About The Shanghai EDITION
- Punch Room is reservation-only; Electric Circus runs as the nightclub and VIP lounge a few floors from the Roof Garden.
- The 29th-floor Roof Garden is a landscaped English lawn with bowling, croquet, an under-the-stars movie theatre, and a bar, rare outdoor green in the dense core of central Shanghai.
- YONE on the 27th floor pairs chef Fumio Yonezawa, formerly chef de cuisine at Jean-Georges Tokyo, with mixologist Shingo Gokan of the SG Group.
History
The Shanghai EDITION opened in 2018 as part of Ian Schrager’s EDITION brand in partnership with Marriott International. The hotel occupies a prominent site on Nanjing Road East near The Bund and combines two separate towers with dramatic angled windows and expansive public areas. Michelin describes the property as cutting-edge and lively, noting the contribution of Neri & Hu and the hotel’s strong social-programming focus, while the brand emphasizes its rooftop, lounge, and dining-led experience. It stands out for blending contemporary luxury with a high-energy nightlife and dining mix in the heart of central Shanghai.
The setting
The Shanghai EDITION occupies the northeast corner of Nanjing Road East and Henan Road in Huangpu, one of Shanghai's most historically dense commercial addresses. This corridor has been central to the city's economic life since the late Qing era, and the Bund — eight minutes on foot — lines the Huangpu waterfront with twenty-six Neoclassical and Art Deco landmarks from the city's 1920s and 1930s financial prime. The Pudong skyline, dominated by the Oriental Pearl Tower and Shanghai Tower, is visible across the river, creating the defining Shanghai juxtaposition of colonial heritage and futurist ambition. 7-minute walk to Bund.
