A dimming sunset slowly cascades through a wall of windows, peeking through the ever-expanding skyline of the Shanghai business district in Lujiazui. The glowing city lights bounce gracefully off marbled surfaces, creating a rhythmic sense of calm amid a bustling city.

The sights and symphonies of the city are awaiting to be discovered, yet the hotel’s oasis of the sky-high infinity pool looks ever so indulging. Shanghai’s golden age is alive and well in Pudong, where past and present wistfully converge.
