Hyatt Hotels Corporation is introducing its Alila brand to Shanghai with the opening of Alila Shanghai this month marking the brand’s first urban resort in China. Located on Weihai Road in Jing’an District, the hotel features 186 rooms, including 94 suites, designed with elements of Shanghai’s cultural heritage. Alila Shanghai is notable for its commitment to sustainability, being the first hotel in China to use the Nordaq water bottling system, which replaces plastic bottles with reusable glass containers, and repurposing coffee grounds for compost. The hotel offers a variety of dining options, including Shanghainese and Japanese cuisine, and incorporates traditional Shanghainese design elements in its architecture.
