Also in AFAR.
While not exactly a riot of color, the rooms present plenty of tasteful riffs on dark wood and lacquered surfaces.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Step straight into Xintiandi, where restored grey-brick Shikumen houses host outdoor bistros, wine bars, and the bustling boutiques of Huaihai Road.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks over Shikumen rooftops, while dark wood interiors frame marble bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated 25-meter indoor lap pool sits alongside textured stone walls and a hydrotherapy Jacuzzi.
The spa
Circular moon gates lead into treatment suites rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Elements bodywork.
Bar
Cachet Lounge
Afternoon tea arrives on custom Wedgwood china, before the lounge turns to evening cocktails and live music.
Accommodations combine dark woods, floor-to-ceiling windows, green and gold wool carpets with a paisley-like motif, and dual-basin bathrooms with oversized bathtubs.
At the table
Two-Michelin-starred T’ang Court prepares Cantonese classics, and open-air rooftop lounge XTD Elevated pours cocktails above the skyline.
How it began
Kohn Pedersen Fox designed the curved facade to echo traditional Chinese folding screens, stepping down toward historic Shikumen alleyways.
