The Shanghai Metropole Hotel (formerly known as the Ducheng Hotel), first opened in 1930 thought by some to be the heyday of Shanghai's International Settlement period. From the very beginning, it was distinctive even among the lavish foreign-styled buildings of the day.This was partly due to its Baroque semi-round tower and other delightful period architectural features, but also thanks to its perfect position in the heart of Shanghai's downtown area. More than 70 years later, the Shanghai Metropole Hotel blends the high style and cultural heritage of a bygone era with modern convenience. The hotel is located in the junction of Fuzhou and Jiangxi Roads. Neighboring the Bund on the east (200 meters away from hotel), the historic Yu Garden on the south, People's Square on the west, and the Nanjing Road pedestrian shopping street on the north, the Metropole is a truly unbeatable address for leisure and business visitors to Shanghai. The hotel's first class accommodation is combined with delicious food, fine leisure and entertainment facilities and a commitment to service that reflects its long-held position as a Shanghai hospitality landmark. Rates are based on double occupancy. Charges for extra adults may apply and will be due directly to the hotel.
