Bellagio
Shanghai sits tucked away along the banks of the Suzhou River, where it
overlooks the Bund, Shanghai’s most famous promenade, and skyscraper filled Lujiazui.
The hotel’s neighborhood, called Hongkou, has remained one of the few bastions
of the city’s past. While other districts have seen low-rise housing lanes
razed to make way for gleaming towers of commerce, amblers along the streets of
Hongkou are still likely to encounter elderly local residents coming home from
their daily wet market pilgrimage.
The
prominence of art deco style in this part of town is still obvious, and though
it has faded in the older buildings, it shines brightly at the new Bellagio
Shanghai by MGM. Inside, other artistic flourishes will catch your eye — more
than 1,000 works curated from around the globe fill the grand property.
Opened in June
2018 as the first Bellagio outside of the United States, the hotel offers 162 sophisticated
rooms, world-class dining options and a lavish spa.
