01 / Location comes first
Choose the right location
For a Shanghai family stay, decide whether you need separate bedrooms and a kitchen or a hotel room with dedicated play features. Ascott Huai Hai Road offers an apartment option in central Huangpu; Kerry Hotel Pudong offers named family and connecting-room categories near Century Park. Book the layout and guest count your family actually needs, then compare the neighbourhood.
| Area | Best suited to | The tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| Huaihai Road and central Huangpu | Apartment living within a central city stay | An apartment setup does not itself provide supervised children's activities. |
| Century Park and Huamu | A Pudong base with family hotel facilities | This is a different location from the Bund and central Huangpu; compare daily trips before choosing. |
Huaihai Road and central Huangpu
Apartment living within a central city stay
A practical base when separate bedrooms, meals at home and laundry are part of the family plan.
Ascott's directions identify South Huangpi Road station; check the current name and exit in your map app.
Century Park and Huamu
A Pudong base with family hotel facilities
Anchor the stay around Century Park and the hotel, with separate journeys for Puxi sightseeing.
Use Kerry Hotel Pudong's own map and exact address to avoid other Kerry properties.

Ascott Huai Hai Road Shanghai
Families wanting separate bedrooms and self-catering
The Two Bedroom Premier page specifies two bedrooms, a kitchenette and washer-dryer facilities, with a published four-person base occupancy.
Confirm the current occupancy, bedding and any extra-person charge for your party; do not generalise this layout to studio bookings.
Kerry Hotel Pudong, Shanghai
Families comparing a suite with purpose-built play features
The Questers Parkview Family Suite King has a playhouse, and the room catalogue separately lists inter-connecting categories.
The suite's playhouse is recommended for children below one metre tall. Confirm guest capacity and book the exact layout required.

Your stay, made simpler
Which option has separate bedrooms and cooking facilities?
Ascott's Two Bedroom Premier page explicitly describes two bedrooms and a kitchenette, plus laundry facilities. Confirm that exact category when booking; a studio is a different layout.
Does Kerry Pudong offer connecting rooms?
Its official catalogue lists Two Deluxe Rooms Inter-Connecting and Club Suite and Club Room Inter-Connecting. Check availability and reserve the named category or obtain written confirmation; two ordinary bookings are not automatically connected.
Are the Questers play features suitable for every age?
The Parkview Family Suite page recommends its playhouse for children below one metre in height. That is a play-feature recommendation, not a room-occupancy rule. Confirm both suitability and the permitted guest count.
