为庆祝上海外滩W酒店开幕，W酒店推出高达3米以上海小笼包为灵感的创意装置——“小笼包手推车”。创意装置“小笼包手推车”的结合W品牌现代设计理念，采用粉色、紫色及绿松色亚克力材料，致敬穿梭于都市高楼大厦的外卖车。近日，创意装置“小笼包手推车”已在上海外滩W酒店炫彩走廊亮相，引来过往宾客拍照并分享在社交平台。随后，“小笼包手推车” 将进驻北京、广州、香港、伦敦及纽约五大国际都市的W酒店，最终将在即将开业的苏州W酒店亮相，并为各地宾客准备了以小笼包及上海目的地为灵感的创意菜单及W特色鸡尾酒菜单，还有上海外滩W酒店音乐创意总监监制的音乐。
In celebration of the opening of W Shanghai – The Bund, W Hotels debuted a 3-meter-tall Xiaolongbao cart installation, kicking off a tour series that will soon see the installation at select W hotels in Asia, New York and London; eventually returning at the soon-to-open W Suzhou. A nod to Shanghai’s iconic bicycles often stacked sky-high with delivery goods – a scene common on the Shanghainese streets – and Shanghai’s famous soup dumplings, the cart features playful colours such as pink, purple and turquoise intertwined with eye catching acrylic materials. Hotels across Asia will feature special food and cocktail menus inspired by Xiaolongbao and the city of Shanghai, including a specially curated music playlist by W Shanghai’s music curator. Currently on display at W Shanghai’s Electric Laneway, the installation is a stirring photo and epicurean opportunity.
上海外滩W酒店坐落于北外滩，因其特有的曲面型结构，几乎所有的客房都可以坐拥黄浦江炫彩迷人的城市天际线，让宾客将上海悠久的历史与飞速发展的现代间的魅力差异尽收眼底。饱受赞誉的设计公司G.A. Design以流光“异”彩作为设计理念，融合上海的城市历史以及“海派文化”，艺术性地呈现东西文化以及新旧时光。这一设计理念在上海外滩W酒店得天独厚的地理位置上得以体现——酒店位于黄浦江和苏州河之间，装饰艺术风格建筑与中式建筑环绕周围，为宾客上演了一场流动的时光之旅。
Located on the North Bund, W Shanghai – The Bund draws upon colonial glamour and futuristic motifs, with nearly all 374 guestrooms featuring views of the Huangpu River due to the uniquely curved frame of the building’s edifice. Designed by the acclaimed G.A Design, the hotel showcases an exciting combination of historic and modern influences, such as Hai Pai – the art of combining the old and the new, East and West. This is evident in both the hotel’s location, perfectly positioned between the Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River, as well as the surrounding locale, where Art Deco buildings sit alongside opulent Chinese mansions.
