JPA brought its wealth of experience to the interior design of Amara's first hotel under its five-star Signature brand and adjoining mall interiors in this mixed-use development located on a prominent site in Putuo, Shanghai’s bustling historic district.
The stylish interiors are based on a sophisticated, modern Asian aesthetic with a sense of place instilled through contemporary interpretations of traditional visual devices, forms, patterns, textures, colours and materials that are synonymous with both China and Singapore.
For example, the layout is informed by Feng Shui principles as are the choices of natural, local materials. This ensures that the guest experience is as fulfilling, memorable and harmonious as possible.
A spectacular double-height, polished timber, curving feature wall unifies the main lobby facilities including the eye-catching reception area and the stylish lobby bar, Flo.
The bar caters for a wide range of casual occasions from informal business meetings to convivial after-work refreshments as well as for those who prefer a degree of privacy. Our concept also shows a dramatic 5,000 square foot display of 3,000 bottles of fine wine.
The design and layout of the 234 cover all-day-dining restaurant, Blu, have been tailored to accommodate both à la carte and buffet service options. The wide range of authentic food and flavours on offer, from local Chinese and Singaporean to Japanese and international, are served from a range of smartly conceived individual stations.
Located on the top floor the exclusive Amara Club Lounge enjoys panoramic views over the city and is designed to adapt throughout the course of the day to the contrasting demands of breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. This ensures that privileged guests can relax and delight at any time in comfortable, elegant and appropriately atmospheric surroundings.
With floor to ceiling windows and ranging in floor area from a generous minimum 32 square metres to over 100 square metres, all 343 guest rooms and suites convey a welcoming, soothing ambience with classic modern interiors and a combination of elegant fabric-wrapped and richly veneered wall panelling.
