We previously stayed at the Cordis Hong Kong, which was rebranded from The Langham Place, Mong Kok and absolutely love the space and vibe.

The Cordis, Shanghai, Hongqiao (pictured above) is the first Cordis Hotel in China. The 396-room hotel is located close to the National Exhibition and Convention Centre as well to the Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station and Metro Lines 2 and 10 via underground and overhead access.Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport is a five minutes drive from the hotel.
