At the Waldorf Astoria on the Bund, Touch the Old Shanghai

The Waldorf Astoria consists of two buildings. The historic building, constructed in 1910, was originally the site of the Shanghai Club, featuring a neoclassical style with Ionic stone columns and Baroque carvings, exuding elegance and solemnity. The black-and-white checkerboard marble floors from Sicily, Italy, and the retro corridor bar are brimming with historical charm. When the crystal chandeliers light up, it feels like stepping back into old Shanghai in an instant. The newly built hotel tower is connected to the historic building through a courtyard, where modern style and retro ambiance collide seamlessly, creating no sense of discord. 📜 Historical Story: The predecessor of the hotel, the Shanghai Club, was no ordinary place. Also known as the British Residents' Association in Shanghai, it was officially completed in 1864 as the first foreign residents' club in Shanghai.
