The Pullman's central location, close to the Shanghai Train Station, makes it a popular choice with gay travelers and gay couples.

Perhaps our favorite choice for this area. This great-value Ascott Huai Hai Road is just a 10-minute walk from Xintiandi shopping, entertainment and nightlife.

Each soundproof apartment is fully functional with a well-equipped kitchen, washer, fridge and large living area. Guests get free access to the heated indoor pool and state-of-the-art gym.

The South Huangpi Road metro station is a short walk away and provides easy connections to the rest of Shanghai.

Sleek boutique hotel located just north of French Concession area and Xintiandi, with a few major attractions within walking distance away.

URBN's modern designs with very 'green' surrounding make it a favorite choice with gay visitors. Facilities include a bar, a restaurant, jacuzzi, massage service, free WiFi.

The hotel is highly praised for its warm hospitality and excellent breakfast.

Situated in Shanghai's most fashionable district, The Langham Xintiandi is surrounded by a range of premium shops, restaurants and trendy boutiques.

The luxurious Les Suites Orient Bund is located in the centre of Shanghai, offering great views over the Huangpu River and the Pudong high-rise neighbourhood.

The designers successfully combine art deco with traditional Oriental style. The rooms have all the amenities you would expect from a 5-star hotel. We recommend the River View room.

Surprisingly good value for money and excellent service. This hotel is proud to publicly state that it is gay-friendly. We like that.

This riverside hotel offers breathtaking views of the high-tech Pudong. It is also close to Yu Yuan Garden, the Old Chinese City, Jing'an Temple and Nanjing Road shopping district.

We recommend 'river view' rooms, as the view that adds so much to the pleasure of staying here. The rooms combine modern elements with touches of old China. All the latest technology is there - right down to the high-tech toilet seat!

If you want a quick work out, the Indigo has a well-equipped gym and swimming pool. 

The Park Hyatt occupies the 79th-93rd floors of the Shanghai World Financial Center - one of the highest hotels in the world. Needless to say, the views of the city and Huangpu river are stunning.

Minimalist-styled rooms have all the high-tech facilities including a motion sensor in the toilet! Huge rain showers and a large tub to soak in. We bet you will not find a pool and gym on a higher floor anywhere in the world.

The hotel has won awards many years in a row for their approach to LGBT equality.
