The Sukhothai Shanghai

Twelve floors above Weihai Road in Shanghai's Jing'an district, The Sukhothai Shanghai transplants the Bangkok original's Thai-inflected calm into a city built on pace. A garden courtyard — rare at this density of midtown — anchors the ground floor with lotus pools and mature bamboo, visible from the lobby.

Rooms carry hardwood floors, deep soaking tubs, and soundproofing that holds against street noise below. The spa runs body wraps, steam, couples' massages, and foot treatments; the indoor pool sits alongside a hot tub and separate steam room. A personal trainer is available through the fitness centre.

Weihai Road places guests ten minutes from Nanjing West Road's retail corridor and a short walk from the Shanghai Exhibition Centre. The French Concession's restaurant strip is a ten-minute taxi ride south.
