Serviced Apartment

Serviced Apartments in Shanghai

Shanghai's serviced apartment market caters to relocators and business travelers who need a functioning base without the friction of traditional leases. Whether you're in Pudong for a banking rotation or Huangpu for a three-month assignment, these properties offer furnished units with hotel-style services — weekly cleaning, concierge support, sometimes short-notice availability.

The listings here span multiple districts and price tiers. Central locations near Lujiazui or Jing'an command premium rates, while Minhang or Songjiang options provide better value. Most units include utilities in the quoted rate, though internet speeds and kitchen equipment vary; clarifying these details upfront prevents surprises.

Direct contact with property managers is the fastest way to negotiate stay length, confirm what's bundled, and ask about corporate discounts — no booking fees, no middleman. This also lets you verify actual unit condition through photos or site visits before committing.

Minimum stays typically range from 30 days to 6 months, but flexibility depends on occupancy and season. Tenants used to Airbnb should expect professional leasing processes here: ID checks, sometimes a deposit, utility setup. For long-term corporate assignments, many properties offer net-30 or net-60 payment terms.
