Shanghai 24-Hour Spas Guide: Where to Go, Prices & Services

By Amber
October 5, 2026

In Europe, when we think of a spa, we usually imagine a place to go for a few hours to enjoy a massage, a thermal circuit, or a sauna session. However, in Shanghai, there is a very different concept that surprises many travellers: huge wellness complexes where it is possible to relax, eat, rest, be entertained, and even spend the night.
At Trip.com, we help you find the best 24-hour spa in Shanghai to suit your needs. Discover what services each option offers, what their strong points are, and what kind of experience you can expect during your stay.
♨️ How Do 24-Hour Spas in Shanghai Work?

Most operate via a single entry ticket that grants access to a large part of the facilities. Upon arrival, visitors are given an electronic wristband and comfortable clothing to move around the premises. From that moment on, they can freely access the different areas, which usually include thermal baths, saunas, relaxation areas, leisure rooms, and spaces for eating or grabbing a drink.
Many of these complexes are designed for you to spend the whole day there. Some even feature cinemas, libraries, video game rooms, karaoke, workspaces with Wi-Fi, or private rooms available for an additional cost. For this reason, some travellers describe them as a mix between a spa, a hotel, and an urban resort.

🚇🚕 How to Get to Shanghai 24-Hour Spas
First of all, it's worth clarifying that Shanghai has two main airports: Hongqiao and Pudong. Knowing which one you're landing at is key to determining which spa is best for you.
Airport | Code | Distance to Shanghai city centre | Main use |
SHA | ≈ 13 km | Domestic flights and regional routes (Asia) | |
PVG | ≈ 45 km | Long-haul international flights |
📌 Plus, the metro is very safe and easy to use; the main lines connecting the spa areas with the airport are lines 2, 10, and 17. Ticket prices range from RMB 3 to 14 (approximately £0.40 to £1.50). Also, taxis and private transport (Didi, which is like the Chinese Uber) are great options if you have luggage.
Here is exactly how to get to each spa:
Spa | From Hongqiao Airport (SHA) | From Pudong Airport (PVG) |
🚇 Metro: Line 10 → Line 2 to Pudong Road (Exit 1 + 5 min walk)⏱️ Around 60 min | 🚇 Metro: Line 2 to Pudong Road (18 stops, Exit 1 + 5 min walk)⏱️ Around 50 min | |
🚇 Metro: Line 2 (1 stop) to Hongqiao Railway Station (Exit C/D + 5 min walk)⏱️ Around 15 min | 🚇 Metro: Line 2 to Hongqiao Railway Station (21 stops, Exit C/D + 5 min walk)⏱️ Around 55 min | |
🚇 Metro: Line 2 to Hongmei Road (Exit 2 + 8 min walk)⏱️ Around 20 min | 🚇 Metro: Line 2 to Hongmei Road (23 stops, Exit 2 + 8 min walk)⏱️ Around 60 min | |
🚇 Metro: Line 10 to Shuicheng Road Station (Exit 3 + 5 min walk)⏱️ Around 30 min | 🚇 Metro: Line 2 → Line 15 to Shuicheng Road Station⏱️ Around 65 min | |
🚇 Metro + bus: Line 2 → Hongqiao Railway Station → Line 17 to Zhujiajiao + bus/Didi (10–15 min)⏱️ Around 60 min | 🚇 Metro: Line 2 → Line 17 via Hongqiao Railway Station to Zhujiajiao + bus/private car⏱️ Around 90 min |
🌟 myTrip tip: if you arrive at Hongqiao, our recommendation is Shuiguo Hot Spring: it's just 10 minutes away, open 24h, and includes unlimited fruit and rest areas. If you arrive at Pudong, our recommendation is Young·SPACE: it's the closest 24h spa, with futuristic capsules and a quieter atmosphere.

Staying at The Anandi Hotel in Shanghai | A Healing Hotel Experience
Before heading back to Beijing, I chose this healing hotel for a few days of rest in Shanghai. Here's my experience:
Facilities and Activities 🏊🏻♂️:
1. Guests can use the hot spring, which wasn't crowded and wasn't very large. There are two public pools, one in the hot spring area and another on the 11th floor of the hotel. The gym is also small. There are free healing activities every day, with more options on weekends, including children's craft experiences 👍🏻.
2. The kids' club is on the second floor of the hot spring area, but children cannot be left unattended; parents must supervise them. I suggest they change this – if parents are constantly watching their kids, how can they have time to spend money? 😓
Environment 🌲: As a healing hotel, you essentially stay within the hotel. There isn't much to do in the surrounding area 😂.
Dining 🍜:
The breakfast at the Mystic restaurant is quite healthy. The executive lounge offers afternoon tea and light dinner. Yue Restaurant and Yuan Yan are actually the same restaurant.
Dining taste ranking ➡️ Yuan Yan > Mystic restaurant > Executive Lounge.
Service: Most of the staff provide excellent service. On weekends, due to more guests, the service quality can slightly dip 😝.
In summary, the service at this hotel is very good, but the overall facilities are not large. If you're looking for a two or three-day healing stay, I highly recommend it 😜 (Special shout-out to Darcy for the excellent service!).FromKRW 265,703

Zhujiajiao, Oriental Land Shanghai|43.7km from city centre
Sun Island is an established resort, perfect for family trips. All facilities are well-equipped, and the customer service is attentive.
Kids can enjoy horse riding in the morning, feeding animals from the mini-train at noon, splashing around at the water park in the afternoon, and playing various indoor games at the club in the evening or when it rains. There are activities for every time of day, ensuring a fun experience. A bonus we discovered is that even adults can rent lure fishing equipment and enjoy a relaxed fishing session with no prior experience needed.
Overall, it was a pretty good recreational experience!FromKRW 132,852

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|21.83km from city centre
This is a Japanese-style ryokan where rooms are spread across individual two-story buildings, offering a relatively private and quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, and each comes with its own independent entrance. The hotel provides a shuttle bus that takes about 5 minutes to reach Disneyland, and morning and evening transfers can be reserved. In the morning, you generally only need to wait about 10 minutes to board the 7-seater van. For the evening, booking two hours in advance is usually sufficient to get on the bus on time, and the driver will also call to coordinate. The drop-off and pick-up point is located right next to the Disneyland metro and bus lines, and it takes about a 10-minute walk to get to Disneyland. Overall, it was a pretty good experience. Especially considering that most surrounding hotels cost over 1,000 RMB (4 digits), we managed to snag a special rate under 1,000 RMB, making it very good value for money. Highly recommended for a stay.FromKRW 132,250

Changfeng Park Area Shanghai|8.63km from city centre
After returning from Kyoto, I've been searching for a good hot spring resort in the Yangtze River Delta region. I first saw 御宿和庭 (Yushuku Watani) recommended on Dianping, and my stay there truly was a five-star experience.
The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center, and it boasts a beautiful garden landscape. The front desk service and hotel activities are exceptionally thoughtful, with various engaging small activities like handicrafts and sound healing meditation sessions.
The hotel doesn't cut corners; the private hot spring tubs are very spacious, and you can even choose different types of springs. The mini-fridge is restocked daily with three soft drinks, and the hair dryer is a Laifen, which works incredibly well. Yukata are also provided, and the bedding is unbelievably comfortable – once you lie down, you simply can't bear to get up. The hotel's breakfast and lunch are also noteworthy.
All in all, these two days have been one of the best, if not *the* best, hotel stays I've had in Shanghai.FromKRW 119,005

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|22.65km from city centre
I visited this hot spring hotel during the short holiday, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. The hotel is built into the mountainside, with lush green courtyards and beautiful scenery at every turn, creating a serene and healing atmosphere. The front desk staff were warm and polite, making check-in and check-out smooth. They even thoughtfully provided hot spring wristbands and a fruit platter. The room had ample natural light and a well-designed layout. The underfloor heating warmed up quickly. The vanity and the scenic balcony were very thoughtfully designed, and the bedding was soft and comfortable. The room was spotlessly clean with no strange odors. The hot spring areas were clearly divided, with distinct features like medicinal pools, petal pools, and grotto hot springs. The water temperature was perfect, and the water was changed regularly. The poolside areas were clean and free of debris, with plenty of showers and towels available. After soaking, you could relax in the lounge area, which offered complimentary tea and snacks. The farm-style dinner featured fresh ingredients and generous portions, with a light and non-greasy flavor. Staff were visible everywhere and responded quickly to requests, without any excessive upselling throughout our stay. It wasn't overly crowded, offering great privacy – perfect for solo relaxation or family trips. The price is reasonable, and the facilities are comprehensive. It's a top choice for a leisure getaway and a wonderfully pleasant escape from city stress. Definitely worth repeat visits!FromKRW 46,157

The room was very spacious and clean. The Western breakfast was high quality, especially the egg tarts and cheese sandwiches which were particularly delicious.

The hotel's location is excellent; it's a quick walk or bike ride to the pedestrian street and the Bund. I arrived at noon, and the hotel hadn't reserved the newly renovated room type as requested in my booking notes. After my persistence and the front desk staff's proactive coordination, I was successfully checked into a newly renovated room type that afternoon and even upgraded to a suite. I could also see the Oriental Pearl Tower and the 'three-piece suit' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers). Thumbs up! 👍👍👍 The concierge, housekeeping, and front desk services were all excellent too! 👍👍👍FromKRW 263,897

I stayed at the Pullman Jing'an for a business trip, and the experience far exceeded my expectations. The hotel boasts a prime location right in the Jing'an Temple commercial district, with the subway station just steps away. Getting to West Nanjing Road or Hongqiao is very convenient, and there is an abundance of dining options in the surrounding area.
The lobby has a modern and grand design, and check-in was very efficient. The room offered an expansive view, and the bedding was exceptionally comfortable—a lifesaver for overcoming jet lag or recovering from intense work. The breakfast spread was extensive, featuring both Western pastries and a live noodle station for fresh Chinese noodles, making it a perfect start to the day. This will definitely be my top choice for my next trip to Shanghai!FromKRW 151,114

Huaihai Road Area Shanghai|1.78km from city centre
It felt like stepping back into the 1930s. All the facilities, though vintage, were fully functional. My room was near the elevator, but a screen cleverly shielded the entrance, so it wasn't directly facing it. The elevators were fast and plentiful, preventing any congestion during peak hours. The room was well-stocked with amenities, and I appreciated all the thoughtful little details. Breakfast was incredibly generous; I especially loved the Japanese breakfast with soba, sushi, and onsen eggs, though there were plenty of other options too. The rooftop cafe offered a panoramic view of the garden, but unfortunately, I missed out on the afternoon tea set that day, which was a real shame. The food in the banquet hall was also incredibly rich and varied. It really feels like you get to enjoy good food in these kind of old-money hotels.FromKRW 300,622

At this price point, it's truly unbeatable in the Bund area. The cleanliness, amenities, and convenience are top-notch—there's a subway entrance right behind the hotel, and they have their own parking lot. The room also features a lot of thoughtful touches. The only minor downside was that when we went down toward the end of breakfast time, no one seated us, and when we asked for children's cutlery, it was forgotten and never brought over. That said, the scallion oil noodles at breakfast are fantastic and a must-try! Also, Summer provided wonderful service.FromKRW 221,955

The bedding in the room was soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a good night's rest for my business trip. I happened to be there during a typhoon with heavy rain in Shanghai, and I particularly appreciate the doorman who promptly helped with my luggage.

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.27km from city centre
The Westin Bund Center is a five-star hotel with an excellent location. It's within walking distance of Yuyuan Garden Metro Station, Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Bund waterfront promenade, and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. The hotel is adjacent to the Bund Center, whose lotus-shaped roof acts like a crown for the hotel, giving it a grand and recognizable exterior.
The lobby atrium is a design highlight, featuring a 26-meter-high glass ceiling and a glass 'sky escalator' connecting the first to fourth floors, seamlessly integrating natural light – it's absolutely beautiful. The Lobby Lounge, located in the atrium, is surrounded by palm trees and flowing water, evoking a Southeast Asian vibe. It subtly encourages visitors to pause, enjoy the scenery, chat, and sip tea – truly a delightful way to live.
While the guest rooms aren't huge, their overall layout is well-planned and facilities are comprehensive. The Heavenly Bed is truly captivating; the soft, delicate, clean, and skin-friendly bedding enhances a deeply immersive dream. Three floor-to-ceiling windows offer panoramic city views – the more you stay, the more you'll love it!
The Stage restaurant offers a bountiful buffet breakfast, with both Chinese and Western options. The omelets are shaped like egg dumplings and taste great, the croissants are quite good, the tofu pudding is delicious, and the latte coffee is also pleasant. We didn't get to try the Chinese restaurant as it was hosting a wedding banquet.
The hotel also has a full range of fitness equipment and an indoor heated swimming pool. It's a truly joyful experience to relax and unwind here.FromKRW 275,336

We were upgraded to a river-view suite at check-in, which greatly enhanced our stay. The secret was that having two rooms and a living room for a family of four gave us a total of three bathrooms, making it super convenient for everyone. The breakfast was lavish with fresh ingredients, and the front desk manager was very nice. In the evening, the jazz bar played nostalgic classics and tunes, which is perfect for middle-aged and older guests to reminisce about the past. There were quite a few foreign guests around as well. I heard it’s closing for renovation next year, and we probably won't be back until around 2029. Plus, the management company will be upgrading from Fairmont to Raffles. For those with a soft spot for old Shanghai, I recommend coming to experience it as soon as possible!FromKRW 508,328

We had such great luck on this trip, and booking the hotel went smoothly. Choosing the Pudong Shangri-La was definitely the right decision! The location is super convenient—it's very easy to take a stroll along the riverside, and heading over to Super Brand Mall for dining and walking with the kids is a breeze. Best of all, the hotel service is simply amazing! WALLE WANG, the young lady who helped us with the check-in process, was so lovely. Seeing that we were traveling with a toddler under three, she went out of her way to help us upgrade to a river-view suite. This was a wonderful surprise for our family of three visiting Shanghai for the very first time! The suite is spacious, and our little one was thrilled to run around. The cleanliness of the hotel gave us great peace of mind, and the room setup was delightful. We will definitely stay here again the next time we return to China.FromKRW 301,023
💡 Tips Before Visiting a 24-Hour Spa in Shanghai

As you might imagine, 24-hour spas operate very differently to what we are used to in Europe. That’s why these tips will help you make the most of the experience.
💡 What to pack:
- Most spas provide pyjamas or a T-shirt and shorts set to wear in mixed-gender areas, as well as towels, a locker, and basic toiletries, so there's no need to pack too much.
📌 Standard rules:
Every spa has its own rules, but some are common:
- It is mandatory to shower before entering the water areas.
- In many gender-segregated thermal areas, swimwear is not worn.
- Photography is not permitted in certain areas, especially in changing rooms and swimming pools.
- It's best to keep your voice down in the break rooms.
💰 Accepted payment methods:
- Although Alipay and WeChat Pay are the most common payment methods in China, most establishments accept international cards.
- Remember that the entry price covers much more than just the bath: it includes access to all-you-can-eat buffets, cinema zones, and relaxation areas.
- And in most spas, your payment method is saved, and anything you consume that isn't included (like extra massages) is added to your wristband to be paid for when you leave.
👍 Cultural aspects worth knowing:
- If it's your first time at a 24-hour spa in Shanghai, the concept will likely surprise you. Unlike European spas, where we usually spend a few hours, in Shanghai many people go to relax, but also to eat or spend time with friends and family. So, don't be surprised to find people reading, watching a film, working on their laptop, or even spending the night there.
💡 Our advice is simple: take your time. Part of the charm lies in wandering through the facilities and discovering a form of leisure very different from what we're used to.
🎁 Which 24-Hour Spa in Shanghai Should You Choose?
The best option will depend on your budget and the type of experience you're looking for. Here are our recommendations:
- 🏆 Shuiguo Hot Spring is the best all-round option thanks to its 24-hour facilities, hot springs, saunas, rest areas, and included food. Ideal for long layovers or for relaxing all day long.
- 💰 Young·SPACE Spa offers the best value for money. Its 24-hour facilities, capsule-style cabins, private cinema, and leisure areas make it an excellent alternative for those looking to save.
- ✨ Qushui Lanting is the most exclusive option, offering a tranquil atmosphere, premium facilities, and high-end service for a truly luxurious experience.
