Recently, I saw a lot of mixed reviews about Alila Hotels online. I was curious and had the chance to visit one. The entrance was so low-key that I almost missed it. It blended in with the surrounding buildings, and you couldn't tell it was a luxury hotel. The parking lot was quite large, and it felt like entering a secret place, not a high-end hotel. The lobby was also low-key, and my first impression was "quiet" and "comfortable." What attracted me most was the hotel's design, especially the pool from the lobby to the rooftop. It reminded me of other hotels with tasteful designs. The details showed the designer's effort. For example, the L floor on the roof was the hotel's core, with many restaurants and bars. The lighting and furniture were tasteful, with many mirrors. It looked fine during the day, but at night, the atmosphere became lively, especially with many people around. Outside, despite the cold winter, many young people sat outside, drinking and chatting. The open-air atmosphere was unique. Once the surrounding garden is completed, the rooftop view will be even better, making it enjoyable to drink and enjoy the scenery. Overall, Alila's design surprised me. It wasn't luxurious but low-key and exquisite, with a sense of taste. The designer put a lot of thought into the details. It felt more like a lifestyle expression than just a hotel. It was exquisite but not oppressive, making people feel relaxed. However, Alila's design may not suit everyone. If you like luxurious hotels, you might find it "too low-key." But if you like quiet, comfortable, and cultural places, this will impress you. Overall, I think it's worth a try, especially for those who appreciate details and atmosphere.

As Christmas approaches, Christmas trees in hotels in Shanghai are also appearing one after another. Yesterday, I had lunch near Nanjing West Road and went to Alila to take pictures of the Christmas tree. The Alila Christmas tree is on the L floor, the floor where you have afternoon tea. The purple Christmas tree is reflected in the shimmering water, and it is so beautiful that I am speechless. It will probably look better when the lights are on at night. Next time, I will ask my best friend to come to the bar for a drink and take pictures at night.

First time staying at Alila Shanghai and I love it 🔋 I have to admit that Ju Bin is a master of creating spatial atmosphere. A PuLi fan staying at Alila Another resort hotel in Shanghai. This is my first time staying at the Alila series, and I naturally compare it with the nearby PuLi, Middle House, and Sukhothai. I like Alila's tea room, which is a good place to rest or chat with friends. I like the taste of the dozen books on the bookshelf in the Alila room, all of which are related to Chinese aesthetics and lifestyle. I like the night ceremony at the open-air bar from 6-7 pm every day, with free drinks and snacks. What I don't like is that the basic king room is smaller than expected, and the Shikumen view is actually the Zhang Garden construction site, which is a bit noisy on weekend mornings. The hotel's movement and scale experience is a bit strange, and the light box design elements everywhere seem a bit showy and redundant. Unfortunately, I have a soft spot for PuLi, and Alila always lacks something to hit the heart.

There is only one word difference between A (Lee) Shanghai and Ala Shanghai. I wonder if this is purely a coincidence, or does the investor have ulterior motives when selecting the brand? Alila means "surprise" in Sanskrit. This is the first Alila brand hotel in Shanghai and the first urban resort Alila hotel in China. The hotel is positioned to be located in a bustling city, yet still amidst the bustle. It inherits the concept of "being in nature and seeing scenery everywhere" in the center of the city, and uses the concept of Jiangnan gardens as a whole to create a place of rest that is secluded from the world. While being in the city, one feels attracted to nature, and the hustle and bustle of the world does not disturb the peace of mind - "a paradise in the city." As the first urban tranquility Alila in Shanghai, the hotel integrates the agility and freshness of nature into the bustling city through the selection of materials, colors and spatial layout in terms of interior and exterior design concepts, and blends the delicacy and sophistication of Jiangnan gardens into modernity. Here, create a new Alila brand experience in an urban tranquil environment. Relying on the cultural heritage and urban temperament of the area, we refine and polish a unique and charming style, coupled with Alila's fresh and natural brand characteristics, unique artistic senses and personalized service experience, to create a vivid and diverse environment. Neighborhoods are infused with a different kind of charm and connotation.

| A hidden paradise in the concrete jungle. 💖 At Alila Shanghai, experience the romance of the city and nature. 🥰 I've always heard that Alila Shanghai is the first urban resort Alila hotel in Greater China, and I finally had the chance to experience it. It truly lives up to its reputation! 📍 The hotel is located at the intersection of Weihai Road and Shimen 1st Road, with convenient transportation. There are also popular attractions like Zhangyuan and Fengshengli nearby. 🚇 Entering the hotel feels like stepping into a secluded paradise, in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle outside. 😌 🛏️ The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with an elegant and tasteful decor. The room is also equipped with a meditation kit, allowing you to relax with a meditation session before bed, bringing a sense of calm. 😴 The hotel also offers a selection of up to ten different pillows, which is very thoughtful. 👍 🥂 Dining is a highlight at Alila Shanghai. The four dining venues each have their own unique features, catering to those who enjoy Chinese, Japanese, or Western cuisine. 🍱 I particularly like the bar "Secretroof," where you can enjoy the night view of Shanghai while sipping on cocktails made with fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, creating a great atmosphere. 🌃 🧖‍♀️ The spa is also a must-visit. Alila's signature spa treatments provide a thorough relaxation in a comfortable environment. After the treatment, my skin felt smoother and more delicate. 🤗

I was on a business trip to Shanghai this week, so I came to check out the newly opened Alila Hotel. I booked a classic suite, and the view from the high floor was great. Since it is an old building that has been renovated, the floor height is much lower than that of a newly built hotel. However, I really like the color scheme of the guest room. The warm wood finishes and beige art paint create a tranquil living space, and the colorful paintings on the walls add a touch of playfulness. The public area of the hotel is not large, so it is quite private when there are few people, but it can feel crowded when there are many people. The restaurant and main activity spaces are all located on the L floor (4th floor), which is also the floor where you check in. I really like the hotel's lounge called Cha Yan. The suite includes afternoon tea and evening happy hour cocktails, which can be enjoyed here. It is like a large living room, perfect for chatting with friends. You can also sit outside when the weather is nice. The service, which I care about the most, was quite good during my stay today. Let's see if they can maintain a stable standard in the future.

Shanghai's new favorite hotel, Alila Shanghai's Alila 2024 new hotel first experience Alila, as a high-end resort series under the Hyatt Hotel Group, opened a city resort hotel in Shanghai for the first time. I had a good experience after it opened on September 25. Although the location is not as good as the Huangpu River view hotels, it is located on Nanjing West Road and was transformed from the original Puxi Four Seasons. There are business districts such as Zhangyuan behind it. It is not far from the main business district. The overall price/performance ratio after opening is really better than many hotels. Alila is new The overall facilities and design are not overturned. The design is done by Teacher Ju Bin. The overall public area is set up, and the layout and decoration style of the room are very warm, simple and have a sense of layout. The hardware facilities from the bathroom to the supplies are all up to standard! ?Let's talk about what I think needs to be improved The overall service needs a lot of polishing in the early stage of opening. From check-in to doorman, there are some bumps in many businesses that are not very proficient. Although I feel enthusiastic, the effect of dealing with problems is average. In terms of hotel layout, the takeaway rack has no specific logo and needs to be found from the room. The hotel has a high floor, but the glass insulation is slightly poor. The internal restaurants and cafes are doing well in sunny weather, and the comfort is high, but the dishes need to be improved, and they can be circled and clicked. In general, as a new high-end hotel in Shanghai, Alila definitely has the potential to stand out and squeeze into the must-stay list. I also look forward to it showing more wonderful in the future. This is also a hotel I will choose again when I come to Shanghai in the future

|First-person perspective of an ordinary person. Do you want to see unedited photos? The hotel is low-key and stylish, very new, opened on September 28, I came here especially to try it out, the photos are very good, new hotels are always better, the location is good, right opposite Xingye Taikoo Hui, the privacy and security are also the standard of luxury hotels, the room design is good, I have stayed in all luxury brand hotels across the country, this design is not bad, I personally can't summarize the text, so I recommend it, it's worth trying, the hotel lobby is all dark, the room is beige, it's quite friendly for friends with children, the room lighting design is also very good, I said the good, then I will say some bad, maybe the hotel just opened, the service is not in place, I can't say it's not good, it's just not in place, I called and waited for an hour for the waiter to come to the room to solve the problem, the doorman at the door also talked too loudly, it seemed that he had not received professional training, and the hotel staff did not greet him when he shuttled in the hotel, which seemed particularly novice, but I believe it will be better in the future, it is worth bringing a family with children to come, it is not bad

Hilton Shanghai City Center Located at the junction of Jing'an and Changning, it offers both bustling city life and tranquility. The hotel features an Art Deco style, which is very Shanghai. Renaissance Qingdao Golden Bay Hotel Renaissance's second hotel in Shandong, it fully integrates local elements such as Badaguan, beer, sailing, and movies into its design.

🏨Location Alila Shanghai is now open. The location is great, just opposite Xingye Taikoo Hui. I made an early reservation for afternoon tea and met up with my girlfriends. It's actually on the 4th floor of the hotel. I really like the entire decor. Having afternoon tea facing the garden greenery outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows gives you a feeling of being in a secret place in the city. The restaurant's interior decoration is also commendable. There are green plants everywhere. The retro green porch is paired with old Shanghai-style artist newspapers, giving you the illusion of dining in a rich lady's room in old Shanghai. The most special design of the entire restaurant is the books that can be found behind the sofa seats. Several of them are about Shanghai's history, which is very close to Shanghai's local characteristics. Drinking tea and reading makes you feel that time is quiet and good.

🌿Stepping into Alila Shanghai is like stepping into a perfect blend of nature and city. 🏨Theme Features: The hotel uses logs and green plants as design elements to create a fresh and quiet atmosphere. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: The room design is simple and modern, and every detail reveals the designer's ingenuity. 🧹Soundproofing/Hygiene: The room is well soundproofed and the hygiene is first-class, which makes people feel at ease. 🍰Catering Highlights: Limited desserts "Alila Shanghai Ice Cream Cone" and exquisite snacks are both visual and taste enjoyment. 🎉Other Features: Officially opened on September 25, it is not only a place to stay, but also a space to showcase life aesthetics. The perfect fusion of Jiangnan Garden and modern fashion makes people linger.

Magic City | AlilA Shanghai·Staycation Bebega Transit, Alila Shanghai grand opening. As the first urban resort Alila hotel in Greater China of Hyatt Group, different from the traditional resort hotels in the past, the hotel is hidden in the hinterland of Magic City. Ensure that every guest can enjoy a moment of peace in the bustling city center. The hotel entrance is located in a small alley in a back street, which accurately achieves the separation of people and vehicles. Take the elevator to the L floor of the hotel, surrounded by a water landscape courtyard, cleverly connecting various functional areas, and the dining spaces such as Yingting and Secret Roof are also closely connected. At the same time as check-in, there will be a Welcome amenities. The lemongrass and passion fruit are neutralized just right, less sour and astringent passion fruit, and a little more lemongrass fragrance. After tasting, a rosemary soaked in Alila special essential oil will be presented, and after the aftertaste, the brain will wake up a lot. Perhaps because of the opening, the hotel staff is not very proficient in handling some details. But it doesn't affect my love for this Alila room. The designer Ju Bin uses my favorite log style on a large scale. The long couch that can be rested at any time, there is still plenty of room for one person to lie down, and the rattan elements that can be seen everywhere in the room, and the silk screen in the shower room, every detail of this room directly hits my heart. Personally, the products of Yingting are much better than Weihai 500. Perhaps it was the first day of opening, the dishes were greatly restricted, and on the other hand, a Chinese restaurant was dressed in Japanese style. The restaurant manager explained that the main mix style is difficult to evaluate. By the way, the beef pot rice and Japanese rice cakes in Yingting are really delicious! I have to say, the rice in this Alila is really delicious The types of breakfast Room service are really too few! I feel like begging on the side of the road. But this morning is a meal, the waiter's efficiency is really too low ps: I communicated with the manager last night about some meals this morning, and when we arrived, we still waited for half an hour.

Shanghai Alila | The Suite Experience is great in every way The two small cakes that came with the room were also delicious It's nice to take photos in the rain, but I prefer the night. It's very comfortable and healing It's also convenient to go shopping around, close to Taikoo Hui and Zhangyuan The overall style is Japanese, the lighting design is just right The team service is also impeccable (just the breakfast a la carte wait is a bit long) It's very suitable for reading and relaxing, I'll come again next time~

| Tested Shanghai's most anticipated new hotel in 2024. I really like Ju Binlao. A business building was originally changed to be so special The combination of light and shadow Design sense and practicality are both a bit of fertile soil For example, the design of the pool, the circular glass yard Of course, there is also the black texture of Alila and Bali There is also the taste of Southeast Asian Lemongrass lemongrass, which is passed down from generation to generation.

✅Design One of the main features of Alila Hotels is their creativity and photogenic quality! For example, Alila in Oman is built on a cliff, featuring a wild luxury cave style, while Alila in Ubud, Bali is hidden in deep valleys, resembling a game CG animation. 🌐Shanghai Alila is designed by the exclusive designer Ju Bin, whose aesthetic sense is impeccable. The most interesting part is that to enter the hotel, you have to drive through a long, deep green driveway, as if preparing to escape the city and enter an 'Arcadia' within the urban area. ♻️All Room Types Alila has a total of 186 rooms and 94 suites, with rooms predominantly featuring wooden tones, bright and soft lighting, and spacious areas. The design blends light Chinese Zen elements with clever natural spaces. Compared to other Alila hotels, it is less wild and more refined, matching the urban temperament of Shanghai. It is more suitable for urban elites to change their environment and enjoy a healing short vacation over the weekend. ➿Facilities The most noteworthy aspect is the unique public area designs of Alila Shanghai! The bar is placed on the rooftop, with an arched dome full of futuristic vibes. Through the large glass windows, it is said that you can gaze at Zhangyuan, a place filled with luxury brands. Sipping a drink here in the summer while watching the sunset like an orange sea sounds delightful! There is also an emerald indoor irregularly-shaped swimming pool, with a rooftop garden outside the window, making it feel like you can start an island holiday anytime in the urban clouds! The SPA, central garden, and restaurant are also exquisitely detailed. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the most photogenic luxury hotel in Shanghai!
