The takeaway

Choose it for a design-conscious Shanghai stay that pairs a central Jing’an address with apartment-style space and a quieter, residential feel.

About the hotel

In Jing’an’s Dazhongli neighbourhood, Upper House Shanghai puts a substantial residential-style stay within reach of West Nanjing Road and central metro connections. The property comprises 111 guest rooms and 102 serviced apartments, with room types ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments. Italian architect Piero Lissoni’s interiors bring together porcelain, ceramic, bamboo and lacquered textures, while an eclectic art collection gives the calm, contemporary spaces a distinct Shanghai frame.

You value Lissoni-designed interiors that mix Italian design with Chinese materials and an art collection.
You need more room to spread out: the accommodation includes serviced apartments, including two-bedroom layouts.

Skip it if
