The 5-star, Japanese-run Okura Garden Hotel Shanghai is situated in the heart of old Shanghai, with its reception area housed in the former French Concession Club. Set amid lush gardens and featuring high-standard service and rooms, the hotel sports an indoor swimming pool and a gymnasium. Just a 2-minute walk from the nearest metro, the hotel is 1 kilometer from the airport and 5 kilometers from the railway station. Okura Garden Hotel has 500 comfortable guest rooms, including 106 single rooms, 319 twin or double rooms, 53 executive rooms and 22 deluxe suites. The French-style reception area contrasts dramatically with the more modern main body of the hotel, which towers above Huai Hai Road. The Manchester United Football Club stayed here on the team's recent visit to the city.
