Just 6–8 kilometers (10 minutes by car) from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG), our hotel is one of the most strategically positioned accommodations for travelers navigating one of Asia’s busiest aviation hubs.

Whether you’re arriving on a red-eye flight, departing before dawn, or enjoying a layover between international connections, here’s everything you need to know about airport transfers, shuttle services, travel times, and layover support—all designed with your convenience in mind.

🚌 Complimentary Airport Shuttle Service: Your Door-to-Terminal Link

One of the most valued amenities at Vienna International Hotel is our free airport shuttle service to and from Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG). This dedicated service eliminates the stress of navigating taxis, ride-hailing apps, or public transport—especially during late-night arrivals or early-morning departures.

  • Operating Hours: Typically runs from 5:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with extended hours available upon request for early or late flights.
  • Frequency: Shuttles operate on a scheduled basis (approximately every 30–60 minutes), but advance reservation is required.
  • How to Book: Simply contact the 24/7 front desk at +86-21-58389888-0 with your flight details (arrival/departure time and terminal).
  • Pick-Up/Drop-Off: The shuttle stops at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of PVG, ensuring seamless access regardless of your airline.

💡 Pro Tip: For flights departing before 6:00 AM, notify the front desk the night before to confirm your shuttle slot—early departures are fully supported!

⏱️ Travel Time: How Long Does It Take to Reach PVG?

Thanks to our prime location in the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, the drive to PVG is consistently quick and reliable:

  • Normal traffic: 8–10 minutes
  • Peak hours (7–9 AM / 5–7 PM): 12–15 minutes
  • Late night / early morning: Often under 8 minutes due to minimal traffic

This proximity makes Vienna International Hotel an ideal choice for:

  • Early international departures (e.g., 6:00 AM flights to Europe or North America)
  • Late-night arrivals when you’d rather rest than commute into downtown Shanghai
  • Tight layovers requiring a quick overnight stay

🧳 Luggage Storage & Layover Support: Your Transit Hub

For travelers with multi-hour layovers or same-day flight connections, the hotel offers complimentary luggage storage at the front desk—no room booking required. This service allows you to:

  • Freshen up in the guest restroom or shower facilities (available upon request)
  • Enjoy a meal at the on-site restaurant
  • Relax in the lobby with free Wi-Fi while waiting for your next flight

If you have 4+ hours between flights, consider booking a day-use room (subject to availability) for a proper rest, shower, and change of clothes—ideal for long-haul travelers.

🚖 Alternative Transport Options

While the hotel shuttle is the most convenient choice, other options are also available:

  • Taxi: Readily available outside PVG; fare to the hotel is approximately ¥35–50 RMB (including tolls). Look for the official taxi queue at the arrivals level.
  • Didi (Chinese ride-hailing app): Works well if you have a Chinese phone number and payment method. The hotel address in Chinese: 上海市浦东新区施湾六路566号.
  • Public Transport: Not recommended for luggage-heavy travelers, as it requires a 15-minute walk to the nearest Metro station (East Huaxia Road on Line 2), followed by a 3-stop ride to PVG.
