Character and identity
Set inside a converted 1929 art deco building that once housed the Shanghai Power Company, this 145-room property on Nanjing East Road translates Ian Schrager's EDITION formula into a distinctly Shanghainese register. Interiors by Neri & Hu balance calming neutrals against architectural drama: a bronze spiral staircase inside YONE restaurant, an 85-foot floating garden in the atrium, an Eric Schmitt light installation anchoring the lobby. Public spaces do the heavy lifting, the wood-panelled Club Room with its private screening lounges, the reservations-only Punch Room with Ming-style cocktail bowls, the Roof lounge looking across to Pudong's skyline. Rooms run to imported linens and light oaks.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-literate couples and solo travellers who want to feel embedded in the city's nightlife rather than insulated from it. The Roof, Punch Room and Club Room genuinely pull a local crowd, so guests who enjoy that "insider" energy, plus easy Metro access to the rest of Shanghai, will get the most out of it.
Should look elsewhere:
Families and anyone wanting Bund-front views or a resort-style retreat. Nanjing East Road is heaving with foot traffic, and the spa is currently closed for renovations, so guests prioritising wellness should wait or book elsewhere.
Bottom line
What you're paying for here is the public realm: bars, lounges and restaurants that locals actually choose, wrapped in some of the most considered hotel interiors in the city. Book a higher category room if you want to match the drama of the downstairs spaces, and aim for May to September to use the Roof and Roof Garden properly.
