Accommodation in Shanghai

Shanghai's accommodation section runs 4 curated guides. The where-to-stay, boutique, and hostels guides each hold 10 verified entries from a 12-entry cap. The luxury guide carries 4. That means 10 entries to browse in most of the section, and a tighter 4-entry luxury shortlist. The where-to-stay guide, at 10 entries, is the section's generalist. It covers Shanghai's lodging spread without filtering by style. The boutique and hostels guides split along style lines, each at 10 entries.

If you haven't settled on a Shanghai district yet, start with the where-to-stay guide. Its 10 entries tend to give the widest orientation. The boutique guide, at 10 entries, isolates smaller or design-conscious properties. The hostels guide matches that 10-entry count for budget travelers. That said, if you already know you want top-end, the luxury guide's 4 entries are tight enough to compare directly.
