Hotels
The cheapest hotel in town is the Pujiang Hotel, just across the Wusong River (Suzhou Creek) from the Bund. Until 1890, this was the place to be, at that time known as the Astor. Today, it's quite a bit run-down, but they have good dormitories with air conditioning, and also single and double rooms. A room costs CNY 300. Tel. (21)63246388, Fax 63243179.

The Peace Hotel, 20 Nanjing Rd., Shanghai:

The Peace Hotel is at the beginning (or the end) of Nanjing Lu, right at the bund. You ask which side of the road? Well, on both sides of course ;-) The Peace Hotel is easily distinguishable by its tower with the pyramidal roof. Since the beginning of the century, it is the most distinguished place to be. During World War II, the partying continued, even when Shanghai was under siege. The Westerners did not believe that something could ever happen to them. This all changed, when a bomb was dropped on the hotel, whether by a Japanese or a Chinese plane was never really clear.
During Communist times, the Peace Hotel remained the place for distinguished guests. When the stock market reopened in 1990, trading took place in one of its rooms. Probably the most famous feature of the Peace Hotel is its Jazz-Band playing in the beautiful English-style bar. Some of the band members have been playing for more than 50 years and have even witnessed the Japanese invasion.
