Comprising 270 guest rooms and suites, the hotel at the prominent corner of the Bund and Najing Road(E), is among the city's finest and the most extravagant. The centerpiece of the restoration is an octagonal glass skylight and entire mezzanine level that were previously concealed. The two features were part of a luxury shopping arcade on the ground floor. Described in the 1930s as Shanghai's answer to London's Bond Street and Burlington Arcade combined, it once served Shanghai's elite with designer glass, jewelry, luxury watches, fashion and undergarments.位于外滩和南京东路转弯角处的这家饭店共有270间标准客房和套房，是城市中最漂亮和最奢华的饭店之一。本次修复的重点是一个八角厅大堂的玻璃天窗，和一个曾被人掩盖掉的整个夹层楼面。这两处曾是底层最豪华商场的一部分，被描述为是20世纪30年代在上海展现的伦敦邦德街和伯灵顿拱廊的结合，它曾为上海高贵精英人士提供钻石和珠宝以及高档手表、时装和内衣。
