In the heart of Puxi, Shanghai’s historical center, East meets West with 37 floors of modern luxury guest rooms, splendid Chinese spa facilities and an eclectic selection of famous restaurants at Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai. It doesn't matter if you've arrived to the city for business or for vacation - you can easily get from the hotel to the key business spots and the city’s best shopping and entertainment.

Shanghai is a city of two halves. On its western bank runs the elegant early 20th-century esplanade known as the Bund, now home to upscale shops and restaurants. On the eastern bank lies Pudong, a business district full of eye-catching skyscrapers. The streets of Shanghai offer seamless conversions between ancient traditions and futuristic trends. Four Seasons Hotel is centrally located Shanghai hotel, but on the other side of the Huangpu River you may find a fantasyland of traditional Chinese gardens and temples.

The main problem of discovering Shanghai – it’s a very good problem to have – is choosing which of the city’s delights to ...
... experience first. Shanghai is an endlessly fascinating, endlessly energetic city with hip contemporary culture and rich history.

At first, just take a walk around the city. Enjoy a morning walk to Jing An Park — just 15 minutes from Four Seasons — where you’ll find hundreds of people performing their daily rituals of Tai Chi, martial arts and fan dances. You can get the best view of the city from the observatory at Shanghai World Finance Center, one of the world’s tallest building. Also explore Taikang Road in the French Concession with its galleries and outdoor cafés.

The manager of the hotel can also arrange a tour with English-speaking guide, whether you want to take a Huangpu River cruise at twilight to check out the turn-of-the-century European architecture and art deco designs of the Bund, or meander through Yu Yuan Garden, built in 1537 and criss-crossed with an intricacy of alleys, bridges, rock sculptures and tranquil pools. Nearby is located the famous Hu Xin Ting Teahouse (the oldest in the city) and a market offering everything from jade and fans to silk and antiques. Also shoppers must visit the Dongtai Lu Antique Market, the city’s biggest antique market with 125 booths. The artefacts may or may not be genuine, but the market’s charm certainly is. You can have a lot of fun bargaining in Hongqiao International Pearl City and take home a lovely thread of freshwater pearls for naerly US$5.

And at last after exciting day in Shanghai Four Seasons Hotel offers you a menu of over 37 spa treatments and beauty therapies inspired by the ancient rites and healing methods of traditional Chinese medicine. Qin The Spa also provides a private manicure and pedicure room, a consultation space for acupuncture and a separate area for foot reflexology. Also there are large pool, whirlpool and the fitness center with variety of classes, such as Tai chi and yoga. Four Seasons offers the private dining room at Steak House or gourmet dinners at Si Ji Xuan.

China is so much more than a country, it's a fascinating world unto itself. And Four Seasons gladly will help you to create a China travel experience that is nothing short of exceptional.
