JIA Shanghai opens
SHANGHAI – JIA Shanghai recently opened in Shanghai as the city’s first true design-led boutique residence concept.
With its prime, central location in a 1920s building on the corner of Nanjing Road and Tai Xing Road, JIA Shanghai marks the first of several more boutique concepts planned in the region.
The hotel has 55 chic guestrooms and suites, some with private balconies, and a host of special facilities for the most discerning travellers. There is also a techno gym and business centre. A signature Italian restaurant will open later this year.
The lobby is one of the hotel’s unique features. It exudes a feel of “Eclectic China” with a “Cascade” installation set in a two-storey space where haute heritage birdcages are suspended from the ceiling above an undulating Chinese black lacquered sculpture.

JIA Boutique Hotels also owns the JIA Hong Kong and restaurants that include OPIA in JIA Hong Kong, and Graze and Muse Bar in Singapore.
JIA’s Singaporean founder and owner, Yenn Wong, said with the opening of JIA Shanghai “… we will be expanding further with more new hotel, residence and restaurant projects in Asia soon to be announced.”
