BVLGARI HOTEL SHANGHAI ITALIAN GLAMOUR

INTEGRATION OF ITALIAN STYLE AND CONTEMPORARY GLAMOUR

The Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai is located on the banks of Suhe Creek with a rich historical and cultural background. It has a delicate balance of pleasant natural landscapes, contemporary design, and classic historical architecture. The historic building, the former Chamber of Commerce Shanghai, has been renovated and integrated with the Bvlgari tower, which is surrounded by abundant natural scenery, to form Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai.

The Former Chamber of Commerce Shanghai

Balancing nature, contemporary design and heritage architecture, the property combines a 48-floor tower, a majestically restored Chamber of Commerce Shanghai building dating from 1916 and lush gardens which surround the whole area. The hotel occupies the top 8 floors of the Tower offering stunning views of the iconic Bund, the sky towers of Pudong’s financial district and the dramatic curvature of Huangpu River and Suzhou Creek. The lower floors are occupied by The Bvlgari Residences. As they did for the other Bvlgari properties, the renowned Italian architectural firm ‘ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel,’ signed this hotel’s design and created a glamorous contemporary masterpiece blending the distinctive Italian refinement of Bvlgari with rich layers of Shanghai history. 

Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai

Adjacent to the hotel tower, the historic former Chamber of Commerce Shanghai, built in 1916 and completely restored to evoke memories of its glorious past, houses a glamorous 500 square meter Bvlgari Ballroom with double-height ceilings, the haute-cuisine Chinese restaurant Bao Li Xuan and The Whisky Bar. 

Bao Li Xuan Chinese Restaurant

Bao Li Xuan serves exquisite Cantonese classics and local Shanghainese specialties, while the sophisticated Whisky Bar located on the same floor presents an extensive collection of premium whiskies and spirits to be tasted in a warm and distiguished athmosphere akin to a member’s club. Built in Neoclassical Renaissance style, the statuesque landmark forms a serendipitous connection to Bvlgari’s Roman roots and pairs up with a beautiful archway gate from 1920, used as VIPs entrance. 

Bvlgari Hotel Shanghai is home to six signature-dining options located both in the hotel tower and in the adjacent historic former Chamber of Commerce Shanghai. The Italian Il Ristorante-Niko Romito is curated by chef Niko Romito, one of the world’s most celebrated chefs with three Michelin stars for his Reale restaurant in Abruzzo and presents a carefully curated canon of contemporary Italian cooking in a seductive 47th floor restaurant overlooking the city lights. At the same floor, The Bvlgari Bar with its iconic oval counter is the place to be for sophisticated sipping and socialising, while the 

La Terrazza on the rooftop offers an Italian style informal menu with spellbinding views of Shanghai’s skyline. 

Il Ristorante – Niko Romito

On the ground floor, China’s first Bvlgari chocolate boutique Bvlgari Dolci invites guests to indulge in a luxury sweet treat while the refined ambiance of the Lobby Lounge, where a menu of afternoon tea and aperitivo is available, opens up to Bvlgari Dolci, an enchanting outdoor space which welcomes guests with a selection of wines and Italian gelato. Also on the ground floor, a Bvlgari jewellery store displays the brand’s finest creations. 

Enjoying an exclusive setting amid private gardens, historic buildings and art galleries, the hotel is just three minutes’ drive from the iconic Bund. The chic fashion boutiques of Nanjing Road, known as ‘Shanghai’s Fifth Avenue,’ and the famous museums and theatres of People’s Square are just minutes away.

La Terrazza

The hotel’s 82 exquisitely crafted guestrooms, including 19 suites which crown the top eight floors of the 48-floor tower, have an average size of over 60 square meters, among the most spacious in the city. Guests experience the exceptional comfort of modern Italian furnishings custom-made by revered Italian brands such as Maxalto, Flos and Flexform, along with state-of-the-art technology which creates a warm residential ambience. Accessed via a private lift, the exceptional 400 square meter Bvlgari Suite offers sweeping views of the Shanghai cityscape and can be extended to create a 570 square meter three-bedroom residence by connecting it with an adjoining suite. 

The Bvlgari Spa

The hotel’s 2,000-square-meter The Bvlgari Spa and fitness center is a harmonious retreat to balance the body, mind, and spirit in elegant Italian style. The Bvlgari Spa offers eight spa treatment rooms, sauna and relaxation rooms, and a 25-meter heated indoor pool and vitality pools.
