Hyatt Hotels has announced the opening of Alila Shanghai in the city’s Jing’an area. The property overlooks and provides private access to Zhangyuan, a complex of restored shikumen stone-gate townhouses that have been transformed into luxury retail spaces.
The Lobby on Level 4 has a series of open areas and walkways surrounding a small lake. Alila Shanghai offers 186 guestrooms, including 94 suites. Entry-level rooms measure 419 square feet and feature a lounge space, a walk-in wardrobe, a bar nook, and a dressing table area. The 2,626-square-foot Penthouse Suite King is located on the 37th floor and offers views of the cityscape.
Helmed by Executive Chef Chuck Xing, the four F&B concepts at Alila Shanghai offer a variety of wellness-oriented culinary experiences. The property’s flagship Chinese restaurant, 500 Weihai Road, offers plant-forward dishes from vegetables found in the hotel’s garden as well as modern cuisine with a focus on seafood. Garden Pavilion, the hotel’s all-day dining space, is built around a Japanese maple tree. At breakfast, instead of the usual buffet, guests can choose from curated sets featuring Chinese, Japanese, Western or “healthy options,” reducing food waste and encouraging mindful eating. Consisting of a series of residential-style living spaces, Chayan @ 5th offers afternoon tea. At Secret Roof bar, guests can have organic coffee and snacks by day and cocktails by sunset, along with views over the historical Zhangyuan rooftops.
Spa Alila features five treatment rooms, a Turkish bath and a relaxation space. Guests will also have access to daily fitness facilities, an individual yoga room, and programming designed to connect guests with Shanghai’s cultural heritage through collaborations with local artisans.
The hotel offers 3,282 square feet of meeting and event space, including an open-air terrace and five function rooms.
In celebration of the debut of the first urban resort-style hotel in Greater China, World of Hyatt is offering members the opportunity to earn 500 bonus points for qualifying nights at Alila Shanghai from September 25, 2024, to December 31, 2024.
