The mixture of east and west has long been evident in Shanghai, even before the Cultural Revolution and no other distinct area best holds the often quoted epithet ‘Paris of the East’ as the evocative old French concession area. This newly restored area of traditional Shikumen now stands as a proud reminder of times past.

Location New meets old in its designer shops, bars and restaurants and within this eclectic district stands the lakeside oasis of 88 Xintiandi, literally ‘New Heaven, Earth’.

Facilities Boutique in style this simple old structure has been lovingly restored with chic traditional furnishings to provide sumptuous discreet accommodation in this culturally hip area. A small but excellent hotel restaurant and bar provide an option to dine in, while a world of food and beverage lay waiting on the cobbled streets of this distinctive area. The hotel also boasts access to a fully equipped fitness centre, small indoor pool, sauna and steam room.

Accommodation An essence of comfort and style is offered in its guest rooms providing spaciousaccommodation. Exceedingly modern in comfort with a hint of tradition, rooms come complete with airconditioning, television and DVD player, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, kitchenette and bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
