Alila Shanghai blends modern elements (skyscraper views and open-plan bathrooms) with traditional customs and harmonious design. Geometric floor tiles, inspired by nearby historic Shikumen mansions, feature a pattern that references that era of building in Shanghai. Calm, earth-toned spaces may serve as a retreat from the busy streets below, but the hotel ensures its guests still feel integrated within the destination through experiences like the local custom of afternoon tea and locally crafted artwork.
