Positioned on the Puxi bank of the Huangpu River where North Sichuan Road meets the waterfront, the tower that houses Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund places a contemporary 30-storey structure in direct conversation with one of the most charged urban panoramas on earth — the Bund's Art Deco facades on one side, Pudong's vertical excess on the other. The building's grid of bronze-toned curtain wall reads as deliberately neutral against that backdrop, content to frame the view rather than compete with it, and at night the blue-lit facade trim visible in the exterior images gives the tower a quietly cinematic presence along the river. Inside, the interiors navigate the tension between Shanghai's layered histories with more confidence than the exterior might suggest. Dark hardwood floors run throughout the 184 guest rooms, grounded by round floral-motif rugs in deep indigo and gold that draw on traditional Chinese textile patterns. Canopied beds hung with sheer fabric panels, lacquered black side tables, and red paper-shade lanterns place Chinese craft references alongside mid-century European furniture — a white Arne Jacobsen-style Corona chair appears in the room shots, an easy pairing that avoids the usual East-meets-West clumsiness. The rooftop bar, decked in weathered timber with LED strip lighting and geometric polished-aluminium stools, delivers the Pudong skyline at close range, while the upper-floor restaurant wraps exposed brick walls around floral-upholstered wingback chairs with the Bund monuments glowing through floor-to-ceiling windows beyond.

Hotel Indigo’s first property in Asia Pacific opened its doors in December 2010. Sitting directly on the Huangpu riverfront, Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund assures not only spectacular views of both the historic Bund and dramatic Pudong skylines, but an upscale boutique hotel experience where the focus is on inspired service, fresh and vibrant design reflecting the local neighbourhood, and providing guests with an authentic taste of today’s Shanghai, where old and new converge.
