Shanghai

New 27-room carbon-conscious hotel in Shanghai. "...Built within a former warehouse from recycled materials (old Shanghai bricks, reclaimed wood), [it] proves that ecology and style can co-exist. As to offset its Jetsons-style free-form furniture and sunken lounges, the hotel offers acupuncture, reflexology, and massage treatments as well as lessons in Chinese cooking, language and calligraphy." [Vogue]  Rates from $225.
