Banyan Tree Spa at the Westin Hotel Shanghai
A luxurious spa experience in Shanghai It may seem that I do little else but spa when I am in Shanghai. This is not entirely true… but I tend to spend a great deal of time there for business, which can be stressful, so I like to make...
A Roaring Good Time at Mr & Mrs Bund, Shanghai

Gastronomic French Tasting Menu with City Views, Jade on 36 in Shanghai
A birds eye view on the Bund and fine French dining from the 36th Floor of the Shangri La Hotel I think we might be addicted to multi-course degustation menus. You might think this is lazy, to let the chef pick for you. But in reality it is...
Luxury Spa in Shanghai, Evian Spa at Three on the Bund
