Pudong Hotels from $73

I chose the Eton because I needed to be very near the Metro, which it is. This is a very comfortable hotel and my upgraded room on the 28th floor had amazing views over Pudong. I ate in the Grill on one night and I was the only customer there. They have a great looking bar and the restaurants are actually very nice but not busy at all. I also used the Spa and Pool and Gym which is kitted out with very modern equipment and was perfectly clean. The hotel is very near the river, Pudong side, and unlike the Bund it's not over developed yet which was quite refreshing when I went for a walk there one evening. There are a few Chinese Style restaurants in the road behind the hotel and a 711 convenience shop, but getting to Nanjing Road on the Bund is easy on the Metro. There is a lot development work happening in the area around the hotel and beyond but this didn't dampen my stay here. Usually I stay on the Bund but I will stay at the Eton again perhaps when the development work in the area is complete.

Fantastic hotel and facilities. The only thing to note is that the hotel is situated within Shanghai's financial district. If it's the old part of town you're interested in then I'd recommend a hotel on the other side of the river (there are no pedestrian bridges crossing the river, you must take a taxi/car). But nearby is the oriental pearl tower - amazing and the international financial centre (shopping mal) seriously huge!
