circuitous routes when going to the reception block and the restaurants. Breakfast is not up to its formmer high standard and is somewhat cramped. A big change here! Unfortunately, the duck pond has been swallowed up and some of the quiet, outside bars and cafes where you used to be able to sit in the evening have also disappeared. The hotel is also a valued venue for weddings. These can be a little noisy and detract from the privacy one might want. But the noise does not permeate yor room. In fact, you might quite like to see a sumptuous Chinese wedding in full flow.

Restaurant Tip : The cuisine of the hotel is very good. If you are unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine, just ask and you will be guided.

bit pricey, but it suits well if you're after quality of service

Shopping Tip : take a stroll down to huaihai lu only 10 minutes strides away from ruijin hotel
