Shanghai’s most famous hotel features Shanghai’s most famous jazz band (starts at 7pm), a septuagenarian sextet that’s been churning out nostalgic covers such as ‘Moon River’ and ‘Summertime’ since the dawn of time. There’s no admission fee, but you'll need to sink a drink from the bar (draught beer starts at ¥70; a White Lady is ¥100).
The original band takes the stage from 7pm to 9.45pm; to get the pulse moving, a ‘sultry female vocalist’ does her bit from 9.45pm.
