If you’ve ever fancied a luxury hotel room with front-row seats to a live football match — without spilling your drink — the freshly unwrapped Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai might be your kind of place.
Unveiled like a well-hit tee shot at sunrise, this striking new property at Shanghai Stadium blends high-end hospitality with the crackling energy of sport, all wrapped up in the brand’s trademark “Yes, I Can!” optimism. It’s bold, it’s brilliant — and frankly, it’s about time.
Situated smack in the middle of Xujiahui Sports Park — a vast, vibrant sprawl of athleticism, art, and adventure — the Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai Stadium brings upscale lodging to one of the city’s most dynamic districts.
Whether you’re here for the stadium roar, a ballet encore, or just to sip a cocktail while pretending to read Camus by the pool, you’re in safe hands.
Where Sports Meet Sophistication
This isn’t just another high-rise with pillow menus. With 208 sleek rooms and suites stretching across the sixth to twelfth floors of the stadium, guests can choose between adrenaline-charged views of the action or the serene greenery of the park — all without leaving their slippers.
Room sizes range from a generous 38 square meters to a suite-sized 200, tailored for everyone from solo travellers to entourages with taste.
“As a globally connected metropolis and a centre of innovation, Shanghai has always been a key market in our strategic expansion,” said James Wang, Vice President of Jin Jiang Radisson Hotels.
“The grand opening of Radisson Blu Hotel, Shanghai Stadium further strengthens the presence of Radisson Blu brand in the Yangtze River Delta region… we are blending Radisson Blu’s signature hospitality with the city’s dynamic sports culture to curate an exceptional experience.“
Translation: Shanghai just got itself a luxury locker room for the world’s well-heeled sports fans and business nomads.
Work Hard, Party Better
If you’re in town to seal a deal or throw a celebration, the hotel doesn’t skimp on space. The Olympia Ballroom clocks in at a stately 445 square metres, with six additional meeting rooms ready to handle everything from TED Talk wannabes to big fat Chinese weddings. And yes, there’s room for both — possibly at the same time.
Forks Up: Dining Worth a Detour
The culinary lineup is no sideshow. 94 Kitchen handles the global buffet circuit with a nod to local flavors — think eggs Benedict with a soy-glazed smirk.
Over at JIU·LI, Huaiyang delicacy flirts with Cantonese flair, all served with the kind of grace that makes you forget you’re technically inside a sports complex.
Meanwhile, JIU·BAR is your go-to for screens, snacks, and spectacular cocktails, whether you’re watching the match or recovering from one.
There’s also a plush executive lounge for those who like their lattes with a side of quiet negotiations and an optional six-person boardroom — a godsend for discreet deals or awkward reunions.
A Temple for the Toned
Keeping with the athletic theme, the hotel’s wellness amenities could make a CrossFit coach blush. A 25-meter see-through, temperature-controlled pool is the showpiece, but there’s also a state-of-the-art gym and even a hyperbaric oxygen chamber — because nothing says “high-performance hospitality” like turbo-charged breathing.
Davide Pesenato, General Manager, put it plainly: “We are very honoured to introduce the latest addition to the Radisson Blu brand in this vibrant area of Shanghai.
From thoughtfully designed spaces and premier facilities to outstanding services, the hotel is committed to bringing a personalised and local experience for guests to create unforgettable memories at events, business meetings or cultural activities.”
He’s not wrong. From the pulse of the pitch to the calm of the spa, this place knows how to treat its guests like champions.
Whether you’re a business traveller hunting for convenience, a tourist drawn to Shanghai’s storied lanes, or a sports fanatic who prefers their suite to come with a scoreboard, the Radisson Blu Hotel Shanghai is swinging for the fences — and connecting clean.
