Distinctive Charm, A Shanghai-Style Evening Ritual
Hyatt Centric Expo Shanghai Presents an Exclusive Shanghai-Style Evening Ritual
Hyatt Centric Expo Shanghai (in collaboration with Mumianhua) offers guests a bespoke evening ritual infused with classic Shanghai charm, held every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 18:28 in the first-floor lobby. As the lights dim and the melody of In the Mood for Love fills the air, cheongsam dancers transport guests back to the glamorous "Paris of the East." Just as attendees are immersed in this nostalgic reverie, the iconic tune Shanghai Nights evokes the breeze of the Huangpu River sweeping past the neon glow of the Paramount. The ritual culminates with all guests raising a glass of the hotel’s signature "Shanghai Specialty Cocktail" in a collective toast, officially ushering in the magic of a Shanghai night. This 15-minute performance is complimentary for in-house guests with no reservation required.
Ms. Tang Yahang, General Manager of Hyatt Centric Expo Shanghai, stated: "We aspire to position the hotel as an exquisite window to the cultural and artistic vitality of Pudong’s Expo Area. True luxury lies not in the accumulation of material goods, but in tangible spiritual experiences. Centered on Shanghai-style art and local intangible cultural heritage (ICH), we will curate a diverse array of on-site experiences, inviting every guest to flip through the pages of the city’s history and pen their own extraordinary stories during their stay."
Looking ahead, Hyatt Centric Expo Shanghai will continue to embody the concept of "New Shanghai-Style Art & Cultural Accommodation."
