Serviced Apartment Of The Month: IFC Residence

SERVICED APARTMENT OF THE MONTH: IFC Residence

A luxury serviced apartment complex nestled in the heart of the city’s business district and shopping mecca, Lujiazui; offers residents the unique opportunity to work, live, relax and play in the same development. Welcome home.

Living in Shanghai has never been as luxurious or convenient as this stately mansion-inspired residence. Accessed through large double doors via the IFC Shopping Mall or private, offroad entrance, residents are welcomed into the complex by relaxing piped music, a peaceful ambiance and polite staff; in complete contrast to the hustle and bustle of the “real world” a mere few metres beyond the walls.

Residents arrive at their apartments through a sequence of chambers including the library lounge, the terrace, overlooking Lujiazui Park, and an intimate living room complete with fireplace, adding to the homely feel of the already comfortable environment. Every single detail of the complex’s design oozes class and sophistication from the understated use of intricate materials and textures to the iconic crystal glass floor lamps and bespoke furniture. Key design highlights include the extensive use of hand-embroidered wall paneling in a palette of caramel yellow, solferino gold and olive green; as well as the residence’s commissioned sculpture collection by acclaimed artists, including Will Jamieson, David Williams Ellis, Kwang Ho Cheong and Lindy Lee.

An integrated component of Shanghai’s IFC complex, IFC Residence offers five-star accomodation and service while utilising Sun Hung Kai Properties’ reputation for developing the highest quality real estate in outstanding locations. Providing worldclass, equisitely designed and impeccably serviced acommodation, whilst taking to heart the needs of the busy executive with a hectic schedule, the expatriate new to town or the celebrity who requires a cosy, plush home at a moment’s notice, is what Sun Hung Kai Properties does best.

296 fully equipped apartments are on offer in the complex and are available in studio, one bedroom, one and a half bedroom, two bedroom, two and a half bedroom, three bedroom and sky mansion varieties. However, no matter the size, a subtle sense of grandeur emanates from each residence.

During leisure time, the 25-metre indoor, heated swimming pool, fully equipped gym and children’s area offer residents spectacular views across the Puxi and Pudong skylines. At the property, three outdoor terraces allow residents to enjoy luxurious urban living in the heart of Lujiazui while, at the same time, offer them the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors. Residents can utilise the terraces for entertaining their guests, relaxing or to just whiling away the hours watching the busy city from a relaxing vantage point. This leaves you, not with the difficulty of finding a place to relax in IFC Residence, but finding enough time to relax in every location.

Each residence includes all standard amenities, including a fully-equipped kitchen, Seimens washing machine and dryer, home entertainment system and a rainforest shower and bathtub with a built in TV.

Finally, the 24 hour reception along with optional daily continental breakfast served in the downstairs living room or in-room dining with the Ritz-Carlton, add to the sense of warmth, intimacy and stately living experience at IFC Residence.
