【Location🗺️】
The hotel is near Line 13 Shibo Avenue Station, Line 8 China Art Museum Station, and Line 7 Yaohua Road Station. It’s just 5 stops on Line 13 to reach West Nanjing Road, making transportation very convenient.
-
【Design🌟】
YANG Bangsheng Design Group drew inspiration from the secret garden of a mansion, using a step-by-step scenic approach to immerse you in the Shanghai-style culture of the past, showcasing the charm of the collision between vintage and modern New Shanghai styles.
-
【Lobby🛎️】
The decorative carvings behind the front desk and concierge desk are copper art window patterns, abstractly expressing some of Shanghai’s landmark buildings and cultural elements.
-
【Public Area🛋️】
As the first guest to check in, I personally witnessed the floral decorations in the public area grow from nothing. These exquisite artworks make the hotel a prelude to this "art gallery."
-
【Guest Rooms🛏️】
Their deluxe rooms start at 41㎡, and the design differs somewhat from standard rooms in other hotels.
The walk-in closet is placed at the entrance, serving as a relatively independent space separated from the bedroom area, saving closet space.
The premium river view rooms offer quite a nice view; as long as visibility is good, you can see the Lujiazui skyline and the Oriental Pearl Tower not far away.
-
【Service💁】
Another impressive detail is that when the turndown service is done, a sea salt heat pack is placed on the bed. This is clearly prepared for my old back—so thoughtful.
-
【Restaurants🍴】
The hotel has only two restaurants and a lounge.
The Little Nanyang Restaurant on the 4th floor specializes in Shanghai local cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, and also serves Hyatt Group’s signature Peking duck and exquisite Northeastern dishes.
