Shanghai's URBN Is Possibly The World's Most Sustainable Luxury Hotel 1

The URBN hotel in Shanghai is just like any other boutique hotel, but with a difference; it is made entirely from recycled materials. From old bricks for construction to suitcases and recycled floor boards as walls, the hotel, which was developed from a renovated factory warehouse, has been tastefully designed and is truly a remarkable example of a sustainable project that also scores well in the luxury aspect.
