Bulgari Hotel Shanghai

★ 4.9$$$$Luxury

Opened in 2018, the Bulgari is the height of contemporary luxury in Shanghai's Jing'an District, occupying a jewel-box tower adjacent to a beautifully restored 1934 heritage villa. The intimate 82-room hotel features the acclaimed Il Ristorante by Niko Romito and a breathtaking rooftop pool.

The Bulgari Hotel Shanghai opened in 2018 in the Jing'an District at 33 North Suzhou Road, positioned in a purpose-built contemporary tower that stands alongside a beautifully restored 1934 Art Deco villa on the banks of Suzhou Creek. The property is one of only a handful of Bulgari Hotels worldwide and is regarded as the most intimate and design-forward luxury address in Shanghai. The Jing'an area provides proximity to Jing'an Temple metro station (Lines 2 and 7, approximately a 10-minute walk), the Jing'an Kerry Centre, and the cultural streetscapes of the Former French Concession. With 82 rooms, the hotel operates at a boutique scale that enables a level of personalization unusual among Shanghai luxury properties.

The tower and villa together create a dual-identity property: the contemporary tower hosts the primary guest rooms and suites in Bulgari's signature design language of onyx, ebony, marble, and gold leaf accents, while the restored villa contains private dining rooms, the Bulgari Bar, and the branded boutique. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, many looking directly over Suzhou Creek or toward the Jing'an skyline. The 12 suites include Garden Suites with private terraces and a Presidential Suite with panoramic city views.

Dining centers on Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the Michelin-recognized Italian chef's concept offering contemporary Roman cuisine interpreted with Chinese seasonal ingredients. The villa houses the Bulgari Bar for aperitivo and cocktails in an intimate setting, and La Dolce Vita serves casual poolside Italian fare. Breakfast is a refined affair with an extensive à la carte menu.

The rooftop infinity pool on the 36th floor is one of Shanghai's most photographed, with views over the Jing'an skyline toward the Huangpu River. The Bulgari Spa operates five treatment rooms and a thermal suite, with treatments developed exclusively for Bulgari properties. A private cinema accommodating up to 18 guests is the only hotel cinema of its kind in Shanghai. The fitness center features TECHNOGYM equipment and personal training services.
