Uncover a perfect stay at a gay hotel in Shanghai. Options range from 5-star splendor to affordable hotels. Whether you’re splurging at the Park Hyatt or saving at cozy hostels, Shanghai accommodates all budgets, often under $160 (¥1,100 Chinese Yuan) a night. Discover luxury near The Bund, boutique charm in the French Concession, or breathtaking skyline views in Pudong. Popular spots like Hotel Indigo and W Shanghai The Bund cater to vibrant lifestyles, while The PuLi offers indulgent escapes. Looking for something close to Shanghai’s popular gay bars and clubs? Try Crowne Plaza, Courtyard by Marriott, or The Longemont for convenience and comfort.
However, if you want to socialize and party on a budget, a backpacker hostel is probably the best choice. They also tend to have more English-speaking staff, and will be able to point you towards a good time. A dorm bed will usually cost about ¥70-¥90 ($10-£15), and there are a few great hostels not too far from the gay Shanghai hubs: Rock & Wood International Youth Hostel is a quiet and laid-back option a mere 15-20 minute walk from the grouping of gay bars and clubs in Changning.
Alternatively, there are quite a few budget options near The Bund, which is ideal if you want to stay close to the tourist spots. Bear in mind that while there is a friendly and varied backpacker crowd, hostels in China tend to be a more chill affair than some of the party hostels seen in Europe and Southeast Asia. Still, they are a great place to meet travelers with whom you can go out and enjoy the nightlife.
As a general rule, you should not struggle to find gay-friendly accommodation in Shanghai. Most places welcome same-sex couples when booking double rooms, but opt for international chains if you want to be sure.
Many gay visitors choose to stay in the French Concession area as it offers a good compromise between tourist activities and gay Shanghai nightlife.
