Wanda Reign on the Bund: A Stunning Art Deco Hotel

A Century-Old Vibe with a Modern Twist

The Wanda Reign on the Bund, designed by the Wanda Hotel Design Institute, is a masterpiece that combines the elegance of Art Deco with the cultural heritage of old Shanghai.

The exterior design of the hotel pays homage to the classical architectures in the Bund, employing the iconic Art Deco style. The lavish ornamentation, including bold geometric shapes and decorative pilasters with flowing lines, incorporates cultural elements of old Shanghai, such as magnolias. The metallic screens, adorned with simple and symmetric patterns, further enhance the old-fashioned vibe, transporting guests back to the city's glamorous twenties and thirties.

What sets Wanda Reign on the Bund apart is its meticulous attention to detail. The hotel adopts a gray theme, with contrasting shades of fiery red, elegant blue, and metallic gold and bronze, all of which are characteristic of the Art Deco style. The Art Deco-inspired furniture and lamps add to the overall ambiance, creating a truly immersive experience.

Collaborating with over 60 artists, the designers have transformed Wanda Reign on the Bund into an art palace. Throughout the hotel, guests will find 89 tailored artworks that perfectly complement the space. From traditional Chinese paintings with an Art Deco twist to contemporary sculptures, every corner of the hotel is adorned with creativity and beauty.

Recognized for its exceptional design, Wanda Reign on the Bund was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2019 in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious accolade is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate outstanding creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life through the integration of art, science, design, and technology.

Wanda Reign on the Bund is not just a hotel; it is a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of Shanghai. With its Art Deco charm and unparalleled attention to detail, this design masterpiece offers guests a truly unforgettable experience.
