Tucked in Downtown Shanghai, Holiday Inn Shanghai Nanjing Road by IHG has quietly become one of the more interesting upscale property options in Shanghai. Downtown Shanghai is doing some of the heavy lifting here: it's within an easy walk of the city centre, and that proximity does change the trip. Expect polished rooms with reliable wi-fi, on-site parking and an in-house restaurant, practical details that keep showing up in consistently flattering comfort feedback. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. Pull the review pages apart and you find well over 2,700 reviews, with a strong consensus that's hard to engineer. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Expect to pay something in the region of €107 a night, a middle-of-the-road entry on the board, especially when stacked against nearby alternatives. Stack Holiday Inn Shanghai Nanjing Road by IHG against the better-known names in Shanghai and the trade-offs become genuinely interesting.
