A conjunction of Chinese roots and ultra-modern lifestyle, the URBN Hotel Shanghai is China’s first carbon-neutral hotel. Located two blocks away from Nanjing Road – the premium shopping and entertainment district of Shanghai, the hotel maximizes the spatial concept, the interior décor and façade design to exude the features of eastern charm with western convenience. Having the “Connect” program available to its guests, the URBN Hotel offers its guests traditional arts such as calligraphy painting and tai-chi classes indoor as well as tea ceremony and chopsticks making classes off-site.

Committed to developing the operations of its green hotels, the URBN Shanghai has focused on capitalizing in conservation and restoration efforts for cost and impact reduction. The team focused on using recycled and locally sourced materials such as reclaimed hardwoods, old Shanghai bricks and passive solar shades to lessen the ecological footprint of staying in a very cosmopolitan city like Shanghai. There is also an additional water-based air-conditioning system and health treatments that complement the traveller’s stay into a unique environment friendly one.
