A 26-story high-rise in the heart of China’s busiest metropolis is not what most people would associate with an oasis of tranquility. And yet, that’s exactly what awaits guests in this urban resort. Opened in 2009, it combines a central location in the city with all the amenities of a resort. Upon entering the lobby with its shiny black tile floor, guests are surrounded by an atmosphere of stillness, which continues in the 229 rooms and suites. The expansive Anantara Spa delivers even more relaxation. Its infinity pool offers panoramic vistas of the sprawling skyline of Shanghai and Jing An Park.
