One hundred and forty-five rooms across two connected buildings — the restored 1929 Shanghai Power Company headquarters and a contemporary Ian Schrager-designed tower behind. The most design-forward Shanghai luxury hotel.
"145 rooms across restored 1929 Shanghai Power Company building + Ian Schrager-designed tower. The most design-forward Shanghai luxury."
The Shanghai EDITION opened in 2018 across two connected buildings on Nanjing East Road — the restored 1929 Shanghai Power Company headquarters (one of the historic Bund-area Art Deco buildings) and a contemporary tower designed by Ian Schrager (the founder of EDITION Hotels and previously co-founder of Studio 54) and the Marriott EDITION design team. The architectural premise — a heritage building plus a contemporary tower, connected and operated as a single luxury hotel — gives the property both heritage architectural depth and contemporary luxury infrastructure.
The 145 rooms split between rooms in the original 1929 Power Company building (with restored Art Deco architectural features and substantial heritage character) and the contemporary Ian Schrager tower (with floor-to-ceiling windows, contemporary modernist interiors, and the larger room dimensions). The categories run from EDITION Premier Rooms through Loft Suites (in the heritage building, with the most preserved architectural features), the Penthouse Suites, and the multi-bedroom Suites including the Tower Penthouse (the property's flagship, occupying the top of the contemporary tower with substantial private terrace and panoramic Shanghai skyline views).
The grounds — the central courtyard between the two buildings, the heated rooftop swimming pool with Shanghai skyline views, the comprehensive EDITION Spa, the fitness centre, the multi-restaurant complex, and the rooftop bar — make EDITION comprehensively-equipped for the design-and-cocktail-traveller. The rooftop pool's Shanghai-skyline view is among the most photographed at any Chinese luxury hotel.
Dining is at multiple restaurants. Roof is the headline rooftop bar with panoramic Shanghai views. HIYA is the Cantonese fine-dining. Yi by Jereme Leung is the contemporary Chinese tasting menu. The Tea Lobby is the all-day. The wine and cocktail programmes are exceptional — the cocktail programme draws on Schrager's Studio 54 heritage. Service is the consistent global EDITION lifestyle-luxury standard delivered by a heavily Shanghainese team. The Shanghai EDITION is the most design-forward Shanghai luxury hotel and the answer for travellers who want the lifestyle-luxury Schrager identity with the heritage-tower duality at a more accessible rate ceiling than the major Bund-front options.
The Shanghai anniversary at the design-forward EDITION. Book a Loft Suite in the original 1929 building for the Art Deco heritage features, or a Tower Penthouse for the contemporary panoramic-view experience. Roof rooftop dinner; HIYA Cantonese tasting menu; the EDITION Spa programme. The Schrager design-forward identity gives anniversary stays a different texture from the more conventional luxury options.
The Shanghai EDITION is the strongest Shanghai bachelor/bachelorette option. The Roof rooftop bar is among Shanghai's most-photographed nightlife venues; the Schrager Studio 54 heritage gives the property a particular party-friendly luxury identity; the contemporary tower's Tower Penthouse works for groups.
The Shanghai honeymoon for design-forward couples. The Loft Suites in the heritage building or the Penthouse Suites in the contemporary tower; the rooftop pool with skyline view; the Schrager-designed cocktail programme. Different from the conventional luxury Shanghai honeymoon options — the right choice for couples who want the design-and-lifestyle approach.
