Residences

Chai Living

Chai-residenceRanging from 40 to 200sqm, the appartments are very well located, close to the Bund and World Expo site, within the heritage Embankment Building. Bringing back the splendor of this famous Shanghai Art Deco building, the appartments are fast becoming an in-the-know place for temporary Shanghai residents. Right by the Suzhou River, you will be able to meet Chinese local residents who still live around, most of them being teachers, students, retired government officials and a very cosmopolitan crowd of foreigners. The minimum stay in Chai is one month and the prices are not cheap, but if you have some money to spend, you should hurry up to book an apartment to add an incredible historical dimension to your stay in Shanghai.
