The sequel to the Philippe Starck-designed JIA Hong Kong is a new direction for a successful franchise. JIA Shanghai is more a luxury-residence concept, at least in the design, courtesy of the Australian firm Hecker Phelan & Guthrie — it’s a fully serviced boutique hotel, just like its sister in Hong Kong, but with perhaps a bit more of a discreet apartment-house atmosphere.
It’s located in a well-preserved Twenties apartment building, a subdued exterior for a contemporary-design boutique. And inside it edges closer to design-magazine luxe, with bold graphic color schemes, an impressive collection of modern furnishings, and bathrooms decked out in marble and Bisazza mosaic tile. Rooms and suites are bright and sunny, especially those with balconies, and all come with entertainment centers, and free wireless internet, as well as a smattering of local color in the form of Chinese antiques.
You’re by no means obligated to fend for yourself in that kitchenette — the second-floor Italian restaurant is helmed by Salvatore Cuomo, one of Japan’s (and now China’s) celebrity Italian chefs. And the location, just off the Nanjing Road, places you in close proximity to any number more, as well as most of Shanghai’s best shopping.

What I liked:
The overall atmosphere is nicely crafted and, as the name suggests, feels more residential than your typical city hotel. There is a sense of privacy and solitude in one of the main centers of Shanghai. A nice place for an extended stay.
What the hotel could do better:
Our room was a bit dark during the day, even with the curtains drawn open.

What I liked:
The location is excellent, very central to a main shopping district and the offices where I do business.
Staff are very helpful and discreet, perfect English.
Checkin on the 3rd or 4th floor, along with guest lobby, mean that you feel sheltered and rested in the common spaces.
The rooms are very beautifully appointed, excellent large overhead showers and amazing style in the bathrooms. The style of the rooms is unique, not your usual boutique blah, modern with saturated color accents. Very comfortable and restful bed. Great little amenities like tea, treats, in the room.
The included breakfast at the Italian hotel restaurant includes a few courses with a made to order main course that is exceptional, my favorite in hotel breakfast in all of Asia.
This hotel has become "home" in Shanghai, I always stay here when I visit!
