Artyzen NEW BUND 31 Shanghai

There are just a handful of places to stay in the New Bund, also known as the Qiantan International Business Zone. It’s one of Shanghai’s newest neighborhoods, and hotels in the area tend to match its modern sophistication, including the design-focused Artyzen NEW BUND 31 Shanghai. Rooms and suites are calm and minimalist with extra-high ceilings, huge windows, pale wood floors, and accent walls in shades inspired by traditional Chinese gardens: rose pink, grass green, and cerulean blue. The sleek wooden furniture is custom-made, and local artists are behind the black-and-white ink artwork on display. Slate gray bathrooms have vaulted ceilings, deep soaking tubs, and separate rainfall showers. The hotel’s restaurant, Shanghai Modern, offers seating on an open-air terrace, and the adjacent lounge serves afternoon tea in a canopied secret garden.
