Pentahotel Shanghai GM Takes Guests for a Ride

Starting 17 May, Pentahotel Shanghai General Manager, Marcel van Mierlo, will lead a complimentary bi-weekly Pentafun bike tour for guests seeking an intimate and fun way to explore the neighbourhood.

Every other Friday, the two-hour bike ride will take guests around the scenic concession area of Changning District, with a coffee break at a café in the French Concession.

Interested guests are encouraged to book 24 hours prior to the tour as it is on a first-come, first-served basis, with each tour able to accommodate up to three guests.

Pentafun bike is a free service offered to guests staying at pentahotel Shanghai, and is an ideal way to explore the city’s hidden gems.

“Biking through the neighbourhood allows guests to get up close and personal with the daily life of Shanghai, giving them great insight into the destination,” said Mr. van Mierlo, an avid biker who cycles to work daily, even during rainy weather. “The bike tour also gives me an excuse to do two of my favourite things – have fun with guests and get out and ride.”

The 258-room Pentahotel Shanghai is located in Shanghai's Changning District commercial hub, opposite Zhongshan Park, with direct access to both the metro and light rail stations. It is a short drive to bustling Nanjing Road, Huaihai Road and the up-market business and entertainment area of Xintiandi.
