Food and drink at Jia Shanghai

In the know
Our favourite rooms
The Penthouse Plus has the biggest wow factor, with its rock-star proportions, a DJ booth, Jacuzzi tub, full kitchen facilities, and a personal butler in attendance. The corner suites, however, are the Smiths’ top pick, with the fourth floor our favourite for the views from their balconies. These rooms have a cosy apartment feel, only with added glam thanks to the Versace-esque Bisazza mosaic feature walls in the big bathrooms, and the retro pop-art photo prints of Chinese food labels on the walls.
Packing tips
Don’t bother bringing a notepad – you’ll find a cute and collector-worthy custom-made notebook waiting for in your room. Don’t worry about games, either – each room in Jia includes a set of traditional Chinese board games to while away the evenings.
Also
Jia sources its spa services from the nearby Shui Spa, which has talented Filipino therapists available for in-room treatments. Traditional tui-na massages are available too.
