City hoppers used to view city hotels as just a place to retire at for the night after exploring the destination. But this attitude is set to change with more hotels offering better onsite facilities, more enticing food and beverage options or simply, more luxurious rooms. With all these reasons, it would be hard not to stay in. Below, a new crop of hotels for your Little Black Book.
Bulgari Hotel Shanghai
The well-known jewellery brand’s second outpost in China after Beijing has stayed true to its Italian roots at a time when paying tribute to the host destination seems to be de rigeur. All 82 rooms and 19 suites are dressed in warm chocolate hues, dark wood, Italian marble furniture, and the softest Bulgari cashmere blankets dressed by Milanese interior design firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.
Despite all the Italian finery, the property is still plugged into the identity of the city – its grounds are part of the refurbished historic Chamber of Commerce, a relic of Shanghai’s concession-era past.
Bulgari Hotel Shanghai is at 33 North Henan Road, Shanghai, T: +86-21-3606-7788.
