Formerly the news room where the Shanghai Club members read their papers, catch up over the latest news and smoke a pipe, Salon de Ville is now one of the more ‘feminine’ areas of the Waldorf Astoria Club heritage building, with clusters of traditional sofa seating and traditional china cabinets. The color scheme in Salon de Ville is more cheerful and vivid, with cabernet tones accented with gold, brown and some green.Salon de Ville is the ideal spot for guests to enjoy coffee, the Red Velvet Afternoon Tea that features the famous red velvet cupcake and a series of variations or a glass of Champagne with friends. And true to its new-found name, guests can comfortably relax with famous views of the city – Pudong and the Bund.
