Shanghai Docent

The name Pudi is a clever play on words: Chinese for boutique but the Chinese characters mean rough jade - or in the Western sense "diamond in the rough". Behind the hard-to-find doors, you'll discover a dark, private place to escape the cacophony of street-side Shanghai. Focusing on privacy, art and service, Pudi prides itself on its 24/7 butlers. Rooms are comfortable, especially if you're in town for a short business stay.
