not only Chinese-language films and local directors, but awards international talent of the likes of Mission: Impossible 2 director John Woo, US actress Halle Berry, US director Peter Howitt ... and American actress Andie Macdowell actually sat on the judging board last year!The festival is know for being very inclusive, with Golden Goblet winners being drawn from Europe, the UK, the US and Asia, and including films as famous as Peter Howitt's Antitrust, to those as talented but underground as Iranian Khosro Masumi's Tradition of Lover Killing. With the Shanghai World Expo still busy and bustling at its peak, and the Shanghai International Film Festival also being held, travelers will want to book Shanghai accommodation early! Today we look at the best Chinese hotels and Shanghai economy hotel rooms to help you enjoy the international film festival.
In the 'City High Above the Sea', the most obvious choice for budget Shanghai accommodation is the Jinjiang Inn chain. No matter which Shanghai International Film Festival venue you plan to frequent, there will be one of the 60 Shanghai-located Jinjiang Inns nearby. The most popular location is the Shanghai Expo Jinjiang Inn, on Banquan Road in the Pudong District. You can get a top-quality business room here for less than US$60, which includes facilities like free parking spaces and cable TV, safety deposit boxes in room, free on-loan amenities and free wired broadband.
Jinjiang Inn is known for having some of the most comfortable bedding in China ... you'll want a great night's sleep after staying out late at the movies! Food here is local and nutritious, but if you want something a little more exotic, there are plenty of highly recommended restaurants within a short cab ride - try Fu, Bistro Fiore or 138 Crabs Restaurant. Shanghai hotel rooms here have plenty of natural light, ensuite bathrooms and a security monitoring system. Jinjiang Inn is truly great value for its budget rates ... you'll have plenty left over to treat a friend to one of the 2300+ movies on over 8 days!
Motel 168 is just around the corner from Jinjiang Inn, and this Shanghai budget hotel is listed as a 'Top Value' accommodation venue at TripAdvisor, meaning consistently great reviews and very low prices. Incidentally, Jinjiang Inn Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium is a Top Value TripAdvisor property, also. Motel 168 is only rated 2.5 stars, but visitors are consistently very happy with it - freebies like complimentary breakfast and wired internet are great for travelers that have spent every cent on cinema tickets. Parking is free, and staff are multilingual. This Shanghai economy hotel also has quaint but very cute handheld showers!
Xinhui Hotel is another Shanghai budget accommodation facility that is excellent value. Like Jinjiang Inn, it is located close to Shanghai Stadium and a walkable distance from Xujiahui Shopping district - so when you aren't catching a flick at the Film Festival, there are plenty of other options. There are extensive facilities within this Shanghai hotel, but there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, spas, gymnasiums, conference centers and transport options very close by.
