Designed by MoHen Design International, Hotel Kassel Grimm, a 16-room hotel captures, in its interior design, the area's metropolitan, dreamy and speedy spirit. Since it focuses on its market mainly on the car racing players, the design concept somehow makes sense.

Words from MoHen Design International

"Shanghai might be the most disordered but eye-catching city in the world at present because of the fast economic growth of China. The whole city is like a huge construction site full of chaos. However, you also might see something interesting while you are walking along the street and make you stop to take a good look at it. Some people might hate it but some might be crazy for its oriental and western, new and old appearance. It's such a weird place that would make people easily associate it with New York City."

"Anting, where the hotel Kassel Grimm is located, is a car-manufacturing district. It's also a place where formula one car racing is held. This 16-room hotel captures, in its interior design, the area's metropolitan, dreamy and speedy spirit. Since it focuses on its market mainly on the car racing players, the design concept somehow makes sense. The settings were conceived as flexible spaces that would be more than just a place to sleep, reinventing the idea of accommodation for the select clientele."

"The public areas (lobby, hallway, 2 bars and 1 cafe) are full of colors with dreamy and funky-chic ambient. The color emanates not from materials themselves but from the lighting. Light combines with transparency and with varying levels of penetration makes the hotel visually arresting."
