This high-end boutique hotel on the South Bund opened in December 2010 and has already cemented its reputation as one of the best regarded hotels in Shanghai.

It has 184 rooms, including 23 suites, and each is decorated individually in a mix of contemporary and typically Chinese styles. There are quirky pieces of furniture, interesting ornaments, and tasteful murals throughout.
