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

By Amber
July 17, 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
Before, a hotel was just a place to sleep, but this time I discovered that a staycation, just chilling at the hotel, is a truly unique and incredibly comfortable way to recharge. You don't have to venture out; you can completely rejuvenate your mind and body.
This hotel is like the Haidilao of hotels – the service is incredibly attentive.
I booked all the available wellness classes in advance through the hotel's mini-program, filling my entire day. ******* singing bowl sound therapy, various yoga sessions, breathwork and meditation, body restoration, and different versions of Baduanjin (Eight-Section Brocade) – it was a fully immersive relaxation experience that kept me engaged all day long.
Like Haidilao, the hotel staff were exceptionally attentive and caring throughout. They offered constitution tests, chakra assessments, restorative treatments, guided various classes, and even provided travel photography services. Many of these activities are simply unavailable at other hotels, like meditating and doing yoga at sunrise while watching peacocks.
After check-in, I received a thermos filled with a wellness drink tailored to my constitution. After happy hour, there was a salad, and a warm, comforting soup was delivered before bed. The next morning, another thermos with a hot drink was waiting outside my door. The self-service breakfast drinks were also delicious, natural, and refreshing; I completely lost interest in milk tea after trying them.
The entire hotel exudes a relaxing ambiance. As you step out of the elevator, there's a faint ginger scent. The bedtime fragrance is citrusy, which is incredibly calming, and there are 15 types of pillows to choose from.
I especially loved the white noise machine in the room; it has 9 sound effects to choose from, helping me fall asleep quickly, and it also charges my phone.
Guests also receive custom clothing and slippers. They resemble chef's uniforms and are exceptionally comfortable. Regardless of age or gender, wearing this outfit to classes, meals, or just strolling around felt completely natural, fostering a relaxed atmosphere throughout the hotel, without any sense of formality.
No long-distance travel, no crowded attractions – just quietly staying at the hotel allowed me to fully replenish my depleted energy. This niche staycation is truly a wonderful way for modern people to recharge, offering both ease and healing.FromTRY 9,456

This hotel is located within the Disney Resort, and the service was excellent. The breakfast spread was generous, and the room was spotless. We stayed for two nights, and every evening when we returned from the park, the room had been meticulously cleaned by housekeeping, and our clothes were even neatly folded on the bed. We really appreciate it! We'll definitely choose to stay here again next time we visit Disney.FromTRY 6,574

This was my first time staying at Onyado Nono, and I was incredibly impressed by all the thoughtful details and the beautiful environment. The serene Japanese garden offers picturesque views at every turn, with lush greenery, flowing water, and a koi pond. It was so relaxing to feed the fish and play with the little bunnies. The hotel also includes a complimentary handmade wind chimes workshop, which was a lovely way to create a personalized souvenir that chimed beautifully in the breeze. The entire staff was incredibly kind and attentive, offering considerate service without being overbearing. It's the perfect escape from the city hustle for a short, relaxing getaway. Highly recommend!FromTRY 4,676

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 thisFromTRY 2,680

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.FromTRY 5,534

My mom particularly praised the service, saying it truly lives up to its reputation as a classic five-star hotel in Shanghainese people's hearts. It was very pleasant to take a walk in the garden after dinner. The breakfast the next day had a Japanese focus, with onsen eggs, natto, and smoked salmon. Overall, a good experience.FromTRY 4,571

Even though it was raining and cloudy, we could still see the 'Three-piece Suite' (referring to the iconic Lujiazui skyscrapers)! It was amazing! This will definitely be our first choice when we visit the Bund again in the future! The kids were very happy too! The service attitude was also great! The guest room manager was very thoughtful!

I’m so glad I chose the Mehood Elegant Hotel. It was the perfect location — close to everything, not too crowded, yet not too remote either. I traveled solo with my 14-month-old toddler, and he was absolutely spoiled by all the hotel staff. Everyone treated us with so much kindness and care.
Jerry checked us in and out and even gave me a cute fridge magnet. The breakfast was delicious with so many options to choose from, the rooms were cleaned daily, and bottled water was always replenished.
Xiao Jun also took great care of us, and Yinhe Juan felt like an auntie to us. We looked forward to seeing them every morning at breakfast. They all made my stay feel so warm and welcoming — truly like a home away from home.
I’m incredibly grateful for their hospitality, and if I ever find myself back in Shanghai again, I’ll definitely be booking Mehood.

Thank you so much.
The room is neat and tidy, and the front desk service is excellent, I called to get toothbrush & toothpaste and they responded in a couple of minutes.

The room was very comfortable and cozy, clean, and the service was attentive! Our room faced the Bund, so we could enjoy a panoramic view right from the bed. The Bund at night was absolutely captivating!
The hotel's afternoon tea was also a highlight. The pastries were sweet, the fruit fresh, and the salmon sandwiches and tuna mini-burgers were especially delicious. They could even customize coffee to guests' preferences and offered a variety of freshly squeezed juices and drinks for guests to enjoy freely! The afternoon tea was truly delightful!
The hotel's breakfast was equally impressive, not only featuring items from the afternoon tea but also Chinese options like steamed buns, fried dough sticks, steamed yams and sweet potatoes, and various stir-fried dishes. They would also pan-fry salmon upon request, which was wonderfully fragrant and tender!
Check-in and check-out at the front desk were efficient and convenient, and the service attitude was excellent! They even gave me a gift when I checked out, which I really appreciated! Many thanks to Ashley and the other front desk staff for their warm service!

There were so many options, and everything was delicious.
Right next to the hotel lobby, there's a plaza with a supermarket, McDonald's, and Luckin Coffee. Cross the street, and you'll find tons of great food. Turn another corner, and you're on Nanjing Road, Shanghai's most walkable pedestrian street, with the biggest Pop Mart, Lego store, and M&M's chocolate store. It's so convenient!

She Shan, Songjiang University Town Shanghai|35.83km from city centre
During the Dragon Boat Festival, I brought my family for a trip nearby. The Shimao Wonderland InterContinental, though I'd heard mixed reviews online, I decided to experience it for myself. After confirming our check-in time and our preference for a quiet room, Hanna from the front desk proactively added me on WeChat. She reminded me that because it was a holiday and there was an amusement park nearby, parking might be tight, advising me to inform her 30 minutes in advance so she could make arrangements. We checked in on Dragon Boat Festival noon, and I was surprised to see the lobby's seating area packed with people and a long queue at the front desk. However, thanks to Hanna's foresight, our room was already reserved, making the check-in process quick and efficient. Our room was arranged away from the elevator, and the soundproofing was remarkably good. We couldn't hear any plumbing from the adjacent rooms or the floors above/below, whether it was the shower or the toilet. This undisturbed experience is a rare find, whether in hotels built years ago or newly constructed ones, a truly effective soundproofing is hard to come by. There was a minor issue with the sink drainage during our stay, which was promptly resolved, showing their attentive service. However, I have to complain about the sink's design; it was a square basin, which easily splashed water, and water tended to accumulate near the faucet – not very practical. Our stay included a complimentary travel photoshoot with three free photos. The photographer was excellent at creating a lively atmosphere, and our family portrait turned out vibrant and natural, boosting our mood significantly! Online reviews for the Western restaurant were mediocre, but the Chinese restaurant, Cai Feng Lou, received many positive comments. I spontaneously decided to try it, worried about not getting a table, but Hanna immediately helped us book a table for that evening. The standout dish in the set meal was the diced wagyu beef – a true test of a chef's skill. Each piece was large, yet perfectly tender, flavorful, and didn't get stuck in your teeth. This mastery certainly justifies the numerous trophies and prestigious brand accolades at the entrance! At the restaurant entrance, there was also an introduction to the Shimao Quarry Hotel's background and construction history. Indeed, many aspects of its design were quite visionary, considering it took 12 years to build! The cliffside light show at 8:30 PM featured stunning opening audio effects, and the fountain design added a lot to the visual impact of the mythological story. The Chenshan Botanical Garden, included in our hotel package, was even more amazing. I felt like I could spend two days there, enjoying nature, the charm of the vast lawn, the beauty of the dawn redwood forest, and the tranquility of the camphor forest. Overall, it was a good experience, but the price was just too unfriendly. Even without it being a major holiday, it was so expensive. Given the current economic climate, a more affordable price would be needed to maintain sustained market demand.FromTRY 10,607
💡 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.
- 🌿 Sun Island Forest Spa is the best alternative for a weekend getaway. Although it is not a 24-hour spa, it combines accommodation, a spa, and extensive leisure facilities in a natural setting on the outskirts of Shanghai.
🔥 Whichever one you choose, we're sure it'll be a unique experience on your trip. 🔥
