URBN is China’s first carbon-neutral hotel combining modern architecture and Chinese aesthetics. Using recycled materials and uber-efficient design, its energy usage is so much more efficient than equivalent establishments.
The hotel is situated next to the historic French Concession area of the city known for its delights and high-class restaurants, clubs, and boutiques.
One of Fodor’s top 100 hotels, URBN was built in a converted warehouse using locally sourced materials.
The hotel's special concept is by A00 Architecture, a team of 3 Canadian architects who have come to specialize in regenerating Shanghai’s downtown buildings.
The interior design is by Brazillian, Tais Cabral, and combines modern Chinese design with a little South American flair.
One room has its own three-tiered internal atrium, another has a Jacuzzi; all have free-standing baths and astounding aesthetics. Richard Branson and NBA star, Tao Ming have been known to stay at the hotel.
A rooftop champagne bar, award-winning dining, and cocktail creations are all there to whet your appetite for style and taste.
