Hotel Description
The Astor House Hotel is located on the north side of Huangpu River, near Garden Bridge and close to the Bund and Nanjing Road. It was previously known as Richard's Hotel and was established in 1846 by the Richards family, and was the very first western hotel in the whole of China. In 1907, the hotel was restored as a neo-classic Baroque structure. Over the past 150 years, Astor House Hotel has retained its glorious architectural essence, epitomizing the historical nature of the city of Shanghai. The hotel was renovated to its former elegance in 2002.

Near By Sites
People's Square:
People's Square is the biggest public square in Shanghai. It is a political and cultural center combining culture, history and beautiful landscaping.

In the center of the square is a 320 sq. meter fountain. It is the first giant music-synchronized "dancing" fountain in the country. Red, blue and yellow sculptures in the fountain portray a beautiful, glowing display, creating a grand sight for those who visit the area.

Nanjing Road:
Visitors will tell you, "If you have not visited Nanjing Road, you have not seen China". Nanjing Road, known at home and abroad as the number-one business thoroughfare in China, is a symbol of Shanghai's rapid business expansion. Because of the impact of commerce conducted here, this road's past and future will affect not just Shanghai, but one-fifth of the world's population. Ten years from now, when we stroll down Nanjing Road, what will we see? Will there be some surprises?

In the near future, Nanjing Road will be separated into three areas pursuant to a thematic direction referred to as "Nanjing Road's Perpetual Charm." From the Bund to the middle of Henan Road will be an area called "The Sea's Passion;" the thematic elements will include stylistic romance, old-time elegance and bring forth reminiscence of days gone by. Visitors will hear jazz melodies wafting from the coffee-colored Heping Hotel, relax at the fashionable open bars, and enjoy the abstract sculptures erected along the street. With the strong contrast between historic and modern styles, fashionable young people and international tourists will soak in the special charm of old Nanjing Road.

Oriental Pearl Tower:
The base of the tower consists of a lobby, a shopping mall and science "fantasy city." Various public and physical plant facilities occupy the two-level basement. The five spheres are designed as a "space hotel" and arranged like a cluster of beads. The observation deck is on the first upper level, at a height of 250-295 meters and a diameter of 45 meters. The so-called space module is even higher at 350 meters and 16 meters in diameter. This observation floor and entertainment area is reserved for special parties and distinguished guests. The antenna extends yet another 118 meters above the building. It transmits TV programs from nine different channels and radio programs from ten FM stations. The tower is equipped with spectacular external lighting, which makes the entire structure colorful and bright.
