Hengshan Picardie Hotel (Shanghai, China)

Located along a major avenue lined with exclusive shops and hotels, the fifteen-floor Hengshan Picardie Hotel is a welcome alternative from the usual towering skyscrapers. Housed in one of Shanghai's older buildings, the hotel features charming French-style architecture dating back to the 1930s. Last renovated in 2007, this unpretentious edifice is adjacent to the Xujiahui green belt and the Hengshan Park, with its folded shades of green jade lapsing out across the horizon. The Hengshan Picardie hotel has 259 spacious rooms and suites and is just 45 kilometers away from Pudong International Airport. The hotel has also a beauty salon, health centre, as well as a shop in the lobby. Local attractions such as The Peoples Square and Nanjing Road are just a few kilometers away.
