Swire Hotels · Luxury
Piero Lissoni’s 111-room house inside HKRI Taikoo Hui, in Jing’an. Minimal, craft-led and quietly expensive — the Shanghai stay for people who care more about design than a river view.
Included with your stay
Offer valid to 2026-12-31. Rates are confirmed at the time of booking and depend on availability.
Inside the property
The Middle House is Swire Hotels’ Shanghai member of the House Collective — 111 studios and suites by Piero Lissoni inside HKRI Taikoo Hui in Jing’an, from 50 square metres, with a 660-square-metre penthouse above West Nanjing Road. The design language is minimalist with classical Shanghainese craft references; the result reads calm rather than themed.
The food programme is the strongest of any Shanghai luxury hotel for its size: Café Gray Deluxe with its terrace, the Italian kitchen Frasca, and Sui Tang Li, a Michelin-listed Chinese dining room.
Inside the property
The hotel connects directly to the Taikoo Hui mall and West Nanjing Road metro — the most practical luxury base in the city for a first visit, with the Bund a ten-minute ride. Pet-friendly policies and the serviced-residence wing make it the choice for longer stays.
