Novotel Shanghai Chuansha

Novotel Shanghai Chuansha is the mid-range Accor hotel in Chuansha, the town between the airport and Shanghai Disney Resort: 244 rooms close to Chuansha station on Metro Line 2, about 13 km from the terminals, with a free airport shuttle on the hour from before dawn that must be booked a day ahead. It is a sensible base for a night before a flight combined with a Disney day, and the metro link means you are not tied to the shuttle for the city.
