Regent Hotels & Resorts perfectly encapsulates the essence of modern luxury and continues to redefine boundaries with innovative concepts and excellent design.

Following its debut in the Greater China market last year, the second season of Regent Taste Studio has graced the doors of Regent Shanghai on The Bund. With the theme ‘The Magic of Beauty of Contrast’, this edition features five meticulously crafted chapters, bringing together four talented chefs from Shanghai and Chongqing to captivate guests at Regent Shanghai on The Bund from October 28 to November 12.

Rita Jiang, Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, IHG Greater China, said: “Regent has always been committed to providing guests with luxury experiences that exceed expectations through innovative thinking. Our Regent Taste Studio is the embodiment of this pioneering spirit, integrating art, performance, music, design and fashion inspirations to transcend the limitations of traditional cuisine through a fully immersive, luxurious, and multisensorial experience. This year, we’re striving for excellence in multiple dimensions. Firstly, we are expanding the Regent Taste Studio period with more seatings, allowing more food lovers experience this pop-up activation. Furthermore, we have cleverly leveraged and optimized the existing layout and space of hotel restaurants, lightening the construction to ensure smooth hotel operations even in a longer activation period.”

Regent Taste Studio represents an inventive new avenue of unexpected collaboration to provide guests with an ambitious dining experience featuring elements of interactive pop-up art. The second season presents ‘The Magic of Beauty of Contrast’, drawing inspiration from the stained-glass artwork of Regent Shanghai on The Bund. By teaming up with an eclectic roster of artists ranging from modern dance and experimental music to glassmaking and digital multimedia, the theme eloquently interprets five chapters: ‘Revive to Life ‘, ‘Elevate Above the Sea’, ‘Melody of Food’, ‘Where Time Can Not Find Us’ and ‘Timeless Uplifting’ in the light and shadow digital interactive art. An out-of-this-world atmosphere awaits diners as they find themselves surrounded by visual lighting and sound effects to savour the ‘Beauty of Contrast’ that defines the Regent.
