The design and architecture of the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai promise to be as impressive as its location. Renowned architects Ricardo Bofill and P&T Group have lent their expertise to this project, while the interiors will bear the signature elegance of Jean-Michel Gathy from DENNISTON. A notable feature of the property will be the restored traditional Shikumen lane houses at its base, adding a touch of local heritage. The hotel will also feature a top-tier seafood restaurant, aligning with Shanghai's culinary prestige.

A World of Amenities

Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai is set to offer an array of amenities. Alongside 7,212 square feet of meeting and event space, the hotel will also boast 7,438 square feet of comprehensive wellness facilities.
