The Golden Tulip New Asia occupies a strategic position in Shanghai's historic center, a 15-minute walk from the Bund and within immediate proximity of the pedestrian Nanjing Road. This international chain hotel suits travelers who wish to stay in the heart of urban energy, without sacrificing the comfort standards expected on a city break.

Why choose this hotel in Shanghai

Shanghai is best explored on foot, and the Golden Tulip New Asia's central location is its main strength. From the hotel, you can reach the city's iconic spots on foot: the Bund promenade facing Pudong's skyscrapers, the shops and department stores of Nanjing Road, and the metro stations that serve the rest of the metropolitan area.

The Golden Tulip brand brings welcome clarity for a first visit to China: standardized services, staff accustomed to an international clientele, and a level of service consistent with an urban business hotel.

Atmosphere and style

The establishment falls into the category of urban chain hotels, designed more for functionality than character. The atmosphere remains sober, classic, without strong decorative choices. This profile is particularly suited to travelers who prioritize location and operational efficiency over design experience or heritage charm.

The clientele blends business travelers on Shanghai stopovers with foreign tourists at the beginning or end of a China circuit.

Services offered

• On-site restaurant for meals, convenient after a day of urban exploration
• Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
• Multilingual reception experienced in guiding foreign travelers
• Standard services of an international hotel (luggage storage, currency exchange, taxis)

The presence of an integrated restaurant simplifies arrival evenings, when jet lag and fatigue make searching for an outside establishment unattractive.

Location and access

The hotel is located in Shanghai's central district, a 15-minute walk from the Bund, the iconic promenade along the Huangpu River. Nanjing Road, one of Asia's busiest commercial arteries, starts just steps away. Nearby metro stations allow you to quickly reach other neighborhoods: Pudong and its skyline, the former French concession, the Jade Buddha Temple, or the Xintiandi district.

From Pudong International Airport, expect about an hour's journey by taxi or metro depending on traffic conditions. The Maglev also connects the airport to the city center in under ten minutes.

What to see and do nearby

• The Bund: must-see promenade at sunset, facing the illuminated skyscrapers of Pudong
• Nanjing Road: major pedestrian artery dedicated to shopping and dining
• People's Square: central square surrounded by museums (Shanghai Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art)
• Yu Garden: classical Chinese garden and traditional bazaar, 20 minutes' walk away
• Pudong: accessible by metro or via the tourist tunnel under the river, to discover the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower
