During my May trip to Shanghai, I came across this new hotel right across the Shanghai Exhibition Centre (SNIEC) in Pudong. Jumeirah being part of the luxury hotels in Dubai and with the beautiful exterior design meant that we had to go in and see the hotel for ourselves.
After a long walk around the exhibition centre, we went to the hotel for some drinks. Even the long walk to the hotel was quite interesting as the facade and landscapping was very unique.

| The interior decoration is like a museum |
The lobby is not large and the lobby lounge takes the centre stage. The giant LED screen on the ceiling is beautifully done. The dark lighting, traditional erhu music, the ambiance is just perfect to relax.
The attention to details in the interior decoration is very commendable. The service levels is also very high.
However, from the prices of the drinks, the room rates will not be cheap. We all had tea but I had a special tea that was suppose to reduce blood pressure. However, I would not call it a tea and it was horribly bitter. really really bitter.

I will visit again the hotel next year and maybe explore a bit more. It's a very interesting hotel, I must add. I am sure there will be more surprises.
Until the next time, cheeers.
