Legendary Room Nicolas Anelka #9
The Legendary Room inspired by Nicolas Anelka at Novotel Shanghai Hongqiao brings the electrifying journey of the PSG icon to life. Step into a one-of-a-kind space that celebrates the career of a striker whose speed, precision, and power left an indelible mark on football.
Nicolas Anelka has a deep connection to both Paris and Shanghai. Trained at the Paris Saint-Germain’s youth academy, he played 69 matches for the Club.
Later in his career, he made headlines in China by joining Shanghai’s top football Club as both a player and coach, in one of the most high-profile transfers in Chinese football history. His remarkable journey across these two cities made him the perfect fit for this Novotel Legendary Room in Shanghai.
“It’s an honour to see a part of my journey with PSG and Shanghai celebrated in this room. Every detail has been carefully designed to reflect my career, my memories, and the spirit of the Club. I hope visitors will feel this unique connection and experience a true immersion into the world of PSG,” said Nicolas Anelka.
Legendary Room Javier Pastore #27
The Legendary Room inspired by Javier Pastore at Novotel Jakarta Cikini immerses guests in the magic of PSG that celebrates the elegance of ‘El Flaco’, a football artist renowned for his exceptional vision and skill.
During his seven seasons at PSG, Pastore was named Player of the Month three times, selected to the Ligue 1 Team of the Year, and awarded Best Player of the League in 2015. The Argentine international scored 45 goals and provided 56 assists in 269 matches wearing the Red & Blue shirt. He has won five championships, five League Cups, four Trophées des Champions, and four French Cups during his time in Paris.
The Legendary Room in Jakarta features pop art-inspired headboards with Pastore’s portrait, a vintage framed photograph, and a signed football jersey. A custom-designed carpet, themed cushions and bed linens, and window decal celebrate the magic of Paris. The space also showcases signed memorabilia, such as boots and a ball in a protective display, and a PSG-inspired lamp, bringing the energy of the stadium into the room.
More Legendary Rooms are expected to be unveiled at Novotel hotels around the world.
