Shanghai, China · Alila · High Luxury
Four Seasons left this Jing'an tower; Alila returned it in September 2024 as the brand's first urban house in Greater China. Designer Ju Bin cut the keys from more than four hundred to 186 and opened a glass courtyard around a ceramic tree on the fourth floor. Chef Scott Bao's 500 Weihai Road cooks contemporary Shanghainese seafood at the hotel's own address, looking toward the restored shikumen lanes of Zhangyuan.
- 186 rooms
- Opened 2024
- Neighborhood: People's Square / East Nanjing Road

About Alila Shanghai

History
The Jing'an tower operated as Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai (Puxi) from 2007 until the flag left in 2023. A multi-year gut renovation by Ju Bin of Horizontal Design reduced the inventory from well over four hundred keys in the Four Seasons years to 186 rooms and suites, of which 94 are suites, with part of the mixed-use building given over to retail. Alila Shanghai opened 25 September 2024 at 500 Weihai Road as Hyatt's first urban Alila in Greater China, with a rooftop organic garden feeding the kitchens.
