I have been travelling to Shanghai for over 10 years and have never found a hotel that mixes style, convenience, an authentic experience and comfort - until I stayed at Urbn.

We were amazed by Shanghai, if you are really into major world-class cities then this is a place you cannot miss, it's kind of a mixture between Hong Kong, Manhattan and Gotham City!

I travel for business and pleasure more than half the year and, all together, have lived in hotels more than seven years of my life. This sort of lifestyle is either a good thing or a bad thing depending on where you get to stay. In Shanghai, cosmopolitan and sexy city that it is, finding the perfect hotel is surprisingly... more
