　　The property will be housed in the upper 12 floors of a 40-storey building designed by architectural firm Foster and Partners, located within the riverside complex OCT Suhe Creek in China’s historic Zhabei district, and overlooking Shanghai’s Pudong district.

　　The hotel will offer 120 rooms and suites, including a 400 sqm Bulgari suite, and will feature a mixture of contemporary and traditional Chinese architectural themes.

　　Facilities will include a rooftop Italian bar and restaurant, a ballroom, a 2,000 sqm spa, and a Chinese fine dining restaurant hosted in the former Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which will also house an exhibition of Chinese antiquities.
