Present perfect

By Mary Gostelow

THIS MONTH: Shanghai, China

WHERE? Room 3162 in the new Tower Two of the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel.

WHAT? Look out your window, 31 floors down and across the Huangpu River to Old Shanghai.

WHY? You are caught in a unique moment of time, combining a view of the past with life today: Your Phillips plasma screen TV swings out from the wall, and your egg-shaped tub is freestanding.

The WOWfactor: Tour the Bund in the hotel's royal blue Rolls-Royce Phantom. Everyone will know you are truly important.
