[About IVY Shanghai]
The 46-room boutique hotel IVY Shanghai transforms a converted 1950s cinema, just a short stroll from the shopping and business hub of Nanjing West Road.

The hotel’s bold styling by American-French designer Dillon Garris vamps up the interplay of ancient and modern Chinese design with funky lipstick-red lattice screens, grey brick walls reminiscent of Shanghai lanes and China pop art.

IVY Shanghai’s signature restaurant Kuromastsu is tucked away in true Japanese style behind the lobby. Heading the kitchen is chef Kevin Lee, formerly of Hong Kong’s premier teppanyaki restaurant, Matsubishi.

The 60-seat dining room centres around a seven-chef teppanyaki grill serving classic teppanyaki prepared in traditional style using both seasonal local produce and top-quality imported ingredients.

The hotel also features a whimsical private coffee bar and wifi lounge in a sky-lit atrium on the second floor, where the cinema's original screen once stood.

IVY Shanghai is the first mainland China hotel by CHI - International, a luxury Asian hotel management firm that operates unique resorts and serviced apartments throughout Hong Kong and Fiji.
