I didn't know the Gloria chain of hotels and took a chance staying here, since it was brand new and with absolutely no reviews anywhere. It is a 10 minute cab ride SW of Hongqiao stations away from the traffic side of Shanghai. Beautiful little getaway, great restuarant, great staff and anxious to please since they are new. I probably paid 1/4 of what the final rate will be after this low intro Expedia rate - but you won't be dissappointed. Because it is so new, taxi drivers are likely to drop you off on the backside of the gated community that the hotel is attached to. No problem, just show your reservation to the guards and walk around the block to the direct opposite side to find the hotel - it's safe, but can be alittle long with heavy luggage.
