Joining The Peninsula Hotels’ signature collection of exquisite 1930s Shanghainese Art Deco-inspired bars and lounges is Salon de Ning at The Peninsula Manila, set to open this December 3rd, 2010.
Inspired by an elegant private residence from a bygone era, Salon de Ning will be a clubby lounge reflecting the glamorous lifestyle of Madame Ning, a celebrated Shanghai socialite, bon vivant, world traveller and international hostess.

Upon arrival at Salon de Ning, guests will be greeted by a hostess in an elegant oriental dress, and led to the main lounge with a DJ booth and stage for the resident band.
Surrounding the main lounge will be four themed rooms decorated with Madame Ning’s intriguing collection of objets and items displaying her varied interests and pursuits.
The first room, “Le Boxing Room," will be a shrine to 1937 World Heavyweight Champion Joe Louis (who was rumored to have been madly in love with her).

The second room—the “Shoe Room”—with its collection of over a hundred boots, stilletos and sandals, will be her homage to shoemakers who transform ordinary footwear into works of wearable art.
Other themed rooms are the “Zeppelin Room” and “Shanghai”.
The former is inspired by her long friendship with the German Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin who pioneered the design of the first rigid airships the world had ever seen.

“Shanghai” will be a recreation of her mansion along the Bund—enticing dark wood interiors, oriental rugs, while Art Deco touches and sepia photographs line the walls.
It will be a stylish mélange of East meets West, the glamour and style of 1930s Shanghai—the “Paris of the East”.
A range of cocktails will be made available at Salon de Ning, including the signature “Ning Sling," a refreshing combination featuring Absolut Mandarin and lychee liqueur, garnished with mint leaves and a lychee.

Fans of bubbly will love Salon de Ning Rosé Champagne, an exclusive label created by Deutz of France for The Peninsula Hotels. A simple, light Asian-inspired menu will also be available.
Salon de Ning was designed by Henry Leung, the Hong Kong-based Design Director of Chhada, Siembieda Leung Limited, who has created several Chinese heritage projects for The Peninsula Hotels.
