Character and identity
A 401-room statement hotel in Pudong, directly opposite the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, housed in an Arata Isozaki building that reads as a giant red sparkling cube by night and, in part, as a sculpted boulder inspired by a piece of jade. The aesthetic is Ming-meets-modernist throughout, anchored by a 40-foot lobby that splices tiki bar with ancestral hall, walls of a thousand backlit Chinese characters, an LED ceiling, and the owner's Chinese art collection on display. Expect refined restaurants, a cocktail lounge, indoor pool, and full spa.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate travellers and business guests tied to the Expo Centre or wider Pudong, plus anyone who wants a maximalist piece of contemporary Chinese architecture rather than a generic five-star tower. Art and architecture fans will find genuine substance in the lobby alone.
Should look elsewhere:
Travellers wanting Bund views, Puxi walkability, or the buzz of central Shanghai will feel marooned across from a convention centre. The art display is reportedly poorly lit, so don't come expecting a curated gallery experience.
Bottom line
The reason to book here is the building itself: an Isozaki landmark with a lobby that genuinely justifies a detour, paired with a Pudong location that makes sense if your trip orbits the Expo Centre. Spend the money if you're attending a fair or you care about contemporary Chinese design; otherwise a Bund or former French Concession address will serve you better.
