Unlike traditional Chinese hotels, Shanghai Qushui Lanting Hotel feels like a living art gallery. It reimagines the iconic "White Walls and Gray Tiles" of the Jiangnan region with a minimalist palette. Situated in the historic Zhujiajiao area of Qingpu, this hotel is a serene place surrounded by ancient canals. It provides a tranquil, water-town vibe.
Why Choose Shanghai Qushui Lanting Hotel?
Most guests come here for the spa & bathing culture. But this is far more than massages. Here's what you can expect:
- Unlimited premium fruit
- A seafood and fine dining feast
- The premium bathing amenities
- Lanting food massage
- Detox therapy
How about the Transportation Convenience?
This hotel is kind of far from the city center. We recommend staying here for a scenic weekend escape. It's about a 60-minute drive from the Bund, but close to Hongqiao Transportation Hub.
- To Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport / Shanghai Hongqiao High-Speed Rail: With a driving time of just 35–45 minutes. This makes the location exceptionally convenient for travelers arriving by domestic flights or high-speed rail from other cities across China.
- To Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG): Significantly farther, as it lies on the opposite side of Shanghai. A car journey typically takes around 1.5–2 hours, depending on traffic, with taxi fares generally ranging from USD $50–$70.
About Nearest Attractions
The hotel enjoys a great location in the Qingpu Zhujiajiao area, the very heart of Shanghai’s best-preserved Jiangnan water town heritage.
- Zhujiajiao Ancient Town: One of Shanghai’s four most renowned historic cultural towns. Approximately 5–10 minutes by car or around 15 minutes by bicycle. Daqing Post Office (Old Post Office) is a nostalgic place to send a meaningful postcard!
- Dianshan Lake: It is the city’s largest freshwater lake, often referred to as Shanghai’s own “West Lake”. About 20 minutes by car. Highly recommended for guests who enjoy sailing, kayaking, or simply watching the sunset over the water.
