It sucks not traveling. Even within China it feels a little scary. What if your hotel won't accept your COVID tests? What if flights get cancelled? How about just staying in Shanghai. But somewhere nicer than your apartment.

Boom! Staycations. We've got exclusive deals on three! The Sukhothai Shanghai, Pudong Shangri-La, and Park Hyatt Shanghai all have great deals — deals you'll only find on SmartTicket — for hotel stays within a safe distance of your home.

Sukhothai Summer Staycation

Aug 1 - Sep 13 @ The Sukhothai Shanghai Nice pampered city getaway, or a romantic staycation for couples. The Sukhothai's hotel package includes a set dinner for two with a complimentary bottle of wine at La Scala, their Michelin Plate Italian restaurant designed by Neri + Hu, and a one-night stay in an Executive Room. Luxuriate in that extra-soothing interior design, and sleep tight with a turn-down tea offered by the hotel. The deal also includes a refreshing, nutritious breakfast at the hotel’s URBAN Café. See what made this hotel so hot when it opened its first property in Bangkok! 1,888rmb for two adults over on SmartTicket.

An Artistic Excursion Offer at Park Hyatt Shanghai

Book in August, deal valid until Sep 30 @ Park Hyatt Shanghai The Park Hyatt is on the upper upper floors of the Shanghai World Financial Centre (79-93rd floors of the SWFC), about as close as you're going to get in Shanghai to sleeping under the stars. Here's your chance to enjoy all the finery of one of the city’s best ultra-luxury hotels — the Park Hyatts are pretty much the best that Hyatt has. The "Artistic Excursion Hotel Package" includes a one-night stay in a Bund View King Room, breakfast for two, a class with the hotel's florist and and a guided tour of the hotel's art collection, as well as a bottle of house wine and a made-to-order custom cake. Plus, the happy hour on the 92nd floor, sipping drinks while you look out the window into the far reaches of Shanghai. Booking must be made in August, but the deal is valid from August through to the end of September. 1,999rmb for two adults over on SmartTicket.

Family Summer Staycation at Pudong Shangri-La:

Book in August, deal valid until Dec 30 @ Pudong Shangri-La Treat yourself and the kids to a fun staycation at the Pudong Shangri-La, an absolutely massive hotel and one of the first (and best) of the new generation of luxury hotels in Shanghai, overlooking the east bank of the Huangpu River with a gorgeous skyline view of the Bund. There's tons of stuff nearby: you can bike along the Bund promenade, visit the Disney Store, or relax on the balcony at Chili's with a margarita, watching boats go by. In this weather, though, you'd be forgiven for just lounging by the pool all day instead while the kids futz about on the Kids' Land playground. Optionally, end the day at as many of the 13 different food stations at Yi Café as you can manage — seriously a lot of food stations — or at the hotel's showpiece restaurant Jade at 36. Plus, late check-out at 4pm! Package starts at 1,318rmb for two adults and two kids on SmartTicket.
