THE VACATION<br />
WORDS BY MUNA NOOR<br />
THE MIDDLE HOUSE, SHANGHAI<br />
If you’re travelling to Shanghai, get excited! This quarter, Swire Hotels – the group behind Beijing’s The Opposite<br />
House and Hong Kong’s The Upper House – is throwing open the doors to The Middle House in Shanghai.<br />
The Middle House is located in the historic Dazhongli neighbourhood and offers up to 111 rooms and 102<br />
residences. Design-wise, Piero Lissoni – renowned architect and founder of Lissoni Architettura in Milan – has lent<br />
his modern aesthetic to the property. <strong>Art</strong> director for iconic design brands including Alpi, Boffi, Lualdi, Flos, Fritz<br />
Hansen, Cassina, Kartell and many more, Lissoni is known for his use of sleek, bold lines and clean silhouettes to<br />
redefine modern spaces; for The Middle House, he drew inspiration from Shanghai’s rich heritage of craftsmanship<br />
and culture.<br />
Fans of the brand can look forward to the same intimate luxury and highly personalised service as they do with<br />
Swire Hotels’ other properties. When completed, the hotel will offer three room types (Studio, Suite and Penthouse)<br />
and have a heated indoor pool, gym, spa as well as a restaurant and café spearheaded by Chef Gray Kunz.<br />
