The EDITION Shanghai

The founder of Edison, Ian Schrager, chose Neri&Hu Studio for the renovation of the old building. During the design process, Neri&Hu made a lot of references to the traces of the original building. The iconic "triangular windows", "pitched roof" and "brown wall bricks" of the East China Electric Power Building have been preserved as historical witnesses and the most valuable details of the building itself. Overlooking the hotel's terrace bar from above, the most conspicuous thing is the flagpole preserved from the old building. Entering the lobby, you first pass by an exquisite and modern bar. The ultra-high zenith wrapped in dark wood is hung with a metal chandelier, which is a specially customized installation light from Eric Schmit, a French architectural decoration master. On the large and relaxing sofa, three or two people are drinking and chatting. Founder Ian Schrager has the concept of "Lobby Social", which is to make the hotel lobby a meeting place. The warm light design and home layout add a warm and relaxed atmosphere to the overall space. The Hiya Dining Lounge Chair is from the Rén series designed by Space Copenhagen for Stellar Works. Large areas of wooden elements are used in the guest rooms to create a warm and jade-like sense of home. Each guest room has the works of Mr. Xia Yongkang, the royal photographer of Wong Kar Wai. These emotionally charged black-and-white photos offer glimpses of Shanghai from a bygone era, in stark contrast to the breathtaking cityscape beyond. #hotel #staycation #shanghaiweekend #hôtel
