Once a medieval walled city, Shanghai has been transformed beyond recognition by futuristic skyscrapers since it became China's powerhouse for finance and fashion. Shanghai's neighborhoods all have their own look and feel, with wonderful accommodations in French and British colonial buildings as well as deluxe suites in sleek hotel towers topped with trendy cocktail bars and exclusive restaurants. Depending on where you stay, Shanghai can feel very European, or very Chinese. Some of Shanghai's best hotels are located along the scenic waterfront in the inner city, but there are also some great accommodations in the surrounding neighborhoods of this sprawling city.
