The Huating Hotel (Huating binguan) is a five star hotel located in the southwestern part of Shanghai, right beside the famed shopping Mecca of Xujiahui.

It is just steps away from the Wantiguan (Shanghai Indoor Stadium) subway station which links up to most of Shanghai's commercial and business centers.
