The house
Bulgari HotelsItalian glamour statement
Contemporary la dolce vita unfolds across dramatic high-ceilinged lounges, where aperitivi at Il Bar and rooftop cabanas overlook Shanghai’s neon skyline.
“The pool is a marvel. Natural light has been somehow directed down into the basement, to cast the pool in a gorgeous and serene emerald-green glow.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Sleek interiors pairing Navona travertine, matte black granite, bronze mesh screening, and custom Italian Maxalto furnishings.
Remarkable
Dedicated 24-hour butler service, bespoke fragrance gifts at evening turndown, and complimentary Berluti shoe shine.
Remarkable
A subterranean Roman bathhouse featuring a 25-meter columned pool, gold-tiled vitality pools, and personal training.
What they say
Also in Michelin, Forbes Travel Guide, Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
the Bulgari Hotel Shanghai scales near-unimaginable heights of luxury while remaining always impeccably tasteful — the work, once again, of the Italian architects Antonio Citterio and Patricia Viel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along the quiet banks of Suzhou Creek, the hotel sits in Jing'an just moments from the historic Bund waterfront.
The rooms
Rooms on the upper floors pair dark oak and Calacatta marble tables with silk wall panels framing panoramas of Pudong.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Roman columns and curtained cabanas line the 25-metre heated pool beneath an illuminated light well and slatted teak ceilings.
Vitality pool and sauna
Fan-mosaic vitality pools sit alongside timber-slatted saunas and rainforest experiential showers lined in green marble.
Spa and gym
Private suites host La Mer rituals and Chinese medicine therapies, alongside a gym equipped for personal training.
Restaurant
Il Ristorante – Niko Romito
Michelin-starred Italian dining by Niko Romito unfolds on the 47th floor under custom Murano glass chandeliers.
The interiors show off Bvlgari’s haute couture heritage. Every detail oozes elegance, from the dramatic swathes of black granite in the lobby to four-poster beds.
Il Bar
A sculptural titanium and bronze bar counter anchors the 47th floor lounge against panoramic views across the Bund.
At the table
In the 1916 Chamber of Commerce building, two-Michelin-starred Bao Li Xuan serves Cantonese cuisine under restored coffered ceilings.
How it began
The modern tower overlooks the restored 1916 neoclassical Chamber of Commerce building, which took eight years to meticulously revive.
“The high-ceilinged lobby projects effortless arthouse cool, with its leather-clad reception desks, shimmering bronze mesh walls, and monochrome photography conjuring Italian cinema’s Dolce Vita era.”
