AI Summary

A 52nd-floor throwback to 1920s Shanghai with Art Deco design, live jazz and panoramic Bund views. The cocktails lean modern — the Glazed Shanghai pairs vodka with clarified tomato, while bar bites draw on the city famed tea houses.

Polished and welcoming

An excellent spot to bring a client. Quiet enough to talk business, polished enough to impress.
