Hotels
Hotels in key cities throughout our specialty region are often comparable to the Western Standard. However, when traveling outside major cities, differences among hotels of the same rating can be striking. Thus, travelers must be selective. Primarily, shanghai-today.com specializes in superior and first class hotel programs, allowing us to offer competitive prices. At the same time, we are rapidly increasing our activity with deluxe and historical (restored) hotels, where we can offer competitive rates as well.
Hotel Rating
5 Stars: Hotels in this category are top-of-the-line, offering the full range of facilities and services with superior dining and accommodations. Many will be plush in various and/or special ways.
4 Stars: Normally these hotels will have a local five-star rating, offering a high standard of accommodation and a variety of services, but somewhat short of deluxe. Nearly all will have good restaurants and bars of high standard for your enjoyment.
3 Stars: Normally these will have a local rating of a four-star hotel, offering a moderate standard of accommodation with a good range of services and amenities. Furnishings and decor are of a good standard and provide pleasant surroundings. Most will have restaurants and bars as well.
2 Stars: These are budget accommodation hotels normally rated at three stars in the local rating system. They are well maintained, but often have limited facilities and amenities. All have private baths. These are often a good choice for central location and access to sites.
Historic/Boutique (HIS/SPC): These are usually restored buildings, with historic or quaint features, which were previously inns, caravan inns, wineries, special homes, and even palaces. Often they create an air of yesteryear that enhances the flavor of your touring pleasure. The size and shape of rooms can vary widely, but they will always have a private bath. We recommend these to the traveler who wants to experience a special atmosphere.
