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.

Hongqiao District Shanghai|11.03km from city centre
A special thanks to Sunnee for her thoughtful and attentive service, which truly elevated my entire stay. This hotel is a rare healing sanctuary in the city; the subtle fragrance upon entering immediately soothed away the urban fatigue. Upon check-in, they even conduct a body constitution assessment. The room had a fantastic ambiance, and the 'Earth Bed' provided an incredibly comfortable sleep, with a variety of pillows to choose from. Little thoughtful touches like the Himalayan salt lamp and sleep aid devices were everywhere.
The Hengyue Xinshe Hot Spring is definitely worth experiencing; after a soak, I felt completely relaxed. There are also free workshop classes available, such as sound bowl healing and yoga. The service was meticulous and warm, with prompt responses to both check-in and daily needs. The dining options balanced wellness with great taste. Here, you can temporarily escape the hustle and bustle and truly relax your mind and body. I highly recommend coming here to rest and recharge; I'll definitely be back!From£153

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|21.83km from city centre
I was very satisfied with my stay this time. The hotel is located directly opposite a huge shopping mall, which is beautiful for taking photos. The room was comfortable and spacious, and after a tiring day, I slept really well at night. The hotel offers free hot springs ♨️ access. After exploring Disneyland, my legs were exhausted, so I went straight to soak in the hot springs to relieve them. The hot spring facility had all the toiletries you could need. After bathing, I could complete my washing there and then return directly to my room to rest, which was fantastic! The young man with glasses provided excellent service, helping me with my luggage to the room and then carrying it to the car when I checked out. There was also a handsome waiter who escorted us to the hot spring entrance. The front desk lady had a great service attitude. The hotel offers a free shuttle service to Disneyland, which requires booking 2-3 hours in advance. This was incredibly convenient for my two-day visit to Disneyland.
The hotel breakfast was also very rich, with many food options, including freshly cooked rice noodles and wontons, which tasted quite good!
The only issue was that the sockets for the kettle, coffee machine, and TV had no power. I had to use the socket by the sink to boil water. I informed the front desk, and they said someone would come to check, but when I returned to the hotel in the evening, it still wasn't fixed. However, it didn't affect my 3-day stay. No TV? No problem, I just lay in bed and played on my phone!
If I come to Shanghai Disneyland again, I will still choose this hotel.From£70

I stayed one night at Yuansu Hot Spring Hotel in Shanghai, and the overall experience was better than expected.
The room was very clean and well-equipped, making for a comfortable stay. My favorite part was the private hot spring tub in the room. After returning in the evening, I could soak anytime without needing a reservation, which offered excellent privacy.
The hotel also offers therapeutic activities like meditation. Unfortunately, I only stayed one night and didn't have much time to try them, but they seemed quite unique.
Parking at the hotel is very convenient, with plenty of spaces available. If you're driving, you basically don't have to worry about parking.
The hotel staff provided excellent and patient service. They were always quick to help with any issues and spoke very kindly.
Even though it was just a one-night stay, the overall experience was great. If I'm looking for a quiet place to relax and enjoy a hot spring in Shanghai in the future, I would definitely consider coming back here.From£73

Fengxian Development Zone Shanghai|32.57km from city centre
The hotel room facilities are good, with everything that should be there. The smoking area outside is also very beautiful. The breakfast in the morning is very good, it is self-service, and there are freshly made noodles to eat. If you are thirsty, you can go downstairs at any time to have some drinks and fruits, which are all included in the hotel package. Why the deduction? Like many reviews wrote, the water in the pool here is really too hot. It is the hottest of all the hot springs in Shanghai that I have been to. It feels too hot. I saw that several children could hardly soak in the water for a while. I don’t know why so many people complained. I saw that the management was still saying in the comments that it met the hot spring temperature requirements. What they said is that your water is too hot, and they are giving you suggestions. Everyone in the hot spring said that the water was hot, not that you violated any regulations... It takes talent to reply like thisFrom£41

Shanghai Disney Resort Shanghai|18.67km from city centre
I visited Qianyun after looking at dozens of places in the area. I wanted to be away from typical city area, have a bathtub and nice outdoor area, and with easy access to Shanghai Disneyland. Qianyun met all those requirements and more! The location was immediately very serene and surrounded by forest, but still easy to access lots of waimai food delivery options. They were also very kind and proactive about sharing information about local restaurants and activities, and provide a breakfast and evening fruit every day. They offer free car transport to Disneyland, and I was excited to use this service but I ended up enjoying my time at the hotel so much that I opted to stay and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere instead! The hotel pets are so friendly - within five minutes the little cat Banban was on my lap and purring.
The room itself is decorated very nicely with all the amenities you need. The bathtub inside is very comfortable and I loved the outdoor hot spring tub as well. The attention to hygiene is very highly emphasized and I was impressed with how clean and luxurious everything felt.
I will definitely visit again and recommend to anyone hoping to have a convenient getaway from the city, or who would like to be near to Disneyland Resort while also experiencing a more peaceful area and for a good economical value and high quality service!
Thankyou for the wonderful stay, I felt very welcome at all times.From£89

The location is excellent, right on Nanjing Road. There's a revolving restaurant upstairs and a shopping mall on the lower floors, making dining very convenient. Oliver, who assisted us, was incredibly nice and attentive, providing a five-star service throughout our stay. Most of the guests were international tour groups. The only downside is that the rooms are a bit old, and some have average views. It would be better to choose a room type carefully when checking in at Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai New World.From£114

This hotel exudes an old-money charm. I booked a night at the Garden Hotel for a staycation, just to switch things up. It's a classic for a reason – the location is unbeatable; it's a leisurely 15-minute stroll back from the Shanghai Culture Square. Not to mention the stunning large lawn and the gorgeous Art Deco interiors. The service was excellent across the board, the pool was great for a swim, and breakfast offered the usual five-star Chinese and Western options, plus the Garden Hotel's special Japanese breakfast 😎. All in all, a very satisfying stay.From£94

The Bund Area Shanghai|1.73km from city centre
The hotel was very nice. The breakfast buffet had a mix of western food and Chinese food. The only improvement I would suggest is a more powerful toaster, but that obviously isn’t a deal breaker. We stayed in a lovely room with a balcony. The housekeeping was wonderful and came every day during our stay. The view of the Bund from the elevator waiting area/lobby was really nice, especially in the evening. Highly recommend staying at Blossom House!From£100

I had a very satisfying stay. The lobby atmosphere and environment were excellent, and the location was superb. It's only a 15-minute walk to The Bund and Nanjing Road, making it convenient for taxis and public transport. The room was simple, clean, and well-equipped with all facilities in good working order. You could see the 'three-piece set' (referring to the three iconic skyscrapers of Shanghai) and the Oriental Pearl TV Tower from the window. The front desk service was attentive, and check-in was quick and easy, not taking much time at all. The room was very well-maintained and even had a mini-bar and complimentary snacks. Overall, I had a great experience and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shanghai.From£96

Jing'an District Shanghai|2.6km from city centre
This is my second time staying at this hotel. I booked an executive twin room with my child. The room was clean, and its location right in the heart of Jing'an Temple makes dining and taking the subway incredibly convenient. I first booked it because of its proximity to Eileen Chang's former residence, Changde Apartment, and I booked it again because of its excellent location and service. My child particularly loves the hot spring pool here. We also ate several meals at CP Jing'an this time, which was very convenient.
However, you need to watch the time when taking a taxi. I noticed during this trip to Shanghai that Jing'an Temple is really congested. Getting to the hotel was a constant jam, and the ride to the airport was also quite slow. The hotel breakfast is excellent! There's a wide variety, and I always eat too much. Check-out time is also very flexible; my flight was at 4 PM, and the front desk staff kindly extended our check-out to 1:30 PM, which was fantastic service. I'll definitely consider staying here again on my next trip to Shanghai.From£116

Dapuqiao Area Shanghai|2.92km from city centre
Decent stay, but several misses for a 5-star property
My stay at the Pullman Shanghai Central was a mixed bag—nice in some areas, but disappointing in others.
Check-in: The staff were very friendly and welcoming on our first day. However, I was surprised that they wouldn't let me check in until 3:00 PM. At most other hotels, I'm usually able to get an early check-in (even if I arrive at noon), so this felt a bit rigid for a property of this level.
The Room: The room itself was comfortable—the bed was soft and the shower pressure was actually perfect (not too strong, not too weak, just right). Unfortunately, the room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke upon arrival. To their credit, when I called the front desk, they immediately offered to change my room, which was very professional of them.
Breakfast: This was the biggest letdown. The breakfast buffet felt more like what you'd expect from a 3-star hotel rather than a 5-star Pullman. The quality and selection just weren't there for me.
Overall: It was an okay stay—nothing terrible, but nothing exceptional either. I wouldn't rate it a 10/10, more like a solid 6. Good service from the staff, but the check-in policy, smoke issue, and food really held it back.From£79
9.2/10Very Good3775 Reviews
The Bund Area Shanghai|1.27km from city centre
Facilities: This is an old-school five-star hotel. While the style has a bit of history to it, everything is impeccably clean. It truly showcases the quality of a five-star hotel and makes you feel at ease.
Hygiene: Nothing to complain about, absolutely excellent! Spotless.
Environment: Many foreigners stay here, making it feel like you're abroad. Of course, Shanghai is indeed an international metropolis, and you see a lot of foreigners on the streets.
Service: I have to complain about the hotel's breakfast, specifically the noodle and wonton station right at the entrance. You're a five-star hotel, after all. Yet, the wontons and noodles are pre-cooked. If you want some, they just roll them around in the broth, which is incredibly perfunctory. They taste mushy. It really cheapens the experience. They even give you a tag and tell you to pick it up after three minutes. Does it really take three minutes to swish something in a pot? It's out in 20 seconds, tops.
However, the egg pancakes are made fresh! An egg pancake requires tomatoes, onions, minced meat, mixing, spreading, rolling, and plating – wow, that sounds like a lot of work, right? But they make each one fresh, and you have to wait for it. If no one orders, they just leave the pan empty! You guys are truly dedicated!
Perhaps wontons and Chinese noodles just don't 'agree' with hotel settings, and they have to be pre-cooked. That's a tough pill to swallow.From£135

To celebrate a family birthday, I specifically chose the Pudong Shangri-La, a well-established hotel. Although it's been around for some years, the environment, facilities, and service are still excellent. The Bund view room, in particular, offered a fantastic location. While there was some mist during the day, the view became clear and vibrant once the lights came on at night, with the entire Bund skyline right before our eyes. Many thanks to the hotel for their service, and for specially preparing a birthday cake. It was a truly delightful experience.From£129

We had a fantastic stay and were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, always even greeting us at the door, opening doors and checking cars for belongings left behind after long shopping trips.
The hotel has a beautiful, luxurious atmosphere, with excellent facilities including a very well-equipped gym and separate men’s and women’s sauna and steam rooms as well as a pool and hot tub. There is also an onsite spa opened till 2am! The ‘This Works’ bathroom toiletries in the rooms were a lovely touch and smelled wonderful.
Breakfast was outstanding, with an impressive selection and freshly prepared omelettes, steamed buns and pancakes. The English-speaking staff were also incredibly helpful throughout our stay and provided great recommendations of places to see and where to eat close by.
The location is excellent, within easy walking distance of Nanjing Road and the Bund. Overall, a beautifully presented hotel with genuinely excellent service — we would happily stay here again and am glad we chose to stay here as there are an overwhelming amount of choices available but we feel we made a great choice!From£137

Any questions we had were handled promptly and efficiently. She thought of every detail and was so gentle and patient.

💡 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.
