# Whimsical Urban Hotel Extensions Neri&Hu Complete the Artyzen New Bund 31 Hotel Design By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-24 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artyzen-new-bund-31 References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/10/23/nerihu-artyzen-hotel-shanghai/)  Chinese design firm [Neri&Hu](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-bund-performing-arts-centre) has completed the design of the Artyzen New Bund 31 hotel located in Shanghai. It is right by the New Bund Performing Arts Center -- also designed by the same studio. The hotel is in the Pudong district and is a part of a larger development project known as Qiantan comprised of an office and shopping center. Neri&Hu speak about the design behind the space, sharing "The hotel is envisioned as an [urban oasis](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-standard-singapore) that takes its guests on a journey of surprise and discovery. With an abundance of outdoor landscape spaces, Artyzen Qiantan offers a rare experience in an [urban hotel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pulso-hotel), a sense of respite and escape from the bustling city of Shanghai."
