Salvo Hotel Shanghai

Our hotel in Shanghai isn't quite as nice as the one in Nanjing, although it may actually be ritzier. The room is badly designed. Didn't they have a feng shu artist work on this?! It's a long rectangle. You walk in and there is a closet on one side and the bathroom on the other. There is a large tub, but the shower is just next to it without a door. Thus you get the tub wet when you shower. A row of shelves houses loose tea, cups and one of those fabulous heat-water-in-seconds electric teapots I fell in love with while in Europe. Next is the living room with a desk and TV. Only when you sit at the couch you look at the computer NOT the TV! A beautiful wood wall with pocket door separates the living room from the bedroom. The bedroom part barely fits the queen bed, dresser, tv and desk. The best part is the view.

We face the Bund and Pudung. While it is partially blocked by the monstrous Westin Hotel in front of us, the view is amazing.
