SHANGHAI A "Home From Home" for the fashionable and style-conscious crowd, JIA Shanghai follows the successful JIA Boutique Hotels concept from its first, designed by Philippe Starck, the JIA in Hong Kong.

 JIA Shanghai features 55 chic guestrooms and suites with private balconies. A host of special facilities cater to the most discerning of guests with every detail set to satisfy the most design-conscious traveler.

The mysteriously dark corridors open up to a cheerful and chic living area; the wood-paneled walls and dark timber floors give a sense of modern unhurried luxury; the spacious bathrooms feature specific motifs in luxuriously sensual tones.

The guestrooms are quietly theatrical, warm and sexy and its unique colour treatment give an element of surprise. Exquisite pieces of Chinese objects and furniture are combined with photographic art pieces by famed photographer Russel Wong. The lobby lounge captures guests with its relaxing dark-chocolate brown walls inviting private-residential ambience.
