Renaissance Putuo Hotel Shuttles

At the heart of Shanghai’s northwest Putuo District, the Renaissance Shanghai Putuo Hotel offers the luxury of discovering China’s largest metropolis without getting caught in the crowd. 5-star perks include a luxurious indoor/outdoor pool as well as multiple restaurants serving traditional Chinese, Japanese and western favorites. The biggest reward of all is the ambiance of each room, most of which offer eco-modern designs with sleek floor-to-ceiling views and cozy seating areas, while suites add luxury whirlpool tubs and exotic living rooms. Get around by utilizing nearby public transportation as well, whether that means hopping aboard the adjacent Langao Road Subway Station for easy access to Line 7 or choosing between nine bus routes along the same road. Go with a private lift for intimate rides across town instead, choosing between small sedans or large chartered buses for quick getaways, also considering relaxed meet-and-greet services like stretched limousines and taxis for quick drop offs to Pudong International Airport.

A good way to keep things fresh while you’re staying in the area is to not only enjoy the hotel’s on-site amenities but nearby landmarks as fun for business travelers as the whole family. Stop by Bei’er Children’s Paradise for vast indoor play areas, a massive bowling alley and connected cafe, or go with something free by taking a trip to Daning Lingshi Park, renowned for its sweeping waterside promenades and surreal tulip fields that bloom in the springtime. The city is also renowned for its tremendous shopping mall lifestyle, something easy to dive into with nearby retail hubs like Hang Lung Plaza and Cloud Nine, both of which offer multiple levels of local and name-brand retailers. For a break from the modern, head to the nearby Zhenru Ancient Town for immersive looks at Shanghai’s old town through traditional gates, pagodas and walled-in streets, then winding down with dinner back at the Renaissance Shanghai’s acclaimed dishes.
