There is nothing quite like the full Shanghai experience than staying in the city’s leafy former French Concession, and, the Regal International East Asia Hotel, on the city’s famous Hengshan road is exactly that.
The 330 rooms and suites are extremely comfortable and spacious with fantastic views over the tree-lined streets of Puxi.
The recently renovated Premier Rooms with contemporary streamlined design and stateof- the-art technology feature flat-screen TV, high-speed Internet, Mp3/iPod docking station, remote controlled curtains and mail alert systems. Unlike the traditional dark tone used at international brand hotels, the bright beige colour and matching surrounding décor makes the rooms feel warm and welcoming.
The hotel also offers intimate ‘ladies rooms’ – featuring a cosy cosmetic station on which is lined up Evian Facial Mist, make-up removal oil, manicure kit, designer jewellery box, L’Occitane bathroom amenities and handy humidifier. Sitting in the Glass Patio (the friendly hotel staff like to call it “The Hanging Garden”) at the Regal Club Lounge, the Hotel never ceases to surprise. Boasting real tranquillity and elegance and surrounded by green bushes and plush trees with full-length glass panel walls and roof, the Patio serves as a resting lounge and sunbathing garden for the Executive Floors.
The 24-hour Business Centre offers access to wireless and cable internet, PC workstations, audiovisual equipment, meeting rooms, and a private office.
The hotel also has a Tennis Centre encompassing a whole floor within the hotel itself, as well as a 4788m² beautifully maintained outdoor area – four indoor and seven outdoor tennis courts, a 25-metre heated swimming pool, a squash court, 12-lane bowling alley, exclusive sauna, spa and massage facilities and huge gym.
With the former French Concession streets at your doorstep, take a stroll and even some photographs of this renowned and romantic area of Shanghai.
Regal International East Asia is well connected to the city’s No 1 subway line and located just 20 minutes by car from Hongqiao Airport, 35 minutes from Pudong International Airport, walking distance to Xujiahui commercial centre and a 30-minute drive to the World Expo site. It is also a place full of dynamic energy with four restaurants and a bar, and 12 meeting and conference rooms with dividable grand ballroom.
No wonder hotel General Manager Yves Genet describes his hotel as “a mini resort within
the city” and a sanctuary in the hustleand-bustle. ■
