Located in the heart of Shanghai's heritage district, this stunning new luxury hotel offers fabulous views across the vibrant and bustling metropolis. 

Open to guests from February 3, 2026, Andaz Shanghai ITC is the last word in urban comfort, appealing to discerning travellers who appreciate quality and style. Designers drew on the theme of nostalgia, referencing numerous iconic Shanghai sights, tastes, sounds and smells that will invoke warm feelings of yesteryear among visitors from near and far.

Nostalgia-Inspired Design

Andaz Shanghai ITC is located in one of the city's newest landmarks, the soaring ITC Xujiahui complex, a pioneering project in the heart of a vibrant commercial area that also has a rich history.

The overall concept of Andaz Shanghai ITC is “bringing outside in”, in other words a vertical Shanghai neighborhood at the crossroads of alleyways and skylines. The Xujiahui district has a storied past and was at the forefront of development when Shanghai opened up to the outside world.

Motifs of the city's past, and present, can be found in the luxurious rooms, the destination restaurants, the rooftop bar and the open, neighborhood style corridors. The third-floor hotel entranceway embodies that history-meets-contemporary spirit. A glass-brick feature wall and moss-hued rugs are inspired by Shanghai’s charming laneways, where the elegant European-style low rise buildings date back more than a century. The sleek check-in lobby on the 14th floor that is similarly influenced by the Shanghai of yesteryear.

The overall design is in keeping with the Andaz concept. It is a Hindi word that translates as personal style and every Andaz hotel is unique and influenced by its local surroundings.

Rooms and Suites

Our 267 rooms and suites all offer spectacular floor-to-ceiling views over one of the most vibrant parts of Shanghai, where century-old European-style heritage buildings nestle beside soaring skyscrapers. The interiors are stylish and spacious, with subtle design references to the vibrant city's rich cultural tapestry. The very latest hi-tec appliances and glorious, spa-like bathrooms complete the signature Andaz guest experience of refined luxury.

There is a wide variety of accommodation options, many offering outdoor terraces, all with floor-to-ceiling views and equipped with Nespresso coffee maker, Simmons luxury firm mattress and 55” IPTV with extensive channels and the Byredo Eleventh Hour amenity collection, exclusively curated for Andaz.

The rooms range in size from 45 sqm to the 147 sqm Executive Suite, where guests enjoy private, penthouse-style luxury living. The flagship suite has all the signature Andaz avant-garde design features, custom made by skilled Shanghai craftsmen, and an awesome view of the bustling city down below, one of the most populous places on earth.

The overall room-design concept takes a residential-style approach, starting with corridors featuring a design that highlights the silhouette of a plane tree, a fixture in the streets down below. Individual room doors are purposely varied to emphasize the residential ambience, while the interiors are modeled on the maisonette accommodation model; free-standing wardrobes guide visitors towards the bathroom, where 3D tiles enhance its personalized, home-bathroom feel.

Each bedroom is furnished with comfortable home décor to enhance relaxation. Additionally, a versatile seating zone accommodates lounging, dining or working, emphasizing the personal-haven experience. This seamless integration of Shanghai history, new design language, and authentic local touches ensure guests becomes part of the Shanghai narrative, where the present is infused with the past.

The gym design also follows the overarching theme of the Andaz Shanghai ITC leisure facilities, an intimate space that emphasizes privacy and members-only exclusivity. Each-and-every work-out routine takes place in a very special environment rather than a utilitarian fitness center that is open to one-and- all.

Dining and Drinks

The three exciting culinary options at Andaz Shanghai ITC ensure that the hotel will become a destination-dining spot in a cosmopolitan city where the people know their food.

  • The Rooftop Bar is where the city's movers and shakers, decision-makers and influencers can be found, sampling the innovative tea-infused cocktails and admiring the fashion-themed decor, with photographs of haute-couture creations lining the walls. Stunning views of the city below are another feature of this high-up eyrie.
  • The West Wing (below) is a European and Shanghainese deli and wine bar offering small-plate dining experiences in the very heart of Shanghai. The overall decor, and mood, is stylishly vintage.
  • The East Wing is a spacious and airy dining enclave offers a dazzling range of options, with a range of enticing food stations for breakfast and lunch and, in the evening, classic Shanghainese dishes prepared with local ingredients, delivering nostalgic childhood flavors. The high ceilings, canopy-style lighting and exquisite decor contribute to the air of refined sophistication. Discreet private dining rooms and a plant-filled outdoor terrace are also options for East Wing diners.
