If you need a stylish Shanghai address, you can’t get much better than one of these luxurious, beautifully appointed apartments in the Embankment Building. Pied-à-terres, with designer furniture and some with exposed concrete beams, are located in a living, breathing residential Shanghai block, and bumping into tenants merely adds authentic charm (look past the grotty lift on arrival).
Be sure to savour the outstanding views (none lower than the 5th floor) and decor of each apartment, each with soundproof German windows. Apartments range from 40 to 120 sq metres, with a daily maid service, underfloor heating, kitchens with Nespresso coffee machines and washer-dryers.
