Broadway Mansions Hotel (Shanghai Dasha)
The Art Deco Broadway Mansions was originally built in 1934 as an exclusive residential hotel by the British. These days it's a wan-looking four-star hotel hoping to capitalize on its storied history (the building was sold to the Japanese in 1937 but later housed the Foreign Correspondents' Club of China after World War II) and is eagerly embracing foreign guests. Renovated in 2006, rooms are spacious, with high ceilings, firm beds, overhead bedside reading lights and all the expected amenities. For an extra ¥200 ($25), the rooms facing the Suzhou Creek are absolutely worth splurging on, as there are few other places where you can wake up to the creek, the Bund,andPudong outside your window.
Facilities:
2 restaurants; bakery; lounge, bar; health club; sauna; concierge; business center; salon; 24-hr. room service; same-day laundry service/dry cleaning; executive-level rooms
