The five-star Huating Hotel & Towers (Huating Binguan) is located in southwestern Shanghai, just within the city's elevated inner ring road and steps away from the Shanghai Indoor Stadium Metro Station, conveniently connecting guests to most of Shanghai's commercial and business centers. Though a fair distance from many of Shanghai's top tourist sights, which cluster around People's Square and the Bund, via metro or car, the best of the city can be reached within 40 minutes or less. The building itself is a fine example of Shanghai's contemporary architecture, featuring an undulating façade punctuated by a fluted tower. The whole thing, of course, lights up at night like a Christmas tree. For relaxation and recreation, the hotel has a swimming pool, fitness center, beauty center and a piano bar, and dining options include both Chinese and Western food. The Garden Court provides buffet and a la carte dining; the rooftop Guan Yue Ting serves Hong Kong style Cantonese cuisine; Tapas offers 24-hour coffee, tea, deli food, desserts and snacks; and The Flamingo Restaurant is the place to go for sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki and kaiseki.
