About Hotel Indigo Shanghai on The Bund
- Shiliupu is about 150 years old and reopened in 2010 with the Bund works. Keith Barr, then IHG's Greater China chief, picked the pier because it had stories to tell.
- Waterhouse, a few blocks away in the Cool Docks, opened the same season with the same idea: leave the packed banker's Bund and sleep by a working wharf.
- A rooftop pool frames the river, and the public rooms are dressed as Wharf Stories, with vintage suitcases and nautical maps.
- Entry-level rooms start at 323 sq ft (30 m²).
History
Hotel Indigo Shanghai on The Bund opened in December 2010 at 585 East Zhongshan No. 2 Road, Huangpu, beside Shiliupu Wharf. It was the first Hotel Indigo in Asia Pacific. Hirsch Bedner Associates designed the interiors, including reclaimed shikumen brick and shell showers, across 184 rooms. The pier beside the door is about 150 years old. The hotel itself is the new arrival on that dock.
