Hotel Buzz: Andaz Shanghai

We've got the skinny on the newest Andaz property to hit the scene - the Andaz Shanghai, which will open its doors this summer. What's more, this will be the very first Andaz property in Asia.

The 307-room hotel will be comprised of 262 standard rooms as well as 45 suites, a restaurant, brasserie, bar, lounge, a spa and pool. We hear that the hotel will be situated in a buzzing section of the city, known as Xintiandi, which is home to restaurants, bars and boutiques.

Five Andaz hotels are currently open, including Andaz 5th Avenue and Andaz Wall Street in New York City, Andaz Liverpool Street in London, Andaz San Diego and Andaz West Hollywood.

In the pipeline are developments scheduled for Amsterdam; Delhi, Papagayo, Costa Rica; Sanya, China; Providenciales, Turks and Caicos Islands; and Wailea-Makena, Hawaii.
