Shanghai's Classic 5-Star Hotel | A Quiet Retreat in the City

🏨 The Middle House Shanghai - A Quiet Retreat in the City 🌟 📍 Hotel Background: The Middle House Shanghai is located at 366 Shimen Yi Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai. It is one of the four members of the House Collective series by Swire Group. Designed by a famous Italian designer, the hotel perfectly blends traditional Chinese elements with modern Shanghai style, creating a tranquil, minimalist, and elegant atmosphere. Since its opening in 2018, the hotel has attracted countless visitors with its understated yet luxurious style. 📍 Location: The Middle House is located in the Nanjing West Road business district, with a prime location and convenient transportation. It is adjacent to the HKRI Taikoo Hui shopping mall, across the street from the Starbucks Roastery, and opposite the Wusong Road pedestrian street. In addition, the hotel is close to Jing'an Temple and the Bund, and within walking distance of Xintiandi and other "old Shanghai" style neighborhoods. This location allows you to enjoy the convenience of the city while finding a quiet place of your own away from the hustle and bustle. 🛏️ Experience: Upon entering The Middle House, you will be captivated by its exquisite interior. The hotel has 111 rooms and 102 apartments, with rooms featuring a contrast design of dark wood and sofas with white beds and bathtubs, enhancing the texture and adding a cozy feel. The large leather sofa is perfect for napping and relaxing. The bathroom design is also very thoughtful, with a "one" design that places the shower and toilet on either side of the double sink, avoiding awkwardness when used simultaneously. However, note that some rooms do not have fully automatic heated toilets, which may be a bit cold in winter. In terms of dining, The Middle House's Western and Chinese restaurants are located in another building, just a two to three-minute walk away. The dishes are equally satisfying, especially the breakfast à la carte, which allows you to taste authentic Shanghai xiaolongbao and soft, fragrant white porridge. However, if you have higher expectations for Western dishes, you may be slightly disappointed, as some Western dishes may not be as good as the Chinese ones. 🌆 Surroundings: The surroundings of The Middle House are rich and colorful. You can visit the Starbucks Roastery anytime and enjoy a freshly brewed coffee; you can also walk a short distance to the alleys of the Jing'an Villa area and taste the Shanghai wonton noodle shop with an average consumption of about 15 yuan; you can also visit the Natural History Museum, Nanjing West Road, and other famous attractions and shopping areas to experience the prosperity and charm of Shanghai. 💡 Tips: 1. Although the hotel rooms are not large, every detail reveals taste. If you have higher requirements for room size, it is recommended to book a larger room type in advance. 2. The Middle House's glass cups are very delicate, and all drinks except those with labels are free to drink. Don't miss this little benefit! 3. The hotel's cloakroom may be a bit narrow for fashion bloggers and inconvenient. If you need more storage space, it is recommended to communicate with the hotel in advance and seek help. 4. The shower room is transparent, which may be awkward for friends staying together, except for couples. If you have higher privacy requirements, it is recommended to communicate with the hotel in advance and seek other room types or solutions. Overall, The Middle House Shanghai is impressive in terms of location, design, and service. If you are looking for a place in Shanghai that allows you to enjoy the convenience of the city while being away from the hustle and bustle, The Middle House is definitely a good choice! ✨
