The Shanghai EDITION – Laid-Back Luxury on the Bund
Effortless Cool by Ian Schrager
A Cultural Hub in Heritage Wrapping
Right on the edge of the iconic Bund waterfront, The Shanghai EDITION is Ian Schrager’s elegant answer to the city’s fast pace. Spanning two beautifully restored heritage buildings, this 145-room destination balances social buzz and stylish calm with the ease of a silk robe.
Design for Gathering
The interiors feel like an invitation to stay a while—natural walnut and oak, lush greenery, rich velvets, and oversized windows framing views of the Huangpu River. Spaces are warm and tactile, never flashy. It’s luxury without the attitude, with just the right amount of edge.
A Scene Built In
With nine restaurants, bars, and clubs, EDITION doesn’t just host a scene—it is the scene. From a moody speakeasy to a high-rise garden bar, from clubby DJs to quiet rooftop cocktails, there’s a space (and soundtrack) for every kind of night.
River Views and Velvet Nights
Rooms are calm cocoons. Soft lighting, curved lines, and carefully chosen textures elevate the atmosphere without ever overpowering it. Whether you’re staying for work or play, it’s a design-forward nest with a sense of softness.
DNA Hotels Verdict
The Shanghai EDITION proves that relaxed doesn’t mean boring. It’s a low-key luxury retreat with just the right mix of energy and ease—a hotel that hosts the city without shouting about it.
