On 30 October 2025 Thompson Hotels opened their first house in Asia: a curved glass tower by Goettsch Partners at 1399 Shibo Avenue, 254 rooms on the old Expo grounds beside the Huangpu. SilverFox Studios in Singapore shaped the interiors like a pavilion inside a pavilion, with the district's industrial steel left in view. Fishermen's Pavilion cooks on the 19th floor. TOTS takes the 20th-floor roof.

About Thompson Shanghai Expo, by Hyatt
- The tower sits in Expo Place, a short walk from the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the China Art Museum, and the old Expo convention center, with the Expo Culture Park just beyond.
- Thompson Hall, the ballroom, covers 1,100 square meters under a 7.2-meter ceiling and can hold about 1,150 people. A second room, The Oval, is an ellipse in steel.
