The rooms are chic and state-of-the-art, many with views of the Bund, and the public spaces, in classic Schrager style, are given top billing.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set along pedestrian Nanjing Road East, the hotel is a five-minute walk from the historic Bund and the Huangpu River promenade.
The rooms
Light oak paneling and slanted windows frame views across Pudong and the Bund, paired with white marble bathrooms.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A conservatory-enclosed lap pool is finished in Pietra Serena stone. Upstairs, the gym opens onto an outdoor yoga terrace.
The spa
Six treatment suites with slatted wood walls sit on level six. The floor also has saunas and quiet relaxation areas.
Bar
ROOF
Cream banquettes line the open-air rooftop bar, where champagne cocktails come with panoramic views across the Huangpu River.
Behind the bar, natural light pours into a 26m-high atrium, highlighting the historic façade, while cascades of hanging plants soften the space.
At the table
Shanghai Tavern serves British brasserie fare in emerald velvet booths. Up above, a bronze spiral staircase leads into YONE.
How it began
The hotel links the restored 1929 Shanghai Power Company headquarters, complete with historic coffered ceilings, to a striking contemporary skyscraper.
