Located in the center of Shanghai, the Jin Jiang Hotel is where U.S. President Richard Nixon stayed when he signed the Shanghai Communique with Zhou Enlai in 1972, which re established Sino American relations. Built in 1929, green lawns and manicured shrubbery of the Jin Jiang make it a particular oasis amid Shanghai's urban heart, located on Mao Ming Nan Lu (Middle Road), a major city nightlife destination, and one block from Huai Hai Road, Shanghai's main shopping high street. The property is a short walk to the Shanxi Nan Lu Metro Station. From there, People's Square, The Bund, The New Shanghai International Convention Center and Pudong New Area are a few stops away.

The Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is 12 kilometers from the property and Shanghai Pudong International Airport is 50 kilometers away.

Business and leisure guests can choose from a myriad of facilities to enhance their stay, including restaurants well respected for their expression of local Shanghainese cuisine, a 20 meter indoor pool, health club and six lane bowling alley.

The hotel also provides a business center, high speed Internet access and conference/banquet facilities.

The Jin Jiang Hotel Shanghai has 431 guestrooms and suites situated in three buildings, the 1929 North, 1932 Grosvenor House (modeled after New York's Barclay Vessey Building) and the South Building. The North and South Buildings have undergone renovation in 1999 and 2005, respectively.

Guestrooms in this classic luxury hotel highlight either European style with modern furniture or traditional Chinese décor with rosewood furniture. Thoughtful room amenities include bathrobes, blackout drapes, work desks, minibars and offer either garden or cityscape views.

New rail connection between Pudong International Airport (PVG) and Shanghai city centre via Metro Line No. 2.

The new Maglev Demonstration Line, one of the fastest trains in the world, now connects Pudong International Airport (PVG) to Longyang Station on Line No. 2 of the Shanghai Metro. Once at Longyang Road, Metro Line No. 2 can be taken to major destinations in both Pudong New Area and throughout Puxi, or the area west of the Huangpu River that includes Shanghai city centre.

Construction is currently underway for Merto Line No.

2 to reach Hongqiao Airport (SHA), which is used primarily for domestic flights. This new convenience, set to open in 2006, will mean that a traveler that lands from an international flight at PVG will be able to connect to a domestic flight at Hongqiao using an all rail journey with a single transfer at Longyang Road Station.
