Holiday Inn Express Shanghai Pudong Airport is located on Jichang Avenue, number 850, in the Pudong district, close to the terminals. The free airport shuttle doesn’t require advance booking: just go to the desk and you’re off. It’s about a nine-minute walk to Haitiansan Road metro station, and next door is the Florentia Village outlet mall with discounted branded clothing and stores like Hugo Boss and GANT. The hotel has 216 rooms of 21–26 m², robot delivery staff bring food and orders to your door, and there’s a self-service laundry and a gym open around the clock. Breakfast is a buffet: noodles, coffee, bread, and fruit, all presented neatly. Some rooms have views of ships and the sea horizon from the window. The hotel is chosen by transit travelers and anyone with an early flight and nothing to do in the city.
Pudong District: Airport, Outlet & Metro
The area around Pudong Airport is logistical and transport-oriented; there are no tourist streets here. However, Haitiansan Road metro station on the subway line takes you into the city, and the airport’s intercity bus terminal is within reach. Nearby are Florentia Village, Huaxing Freight Building, HONMA stores, and Hugo Boss, as well as Pudong terminals. Shopping enthusiasts could easily spend a whole day at the outlet, while others might prefer a walk to the metro or a trip to the city center.
- Pudong Airport — free shuttle from the hotel.
- Florentia Village — an outlet mall with clothing brands.
- Haitiansan Road Metro Station — nine minutes on foot.
- Airport Bus Terminal — intercity buses.
Travel Tip: For an early flight, arrange the shuttle time with the desk the day before. It’s best to visit the outlet on weekdays; it gets crowded on weekends. Allow a whole hour for travel into central Shanghai, including transfers. If you have a 24-hour layover, a sensible plan would be: visit the outlet in the morning, return for some rest during the day, dinner and an early night before your flight. The 24-hour gym and laundry help you refresh and get your clothes clean at any time.
Shuttle, Laundry & Gym Open Around the Clock
The main services include transfers: a free airport shuttle and meet-and-greet service, as well as parking and luggage storage. The gym with treadmills and weights is open 24 hours and free of charge; the self-service laundry is also open around the clock with fast wash and dry cycles. There’s a restaurant, business center, elevator, vending machines, baby supplies, and a non-smoking floor. A concierge, express check-in, and electronic document reader reduce queuing.
