Conveniently located in the heart of Pudong, Shanghai’s most dynamic financial, business and culture zone, close to Shanghai New International Expo Centre, within walking distance to Century Park and Shanghai Science & Technology Museum Metro Station, and also ideally situated within Pudong’s Thumb Plaza, a lifestyle mall offering an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, bars and entertainment venues, the Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park boasts a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities that will appeal to discerning business travellers and leisure guests seeking style as well as comfort and convenience.
The Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park has redefined elegance in a sleek, chic and minimalist fashion that is totally refreshing. A study in bold colours, the interior décor, with its clean lines in both furniture and furnishing, is simultaneously eye-catching and inviting. The immediate impression is one of pure artistry, reinforced by commissioned modern art pieces being featured throughout the hotel, such as the designer lightning fixtures in the lobby that act as functional pieces of art that draw the eyes upwards.
All 362 rooms and suites enjoy a feeling of space, light and function with high floor-to-ceiling windows, modular furniture and large plasma screen television. The rooms and suites are spacious and ensuite bathrooms are bright with designer bathtubs and separate shower stalls.
The dining and entertainment outlets on the hotel’s ground level – Lobby Lounge, Bytes, Porcini Italian Restaurant and Infinity all-day dining restaurant – flow into each other with no doors or barriers, resulting in a seamless harmony. The Chinese Restaurant “Yar Chi Ting” is theatrical and dramatic and destined to be a talking point destination for food lovers across Shanghai.
Yar Chi Ting
A Chinese restaurant located on the third floor, the décor is totally unexpected with giant candelabras, overhead lights resembling chopsticks, rectangular tables and “pao” seats. It serves a wide array of Chinese cuisines, including Cantonese, Shanghainese and food from other Chinese regions.
Infinity
The hotel café, also located on the ground floor, serves an all day dining international buffet as well as an à la carte menu. Stylishly designed with clean lines and an airy ambience, Infinity offers an extensive selection of Asian and Western cuisines including seafood, sushi, sashimi, and desserts. Everything is freshly prepared in the two interactive open kitchens.
Porcini
A departure from typical country Italian décor, the interior is minimal and slick. A wood fire oven takes centre stage, and the food is authentic Italian with a modern touch. An open kitchen offers hot and cold selections prepared in front of guests using only the freshest ingredients.
Bytes
Situated at street level, this spacious deli connects to the business centre. It offers light meals and delicious coffees to take away or be enjoyed whilst connecting with friends or checking your mails. Bytes offers 24hours freshly baked breads and rolls – some of the best in Shanghai.
Lobby Lounge
Adjacent to the main lobby and stylishly furnished with crystal bead curtains and modern furniture, it is the perfect place to meet and relax over snacks or drinks.
Whether a formal board meeting, trendy product launch or even a romantic wedding, Radisson Pudong Century Park provides the perfect backdrop for any event. With 750 sqm of combined banquet and meeting space, the facilities include a grand ballroom and ten smaller function rooms that can be configured in many flexible ways. The Hotel can cater for a wide range of occasions for groups from six to 340 people.
With a ceiling height of 6.5 metres, the interior of the grand ballroom reflects the contemporary and artistic style that is the hotel’s unique hallmark. All meeting rooms are well designed to enjoy abundant natural light and an impressive city view.
A unique offering for the business traveller, the hotel also has a creative solution for guests who require a small but very private meeting room. Some of the guest rooms are connected to the meeting rooms, ideal for small private meetings, interviews, financial counselling, or even an exclusive antique or jewelry exhibition or sale.
A full meeting and catering team is available to provide comprehensive, customized, professional service, including event planning, equipment hire, venue set-up, catering and on-site support.
In the public areas, creative expression has been used to great visual impact. Setting the ambience for the whole hotel, the lobby immediately places the hotel in its cultural context by referencing Chinese elements. The core idea is that the hotel is an oversized lacquer box with the lobby as the centre, inviting guests to discover the treasures within. The designer lighting fixtures in the lobby act as functional pieces of art that draw the eyes upwards.
The Hotel boasts a comprehensive range of facilities and amenities including three Radisson Club floors, complemented by a large and well-equipped Club Lounge offering panoramic views of Pudong. Other amenities include business centre, swimming pool, tennis court, fitness centre and an underground car park. And the hotel has complimentary broadband & wireless internet access covering all guest rooms and public areas.
Shanghai Art Center
The result is a hotel that successfully fuses contemporary design, commissioned art works and Chinese influences to practical elements. The Radisson Hotel Pudong Century Park is a feast for the eyes, comfort for the spirit and the epitome of efficiency and personalized service for the discerning business and leisure traveller.
