Studio Carter has meticulously crafted the overall design of Kimpton Shanghai, achieving a masterful blend of European influences with modern elements, resulting in a space that seamlessly combines drama with intimate captivation. This project holds a distinctive place as a personal favorite for Studio Carter, successfully uniting diverse design elements to fashion an environment that is not only visually striking but also replete with experiential nuances.

The influence of European aesthetics pervades the property, imparting a timeless elegance to every corner. From ornate detailing to classic color palettes, the design pays homage to European influences while adroitly integrating contemporary elements that breathe vitality into the space. This fusion achieves a harmonious equilibrium, where the old and new coalesce, fostering an ambiance that exudes sophistication and warmth.

Noteworthy are key features such as the scent bar and culture library, which introduce an additional layer of uniqueness to the design. The scent bar, in particular, enhances the sensory experience for guests, enabling them to craft their personalized signature fragrance—a distinctive aspect of their stay. In contrast, the culture library serves as a curated space where guests can delve into the rich heritage and artistic influences that have inspired the overall design.

The exquisite design seamlessly extends into the bedrooms, where each detail is thoughtfully curated to elevate the guest experience. Special features in every room transform a mere stay into an immersive journey, ensuring that every moment within the confines of Kimpton Shanghai is not merely an overnight stay but an indelible and enriching experience. The design transcends mere aesthetics; it unfolds as a narrative, recounting a tale of cultural fusion, modern luxury, and personalized indulgence that renders this project truly exceptional under the meticulous guidance of Studio Carter.
