Hot Bed
High Up in Shanghai
THIS MONTH: Shanghai, China
Where? Room 2916 of the 439-room Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, in the middle of the Puxi business district, just 10 minutes from the Bund and the Huangpu River.
What? Wake up in luxurious cream-and-gold surroundings, a haven of warm wood and gilding with modern art to excite the senses.
Why? This place has discreet glamour: no bling, just sensational good taste. Plus, you can use the 20-metre indoor pool before breakfast.
The WOWfactor: In the Jazz 37 bar (on the top floor), you are greeted by a full-size golden sculpture (by Da Yu Sculpture Company) of a dancer hugging the wall.
