Fodor's Expert Review URBN

Set in a former warehouse that was transformed using recycled materials, Shanghai's first carbon-netural hotel has a superb design and well-trained staffers who make you feel at home the moment you enter the tree-shaded courtyard. They're also happy to arrange interesting activities, from Chinese cooking or calligraphy classes to tai chi and yoga sessions. Or you can just head to the quiet, secluded rooftop bar for a little down time.
