Art Deco Boutique Hotel Set to Wow Glamorous Shanghai
The doors of The Langham, Yangtze Boutique, Shanghai are now open, enabling guests to experience the glamour of the Golden Age of Old Shanghai in a unique Art Deco masterpiece.
The first, very fashionable guests to arrive were Francesco Sibilio, Head Designer and Alessandro Maione, Corporate Lawyer from Italian fashion brand Energie Denim.
Stefan Heintze, General Manager of The Langham welcomed the first guests to Shanghai’s latest boutique hotel and bestowed upon them the invitation to get “Absolutely Shanghaied” and enjoy the eponymously-named cocktails at the hotel’s bar, on the house for all future stays at the hotel.
For the first two months, all guests staying at the hotel will also be given the opportunity to get “Absolutely Shanghaied” with a beverage of their choice in the hotel’s glamorous bar as well as complimentary breakfast and broadband internet.
Mr Heintze said: “The hotel allows the guest to relive the glamour, elegance and fun of Shanghai’s Golden Age in the 1930’s. The parallels of Shanghai today and Shanghai in the 1930’s are uncanny, as both are times when Shanghai was, and now is, the most exciting city in the world. The style, services and facilities we offer reflect this exciting time in Shanghai’s development.”
Special opening room rates start at RMB1700 and guests can call the hotel directly on (86) 6060 0800 or make their own reservations on www.langhamhotels.com
