This hotel is an absolute gem of colonial history. For about £40 the Richard Executive Suite makes you feel like a visiting diplomat!

The building has a rich history and is located on the edge of the bund - within easy walking distance of Shanghai's main attractions.

It really made our visit to Shanghai, I can't imagine there is a better place to stay in the city.

I would also recommend a cocktail at M on the Bund - if you want to continue the glamorous feel.

We loved this hotel though not everyone does, because of problems with plumbing etc, although ours worked fine. Faded glory it may be, but it’s a hotel full of character, with large bedrooms, right on the Bund, and has terrific views from the rooftop bar.

If you're after a cheap, well-located place to stay in Shanghai, you can't beat the Captain Hostel. There’s a choice of dorms or private rooms and they’re very, very clean.

It's also just off the Bund (taxi drivers will always know that one) and not far from the main shopping strip and metro stations.

You can't miss this hotel, in every sense. Taking up the 53rd to the 87th floors of one of the world's tallest buildings (at 1,380ft it's just a tad shorter than Chicago's Sears tower), the Jin Mao Tower boasts what is probably the highest cocktail bar around. There are also panoramic views across the city - assuming you can see past the smog. It's not that cheap -the rooms are at least 2,600RMB (over £170) - but you can stump up 50RMB for a visitor's ticket and sneak in a quick Martini and a few photos.

One of the very few choices for budget foreign travellers, the Captain's hostel enjoys a prime location on the Bund and sports a pretty decent roof restaurant to boot. It's 20RMB for a bunk; best to book. Though it's possible to get 'Chinese' dorm rooms elsewhere it's not recommended.
