HBA / Hirsch Bedner has completed the design of the first Hotel Indigo property in Asia Pacific at Shiliupu at the Southern end of the Bund in Shanghai. Opening November 15, 2010, Hotel Indigo Shanghai offers spectacular views of the historic Bund and the dramatic Pudong skylines with an individual design that reflects the local neighborhood. The boutique hotel provides an authentic taste of today’s Shanghai while creating a destination where old and new converge.

Developing the first Hotel Indigo in Asia, HBA created a design that transforms the boutique brand name into a vantage point of the most interesting areas within the storied and dynamic city of Shanghai. Throughout the 180-room hotel, the design is about connecting the hotel to the neighborhood – one that is anchored by the river and its influence on commerce and connection. The result is a youthful, contemporary, inspired space that understands where it has come from but also leads the way into Shanghai’s design future.
