Aman's Shanghai outpost in a converted 1920s Colonial-era building in the French Concession — surrounded by a private garden in one of Shanghai's most coveted residential neighborhoods, with 24 rooms and suites that feel notably house-like rather than hotel-like. The French Concession location puts guests in the most atmospherically beautiful part of the city, with plane-tree-lined streets, independent restaurants, and the city's best vintage shopping within walking distance.
Why We Chose It
Aman’s Shanghai property occupies Ming-dynasty-style courtyard pavilions adjacent to the Summer Palace. Suites feel house-like rather than hotel-like, with private gardens and museum-quality Chinese antiques. The most serene luxury experience in the city — a retreat that happens to be in one of the world’s largest metropolises.
