Mandarin Oriental for premium riverside living

An unmatched location, peaceful surroundings, outstanding design, stunning indoor and outdoor facilities, and above all, award-winning service — that’s what the Executive Apartments at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai, offers.

As Shanghai’s only fully-serviced residences located right on the east bank of the Huangpu River, the 210 luxury-furnished apartments — from studio to three bedrooms — are designed to impress even the most discerning guests with luxurious waterfront living.

Spanning 47 to 191 square meters in size and featuring a contemporary design that embodies both modern elegance and supreme comfort, the 210 apartments invite guests to embark on a relaxing experience at Shanghai’s newest premium riverside address.

Homey details of the apartments include hardwood floors, goose-down duvets, marble bathrooms and plush terry robes, to name a few, while wooden walk-in closets help guests keep their clothing, footwear and other apparel easily organized in the best manner, and a valet box for discreet deliveries.

An INNCOM energy management system promoting energy efficiency and a green lifestyle has been adopted at the residences. Interconnecting apartments can even be arranged to create a larger family home upon guests’ request.

With flexible leasing terms from one month to one year catering to different needs, the Executive Apartments at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai, all featuring magnificent river and city views plus a kitchenette and laundry facilities, has distinguished itself from its local counterparts with its superb service and facilities including daily housekeeping and 24-hour concierge and butler services.

Guests at the residences have on-site access to the hotel’s six superb, world-class restaurants and bars. Among them are two signature cutting-edge restaurants, respectively led by Richard Ekkebus of the Michelin two-star Amber at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong, and Shanghainese celebrity chef Tony Lu.

They are building their fame rapidly as desirable waterfront culinary destinations. Other privileges for Executive Apartments guests include 24-hour access to the hotel’s 25-meter indoor swimming pool and a fully equipped Fitness and Wellness Center with a Kinesis wall and Maya Fit virtual trainer.

Those seeking to refresh and pamper themselves will find the Spa at the hotel, just steps away. Featuring the city’s first private spa consultation space offering Visia complexion analysis, it provides a comprehensive range of massage and beauty treatments incorporating state-of-the-art techniques as well as the latest products for anti-aging, body-firming and skin care therapies.

Within walking distance to the bustling Lujiazui business district where corporate offices and tourist sites are clustered, the Executive Apartments at Mandarin Oriental Pudong, Shanghai, also has the new Shanghai Metropolitan Marine Yacht Club at its doorstep, which will allow guests to enjoy sunset cruises along the river.

Residents can enjoy riverside walking and jogging since the apartments have direct access to the waterfront promenade and landscaped gardens of Harbour City, a 250,000-square-meter mixed-use development that will be home to office towers, luxury retail, fine dining and entertainment.

It also offers an exhilarating and unique-in-Shanghai touring experience — Segway rides. People can rent the Segway two-wheelers to travel along the Huangpu River promenade accompanied by an experienced guide.

“Mandarin Oriental is renowned for providing service that is individual and passionate, inspired by a sense of graciousness and a sincere desire to serve others in keeping with our Oriental roots,” says Pierre Barthes, who has taken the helm of the 362-room luxury hotel as well as the Executive Residences since February 2012. “To completely delight and satisfy our guests remains the mission of our brand.”

Opened in late April as the third Mandarin Oriental property on the Chinese mainland, the new icon of Oriental hospitality has brought many firsts to Shanghai.
