In central Jing'an, Alila Shanghai stands on Weihai Road beside the restored shikumen lanes of Zhangyuan. Stone, timber and muted colours shape the rooms and suites, which have broad windows and details influenced by traditional Chinese houses. Landscaped courtyards and garden terraces soften the modern building's urban setting. Spa Alila, an indoor pool and a fitness centre provide the main wellness facilities. Dining includes Chinese cooking at 500 Weihai Road, tea and light dishes at ChaYan, and drinks on the Secret Roof. Nanjing West Road's shops and metro connections are within walking distance, while People's Square lies further east.
