Where to eat, stay and visit in Shanghai
Shanghai rewards travelers who split time between the Bund and Pudong skyline views and the Former French Concession’s quieter streets, parks and shikumen lanes. The Banquet stay list puts hotel nights at Capella Shanghai and Fairmont Peace Hotel; West Bund museum mornings at Long Museum West Bund, Power Station of Art and Yuz Museum Shanghai; and a tasting reservation at Taian Table when the week needs one table that shapes the night. Through 15 November 2026, Chanel has the third floor of the Museum of Art Pudong, at 2777 Binjiang Avenue, for la Galerie du 19M. Metro lines make east–west hops practical; taxis and ride-hailing fill gaps when rain or heat hits. Base near Nanjing Road East or Xuhui depending on whether museum days or neighborhood pacing matter more, and book Bund hotels early around West Bund Art & Design and other major fair weeks.
