Personal style without barriers

Andaz Shanghai offers guests a refreshing take on the boutique lifestyle hotel, reports Tang Zhihao in Shanghai.

Andaz Shanghai, in Xintiandi, a lifestyle hotel belonging to the Hyatt chain, has become a preferred boutique hotel choice in China, especially among local Shanghainese.

Boutique hotels have risen in popularity to meet the needs of an increasing number of sophisticated guests who are more comfortable with a less-traditional stylish hotel experience. The growing maturity and sophistication of the Chinese market has further helped to drive the desire among Chinese consumers for a more personalized hospitality experience.
