Hilton’s Premium Lifestyle Brand, Canopy by Hilton, Debuts in Shanghai

SHANGHAI, China – Hilton (NYSE: HLT) today debuts its first lifestyle hotel in Shanghai with the opening of Canopy by Hilton Shanghai Belfry Plaza, located steps from the LEGOLAND® Shanghai Resort. Designed to immerse guests in the best of the locale, Canopy by Hilton offers an elevated, boutique hotel experience that blends sophisticated design and crafted touchpoints to deliver a high-end and welcoming stay. With striking architecture inspired by the character of Jinshan District, the hotel invites guests to connect with Shanghai’s rich blend of art, culture, and community.

Owned by Shanghai New Jin Shan Investment Share Holding Group Co., Ltd and managed by Hilton, Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza is located just 150 meters from the main entrance of LEGOLAND® Shanghai Resort. The hotel’s prime location not only offers exceptional convenience for park visitors but also marks a significant milestone in the expansion of the Canopy brand in China — reinforcing Hilton’s commitment to lifestyle hospitality while contributing to the growth of Shanghai’s dynamic tourism.

Andrew Ling, senior director, Lifestyle Brands, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said, “Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza perfectly embodies the brand’s elevated, boutique hotel experience.  Parents can enjoy thriving social spaces and rich local experiences while children embrace their creativity and curiosity through carefully designed interactive activities.”

Established in 2014, Canopy by Hilton has a footprint of more than 40 hotels worldwide, including five within China. Each property, like Canopy Xi’an Qujiang, reflects the energy and character of its surroundings, offering guests an authentic connection to its locale. At Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza, the architecture and innovative design draws inspiration from the layout of Jiangnan water towns, creating an inviting, soulful ambience that leaves guests feeling inspired and recharged.

Benny Lee, vice president, Operations, East Greater China & Mongolia, Hilton, said, “The opening of Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza is a pivotal moment for our lifestyle brand portfolio in China. The Canopy brand seamlessly integrates the preferences of modern travelers with the best of the neighborhood, and we’re delighted to bring this dynamic offering to young travelers and families exploring Jinshan in Shanghai.”

The hotel's facade is inspired by traditional Chinese mortise and tenon craftsmanship (a traditional Chinese woodworking technique that interlocks precisely carved joints). Interpreted through modern steel structures, the modular design playfully interacts with the LEGOLAND® Shanghai Resort. At night, light spills through the gaps between the structures to mirror a dreamy river scene. The hotel’s signature 10-meter-high lobby features red brick art walls, metal mesh installations and water-patterned marble, bringing the story of “Heaven · Earth · Water” to life while serving as a striking extension of the surrounding neighborhood.

Harry Lin, general manager, Canopy by Hilton Shanghai Belfry Plaza, said, “We are committed to creating memorable experiences filled with local character for our guests. From thoughtfully designed spaces to community explorations led by our team members, every detail is designed to immerse guests in the unique charm of Jinshan in an engaging and contemporary way.”

Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza features 250 spacious guest rooms, including 30 intentionally designed terrace rooms and suites. The guest rooms feature the brand’s signature canopy frame over the bed, with inspiration drawn from the natural landscape of Jinshan Langxia Country Park.

Designed with families in mind, the hotel’s furniture features rounded corners, and thoughtfully curated child-friendly amenities and conveniences such as an extensive play center that hosts unique experiences, specially curated breakfast options, lunch bags, toilet seats and step stools.

Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza also offers a 24-hour fitness center fully fitted with Precor equipment, and complimentary Canopy bicycles for guests to explore the area. A retail wall connects guests with goods from community artisans, presenting distinctive finds that reflect the soul of Jinshan.

The hotel’s elevated dining offerings celebrate local flavors in lively, social settings, crafting unique culinary experiences that reflect the spirit of the locale.

• The Voyage Lobby Lounge is a social hub for travelers, providing a seasonal Jinshan afternoon tea, handcrafted desserts, and specialty coffee during the day. In the evening, the lounge transforms into a thriving hangout serving craft cocktails, beers, wines, and spirits paired with local snacks.
• Championing countryside ingredients and a farm-to-table philosophy, Autumn Restaurant showcases the skillful integration of modern Shanghainese cuisine with local Jinshan seasonal vegetables such as shepherd's purse and wild rice stem.

For meetings and events, Canopy Shanghai Belfry Plaza features a 400 square meter pillarless ballroom and a 200 square meter outdoor lawn, making it perfectly suited for private parties, weddings or corporate events.
