Hyatt unveils new Andaz Shanghai hotel
Hyatt Hotels Corporation (HHC) has launched its new Andaz Shanghai property in China, which is located in the Xintiandi entertainment area of downtown Shanghai.
The 307-bedroom hotel occupies a 28-storey building and includes the Andaz Lounge, Hai Pai and Éclair dining experiences; a translucent indoor pool; and a 24-hour fitness suite.
Meanwhile, the new 2,200sq m (23,681sq ft) Optime Spa is to open during Q1 2012 and is to comprise 10 treatment rooms with seven double cabins and one steamroom.
Drawing upon traditional Chinese medicine alongside modern wellness practices, the spa is to use Natura Bisse products and its own signature massage oil.
Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates (KPFA) were behind the design of the new Shanghai hotel, which has become the latest to open under HHC's Andaz brand since its 2007 launch.
KPFA design principal Joshua Chaiken said: "Andaz Shanghai sets a new standard for modern, high-rise buildings in historic urban districts in its innovative design, diverse program mix, and connection to surrounding context.
"Andaz Shanghai conveys a fashionable sensibility that extends and further develops the character of the historic Xintiandi."
