Shanghai Hotels in China (8 others)

Shanghai has thrown on its Armani to strut on the global stage.

Shanghai is a scintillating city swirling with rapid cultural change. Since market restrictions were lifted, it has embraced the forces of business and design and rewritten its rule book shaping a fresh, new city that is sophisticated, innovative and living a life it has never lived before.

While it can't match the epic history of Beijing or Xi'an's grander sights, Shanghai is the hotspot of modern China; a cosmopolitan city buzzing with the concept of 'lifestyle revolution', showcased in the architectural temples of art, fine dining and contemporary urban living on the Bund.

2 Hip Hotels in Shanghai

How much detail do you want to see?

  1. JIA Hotel

    Shanghai, China

    Definitely the most cutting edge property to be added to the Shanghai hotel scene. JIA gives the city street cred in terms of overnight accommodation that it already has in spades in the art world. Set in a stunning 1920’s building in the heart of Shanghai, JIA offers a stylish yet informal environment for people who want to get away from convention and predictability.

    A dark sexy affair, the bar is on the ground floor just off the lobby, a cocktail joint in the new spirit of Shanghai. More like lofts than rooms, each guest apartment features a proper living area complete with slouch couch and coffee table, and the bathrooms are havens of mosaic chic.

    • The guest rooms are unusual not just in their balance between East and West, but also in that they manage to feel more like a funky apartment than a hotel room.
    • At 32m long the long bar is exactly what it says; one of the longest bars in Asia, dominated by a massive expanse of glass providing an engaging view over Jing An Park.
    • Jing An, the epicurean signature restaurant of PuLi is distinguished by two outstanding features, the expansive view over Jing An Park and the cuisine of Chef Dane Clouston.
