The At One Hotel is a new hotel one hour outside of Shanghai, with a serene design and views of the beautiful YangCheng Lake and the 6th century Buddhist Chongyuan Temple.
With 72 guest rooms, this three story hotel designed by local Tsao and McKown architecture group sits on the surrounding shoreline. The designers furnished the interior with modern furniture, wooden sculptures, recycled stone and reclaimed timber. The all-white color scheme creates a calming environment for guests, and is home to a large wellness center that offers watsu massages, a salt cave sauna, a hammam pool and a gym.
The large windows allow each room of the At One Hotel to be filled with natural light and vast, one-of-a-kind views.
