The Middle House in Shanghai – Swire Hotels’ latest addition to The House Collective group of hotels – continues the same story of intimate, personal luxury with the newly-inveiled Penthouse.

Piero Lissoni, Architect and founder of Lissoni Architettura in Milan, Italy who also designed The Middle House, continues with the same modernist aesthetic in the Penthouse with touches of both Italian and Chinese culture in its design and furnishings.

The traditional Venetian terrazzo flooring in particular, was specially chosen to help amplify the spacious, classic elegance of the area, while a handpainted dragon mural in natural tones pays homage local culture.

Occupying 660 sq m on the 14th floor, the Penthouse features a living area perfect for entertaining, a master bedroom set away from a second smaller bedroom for added privacy, outdoor terraces overlooking the city, and an event space with an outdoor area and a 208 sq m indoor room that can be divided into two smaller spaces for more intimate events.

The Italian restaurant, Frasca, can host 70 guests for a dinner on the outside terrace, and Sui Tang Shang, above the Chinese Restaurant, comfortably accommodates 80 guests for cocktail-style events.
