The Langham is a masterpiece of 1930s Art Deco architecture just steps from the famous
People's Square, the Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street and a 10 minute stroll from the historical Bund.
Beyond the enchanting facade are 96 exquisitely appointed rooms and suites - each designed to recapture the glamour and grandeur of the era when Shanghai was famed as the "Paris of the East". Interior design is a wonderful blend of Art Deco heritage and modern residence - to ensure that each exquisite room and suite offers a personal sanctuary of comfort, distinguished by the opulence of Old Shanghai and the luxury of spacious surroundings.
Many rooms also have the added luxury of a private balcony or terrace allowing guests a privileged perspective of Shanghai's bustling street life.
