Astor House Hotel Shanghai

Built in 1846 and just remodled . the Hotel boost that President Grant stayed there, Chaplian and all so Einstien.. It just across the canal from The Bund area. And about a bock from the river. We stayed on the second floor which was the executive floor. The room was modern. very clean, and had this OH WOW bath room! the bedroom and the bath were seperated by a glass window that ran the lenght of the bedroom and it has a power blind that came down when one wanted privacy. And it had this amazing rian shower that was massive. The cost was about 120.00 Canadian a night and included a breakfast brunch served in the Ballroom.
only problem was the doorman when ever he hail a cab he ask us were we wanted to go. And when ever we said the South Shanghai rail station he tell the cabbie the wrong one!Number of times we ended up at the Shanghai Rail station and had to that the subway to the south one.
