This summer, let’s set aside profound history. Drawing inspiration from ancient Egyptian artifacts, we only use a single black cat to open a door to a wondrous world. Officially licensed by the British Museum, the Anderson Cat-themed rooms at Kimpton Qiantan Shanghai offer peaceful summer companionship, settled right along the riverside of Qiantan.
The Anderson Cat is modeled after an ancient Egyptian bronze cat statue housed in the British Museum. Its name and posture carry the symbolic meaning of protection dating back to a distant era. Reimagined through contemporary design, it takes shape as a round, approachable black feline figure. It bears the quiet depth of cultural relics while exuding gentle warmth, balancing historical gravitas with endearing charm. Guests are treated to a distinctive stay experience brimming with delight and aesthetic appeal.
This time, the hotel brings the Anderson Cat imagery into the guest rooms. The moment you open the door, the figure of the Anderson Cat gently comes into view: custom-themed bedding and throw pillows feature the cute cat holding a scepter, as if whispering "Good night, we each guard our own dreamland". The themed carpet stretches deep into the room, connecting the play zone and reading nook. Step barefoot onto it, and you step into an exclusive fairy-tale realm. Special kids’ amenities including tooth mugs, bathrobes and slippers are also provided, all subtly embroidered with the Anderson Cat pattern, showcasing thoughtful care in every tiny detail.
Step outside your room, and the joys of summer stretch far beyond the guest quarters. Head up to the hotel’s rooftop and sink into the refreshing infinity pool. Where water meets sky, soak in sweeping city vistas, feel the heartbeat of the metropolis, and embrace the lightness and clarity high above the urban bustle.
Right beside the hotel lies Qiantan Leisure Park, where a pink sand beach unfolds soft romantic hues amid lush greenery — ideal for leisurely afternoon strolls or children building sandcastles. The riverside promenade winds alongside the water, lined with swaying leafy trees and abundant foliage. Whether you cycle along its paths or jog beside the river, you’ll savor laid-back, carefree charm at every turn.
Long summer days stretch on, yet companionship can be wonderfully serene.
Here at Qiantan, the Anderson Cat awaits,
ready for a summer rendezvous.
It will grace your summer
with a touch of mystery and a dash of tenderness,
a whimsical moment to cherish and revisit time and again.
