Shanghai has an exciting new luxury address, with the opening of the Italian fashion house's latest hospitality development
Set on the riverbank not far from the city's famous waterfront, The Bund, the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai is a 48-floor tower that features 82 rooms including 19 luxury suites.
Along with the modern high-rise, the Italian fashion house restored the adjacent Chamber of Commerce Shanghai, a 20th-century landmark which features Italian gardens and houses a 500-square meter, triple-height-ceilinged Bulgari ballroom.
To harmonise the Italian brand to its Chinese setting, guestrooms feature materials like black lacquer cupboards and Tuscan Calacatta marble tabletops for an East meets West aesthetic.
Common spaces like the lobby and hallways are understated, with matte black granite, light Navona travertine, polished teak, and bronze detailing.
