The room was clean if not a little dated. The hotel itself is very century located and fantastic for nighttime walk to the Bunce. The general facilities are really good, they’ve got a fantastic sauna steam room hot bath. I’d recommend it for a day to see the sites of Shanghai.

What kinds of gay-friendly hotels are there in Shanghai?
When you're looking for gay-friendly hotels in Shanghai, you'll find a wide variety of options to choose from. These welcoming hotels come in all shapes and sizes and offer a diverse array of amenities and special features you can enjoy. Whether you're looking for something romantic, like hotels with spa facilities, or are more interested in rooms better fit for a solo traveller or a group of friends, you'll find it here. What these hotels all have in common, though, is strict anti-discrimination policies and insight into some of the most popular LGBTQ-friendly activities available in town.
What are the best gay-friendly hotels in Shanghai like?
The best gay-friendly hotel in Shanghai depends on what you're looking for in accommodation. Fortunately, you can easily find what you need, thanks to the multitude of available search filters. You can filter based on amenities you may be interested in, like hot tubs or pet-friendly policies, or you can sort by star rating.

Don't forget to mark the filter for LGBTQ-friendly hotels to only show anti-discriminatory hotels in your results.
How can I find deals on Shanghai gay-friendly hotels?
You'll find plenty of deals on gay-friendly hotels in Shanghai. If you want to increase your chances of finding a deal, try booking your stay in the off-season when prices are usually cheaper. Additionally, think about what amenities you may be willing to go without to drive the price down even further. Of course, booking a short distance away from prominent attractions can be an easy way to save while still being close to public transport routes that can get you to the action easily. Just keep in mind that these are general trends rather than solid rules, as prices fluctuate all the time and can be difficult to predict.
Why should I book a gay-friendly hotel in Shanghai with Expedia?
Booking with Expedia makes your holiday planning easier than ever before.
