Shangri-La Qiantan, Shanghai, is located in Qiantan Pudong. Together with Taikoo Li Qiantan and New Bund Centre, Shangri-La Qiantan, Shanghai forms a large international business district that integrates offices, retail, hotel and other functions.

The design concept draws on elements of both Shanghainese culture and “green nature”, cleverly combining them to create a unique sensory experience.

The Narrative traces the rich history of Shanghai and its many cultural influences.

The success of the design falls on balance, the perfect balance between The Traditional and The Modern, with references to both the colonial history and the distinct heritage of the city.

The screen doors, walls and art objects showcase traditional Shanghainese architectural elements such as Shikumen, and signature patterns create the feeling of a “home away from home” for guests.

The Bar and outdoor areas on the seventh floor feature a wide, open green space.

“This urban oasis brings guests closer to nature, giving them a feeling of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.” C.Huang states.

The 28-story hotel building offers a total of 585 guestrooms, most of which have a magnificent riverside view. The simple yet modern design is enhanced with thoughtful touches throughout to elevate the guest experience.
