Sofitel Hotel Shuttles

Along Shanghai’s east side, the Sofitel Shanghai Hyland provides upscale looks at the city from an array of high-rise rooms. Within the bounds of downtown, the city-friendly stay offers instant access to the Shanghai’s shopping district in addition to on-site luxuries such as restaurants, bars and a spa. Each room comes with vibrant textures and street-inspired artwork, while suites add extra living areas and exclusive access to a private lounge serving free breakfast and cocktails. And although shuttles to Pudong International Airport are not available through the lodging, the nearby Nanjing East Road Subway Station offers access to Lines 2 and 10. Book a ride of your own for easy transfers across town instead, looking forward to the freedom of private rentals such as sedans and chartered buses or going professional through meet-and-greet services such as stretched limousines and taxis not only perfect for catching your flight but dodging Shanghai’s notorious downtown traffic.

Fall in love with the instant charm of the surrounding neighborhood by starting on the adjacent Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street, heading west toward idyllic plazas at Century Square as well as an array of shops & restaurants perfect for grabbing breakfast on the go. Continue walking between towering skyscrapers until you arrive to People’s Square, a landmark staple of the city due to its bustling meeting spaces, dozens of subway stops and famous rides at the People’s Park Amusement Park. Surrounding the green space is an array of elite landmarks mainly visited by the business travelers of Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center, from the works within Museum of Contemporary Art to the traditional performances at Shanghai Grand Theatre. Do some shopping if all else fails, choosing between busy malls like Shanghai Times Square or Hongyi Plaza, or make real memories at restaurants close to the hotel such as October Hongyan Noodle and Saizeriya Italian.
