Ideally located right in the heart of the financial district, Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Shanghai is just a step away from Shanghai's busiest shopping district, Nanjing East Pedestrian Mall and the Metro. A 10-minute walk will bring you to the historical Bund, renowned through the decades as Shanghai's most enduring symbol of its glorious past; its row of European-style buildings serving as background of bustling commercial activities in the daytime and a spectacular showcase of lights and colours at night. A leisurely stroll westward brings guests to People's Square, home to the multi-million dollar Shanghai Museum and the famous Shanghai Grand Theatre.
