Bulgari Hotel, Shanghai
More photosThe Bulgari Hotel Shanghai is a masterful blend of Italian elegance and Chinese history, located along the scenic banks of Suzhou Creek. The property features a contemporary 48-story tower that sits alongside the beautifully restored Chamber of Commerce building, a landmark dating back to 1916. The architectural firm Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel spent eight years meticulously renovating this heritage site, ensuring the hotel feels like a seamless bridge between Shanghai’s glamorous past and its modern future.
The interiors are a testament to refined luxury, defined by a sophisticated palette of matte black granite, Navona travertine, and polished teak. Every detail, from the bronze accents to the custom-made Italian furniture, reflects the brand’s jewelry-making heritage. A standout feature is the subterranean spa, which transports guests to an ancient Roman bathhouse complete with a stunning 25-meter swimming pool lined with gold-hued tiles.
Guests at the hotel are treated to some of the most enviable views in the city. The rooftop lounge, La Terrazza, offers a 360-degree panorama of the iconic Bund and the futuristic Pudong skyline, making it the perfect spot for an evening cocktail.
Its location in the Suhewan area is ideal for culture seekers. You are just minutes away from the historic Bund waterfront and a short drive from the fashion boutiques of Nanjing Road and the museums surrounding People’s Square. Whether you are exploring the city’s artistic side or simply enjoying the tranquil private gardens on the property, it provides an exceptionally polished retreat in a fast-paced metropolis.
Expert reviews
“Bulgari stands out for its ability to channel the city vibe without losing a sense of the brand’s Italian DNA. An immaculately choreographed tussle between Italian and Chinese design is enacted in marble and bronze versus silk and lacquer.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s Best New Hotels of 2019.
“The Roman jewelry brand’s 48-story Bulgari Hotel Shanghai is a gem, set inside the immaculately restored Shanghai Chamber of Commerce building — complete with a red-brick facade, verandas and imposing columns.”

Kevin’s Old House, Shanghai
Kevin’s Old House is an intimate, charming guesthouse tucked away on Changle Road in the heart of Shanghai’s historic French Concession. Unlike the city’s massive skyscrapers, this small property feels like a well-kept secret. Occupying a traditional mansion, it offers a nostalgic escape where the décor leans into classic European-inspired elegance and vintage Chinese motifs, making it feel less like a hotel and more like stepping back into the 1930s.
Lonely Planet“Housed in a secluded 1927 four-storey French Concession villa, this lovely, quiet place is run by a friendly, English-speaking owner. Six spacious suites are spread throughout the house. Suite 328 is the pick of the bunch.”
Pentahotel, Shanghai
Located in the vibrant Changning District, the former Pentahotel Shanghai occupies a prime spot right next to the lush Zhongshan Park. This property has undergone a significant transformation and is now known as the Hyatt Centric Zhongshan Park Shanghai. Its history is tied to the evolution of the area, serving as a convenient hub for both business travelers and tourists since it first opened its doors in 2008.
CNN“All 250 rooms at Pentahotel are fitted out in a minimalistic style with views over downtown residential buildings. The hotel is near three metro lines.”
Park Hyatt Hotel, Shanghai
Park Hyatt Shanghai is a sky-high sanctuary occupying the 79th to 93rd floors of the Shanghai World Financial Centre, one of the city’s most iconic skyscrapers. Designed by the renowned New York-based architect Tony Chi, the hotel was envisioned as a sophisticated modern Chinese residence. It masterfully balances minimalist aesthetics with an earthy, warm color palette, utilizing rich woods and stone to create a tranquil escape far above the bustling Lujiazui financial district.
CNN + 1 more“The Park Hyatt provides the best angle to view Shanghai: from the top. Occupying the upper part of the 492-meter Shanghai World Financial Center, all 174 rooms enjoy stunning vistas overlooking Lujiazui high-rises, the Huangpu River or the Puxi downtown area.”
Capella Jian Ye Li, Shanghai
Capella Jian Ye Li is a rare and exquisite urban sanctuary tucked away in Shanghai’s Xuhui District. It is the city’s only all-villa hotel housed within a historic cluster of shikumen—traditional "stone gate" townhouses that define the city’s architectural heritage. Originally built in the 1930s, this complex has been masterfully restored to preserve its original red-brick charm while integrating modern luxury, effectively protecting a fading piece of Shanghai’s cultural history.
New York Times + 2 more“The long-awaited Capella Shanghai, the Singapore-based luxury chain’s first China property, opened in September in a restored Shanghai shikumen lane complex originally built for French traders in the 1930s. The property features 55 villas set in three-story traditional houses with private courtyards and rooftop balconies.”
