Few places can offer the excitement and cultural immersion of Shanghai, China. A world-class city, Shanghai is home to towering skyscrapers, delicious food, and a fascinating history. However, travelling with kids can be a challenge, especially in an unfamiliar place. Here are four reasons why family hotels are a great option when travelling to Shanghai with kids.

1. Family hotels offer more space and privacy than a traditional hotel room. This is especially important when travelling with young children who need their own space to play and relax.

2. Family hotels often offer a range of amenities specifically for kids, such as pools, play areas, and children’s menus. This makes life a lot easier for parents who can relax and enjoy their vacation knowing their kids are well taken care of.

3. Family hotels are typically located in convenient locations, close to public transportation, tourist attractions, and restaurants. This makes it easy for families to get around and see all that Shanghai has to offer.

4. Lastly, family hotels tend to be more affordable than traditional hotels, making them a more cost effective option for families.

Overall, family hotels are a great option for travelling with kids to Shanghai. They offer more space and amenities than traditional hotels, and are typically located in convenient, affordable locations.
