Vast cream marble flooring, soft lighting and chandeliers welcome guests in the lobby, while further on in the seating area, royal blue glass, post-modern furniture and patterned carpets contradict. The result is the sensation of smooth luxury and modern design. This hotel is the perfect landing-point to guests exploration of Shanghai, a city once termed ‘Paris of the East’, a busy, cosmopolitan place which reflects colourfully in the black Huangpu river by night.
