A Businessclass Verified Hotel
Positioned in the heart of Dazhongli, Shanghai, The Middle House stands as a beacon of modern luxury within The House Collective’s esteemed portfolio. This fourth property by the group artfully bridges Shanghai's cosmopolitan rhythm with refined serenity, housed across two architecturally striking towers. Designed by renowned Italian architect Piero Lissoni, the hotel’s aesthetic celebrates local culture—incorporating Chinese craftsmanship with elements such as porcelain, bamboo, and ceramic, all reimagined in a contemporary context. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a dramatic forest-green bamboo-tiled lobby, punctuated by a showstopping 3,760-piece Venetian glass chandelier, curated Chinese artworks, and a vibrant mix of Shanghai’s style-forward clientele relaxing on designer lounges.
Each of the 111 guest rooms and suites features a sophisticated palette of charcoal, navy, and muted earth tones, complemented by bespoke ceramic headboards, hand-selected Chinese calligraphy, leather-encased sound systems, and elegant silk cord master switches. Expansive bathrooms are separated by sleek glass partitions, offering both privacy and openness. Guests enjoy thoughtful touches such as a complimentary in-room bar (restocked daily with soft drinks and premium local beers), Lululemon yoga mats, and mini hand weights—perfect for wellness-focused travelers. For dining, Frasca delivers rustic Italian fare in a warm, convivial setting, while Sui Tang Li presents innovative Chinese cuisine rooted in tradition. Mornings begin with a lavish breakfast spread at Café Gray Deluxe or alfresco on the sun-dappled terrace. The hotel’s commitment to holistic wellbeing extends to a state-of-the-art subterranean wellness floor, featuring a 33-meter swimming pool, Finnish sauna, steam rooms, advanced gym, yoga studio, juice bar, and HYPOXI training facilities—ensuring guests leave both rejuvenated and inspired.
