The Waterhouse (源舍), Shanghai

#shanghaionbudget The Waterhouse (源舍) in Shanghai is a boutique hotel and design landmark that blends industrial history with cutting-edge style. Housed in a converted 1930s warehouse by the South Bund, it’s known for its raw concrete textures, exposed steel, and minimalist-modern interiors. More than just a stay, it’s an experience — from the rooftop views of the Huangpu River to the carefully curated rooms that highlight contrast and character. The ground floor café and restaurant offer stylish spaces to unwind with coffee, cocktails, or a quiet meal. If you’re into architecture, design, and unique stays, The Waterhouse is a hidden gem that speaks to both Shanghai’s past and future.
