An Atmosphere of Serene Elegance
Step off the bustling streets of the Huangpu District and take the elevator to the 5th floor, where the chaotic symphony of downtown Shanghai instantly fades away. The hotel’s restaurant is designed as an extension of the “Puyin” (hidden beauty) aesthetic that defines the property.
