dark oak parquet, Carrara marble bathrooms and intricate marquetry woodwork give the interiors a weight and craftsmanship that the building's glass exterior doesn't hint at.
“Fu’s layered approach and cultural references infuse the rooms with character and contemporary elegance. Starting at 538 square feet, each comes alive with intricate marquetry woodwork and timber screens, dark oak parquet floors and Carrara marble bathrooms.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Xingye Road in Bao'an, the tower anchors a fast-evolving coastal district with open views across Qianhai Bay.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling glass looks onto Qianhai Bay, framed by dark oak parquet, intricate timber screens, and deep soaking tubs in Carrara marble.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 25-meter indoor lap pool looks out over Qianhai Bay, lined with cushioned daybeds beside floor-to-ceiling windows.
The spa
Four private treatment suites offer Ayurvedic therapies and facials, complete with soaking tubs and quiet relaxation lounges.
The St. Regis Bar
A hand-painted mural anchors the bar, where bartenders mix the signature Bay Mary with lychee and osmanthus.
At the table
Yan Ting prepares seasonal Cantonese dishes, and the 51st-floor Astor Terrace Bar pours fragrance-inspired cocktails above the bay.
How it began
Architect Keith Griffiths of Aedas designed the tower, while André Fu shaped the interiors to bridge early twentieth-century New York with Qianhai Bay.
