Some people, even the most jaded New Yorkers, may find themselves
overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of
Shanghai. Luckily for them,
there's the Donghu, a cluster of accommodations that are situated
along a peaceful stretch of road in the historic yet trendy French
Concession district.
Super 8 Feng Ye, inexpensive,

www.super8.com. After
upping its presence in
China in preparation for the 2008 Olympics
in
Beijing, Super 8 is now the country's largest foreign operator
of economy hotels. This, a new outpost in Shanghai, is fresh,
clean, and comfortable; is within walking distance of the popular
Bund district; and includes several two-story guest rooms that will
remind you of the small studio apartment you lived in right out of
college.
