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 design was gorgeous and unique yet still very comfortable
Very well located
Room was HUGE and so stylish
Staff extremeley helpful
Compoared to other hotels I've stayed in great value for money
What the hotel could do better:
The breakfast buffet had marshmellows and gummy bears which was cute but not a real breakfast food! (Although I don't really eat breakfast)
One of the bars recommended by them on the email I received had closed-they need to watch this.
Overall though a totally fab place to stay!!

The warm homely feeling and clean and artistic decor
What the hotel could do better:
could have informed us that some areas were under rennovation. we arrived there with high expectations and were bummed to see some parts boarded up.
