While perhaps falling a tad short of its boutique aspirations, this hotel is a stylish choice – especially given its prime location on West Nanjing Rd. The dark corridors won't be to everyone's taste, but the airy rooms themselves are fantastic, with plenty of colour, throw rugs, large mirrors, couches, designer beds and cooking facilities. There's also a small gym.
Reception is on the 3rd floor, where you'll find an arty open-plan cafe. Entrance is along Taixing Rd.
