Extensive renovations of the traditional Shikumen houses turned the small Xintiandi neighborhood into a vibrant entertainment quarter. In its center, the Andaz Hotel towers over the low roofs of the community. Structure and form of the hotel’s futuristic window façade echoes the traditional buildings, and the styled lobby invites lingering. Using the intricate LED system in the generous, open-design rooms, guests can adjust the lighting to the their mood.
