Haig Court Welcomes Its First Guest After an Elegant Revival

Revitalizing Shanghai's Historic Architecture for a New Era of Elevated Urban Living

SHANGHAI, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Haig Court, the first luxury serviced apartment under Jin Jiang Radisson Hotels, welcomed its first guest recently, making a new chapter in its history. As a landmark reborn, it reflects Jin Jiang Radisson Hotels' commitment to urban renewal and the revitalization of historic architecture. Following an extensive renovation in 2024 that restored its architectural elegance and upgraded its surroundings, the residence seamlessly blends heritage charm with modern sophistication, offering guests a distinctive living experience.

Blending Shanghai-style Culture with Modern Spirit

Haig Court, originally built in the 1920s, was first designed as a high-end apartment complex for expats in Shanghai. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became the office of the East China Bureau of the Communist Party of China and later housed the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee. In 1977, responding to the city's growing tourism sector, the building was transformed into Jing'An Hotel, welcoming the public and hosting numerous heads of state, government leaders, and dignitaries.

Today, Haig Court stands as a living testament to Shanghai's rich cultural heritage. The renovation team expertly preserved its elegant Spanish architectural elements while integrating a serene garden setting, restoring the building with meticulous attention to detail. Inspired by the charm of Shanghai's traditional alleyway neighborhood, the redesign blends heritage aesthetics with contemporary sophistication. In addition, sustainability is at the heart of Haig Court's transformation, with eco-friendly initiatives such as environmental monitoring, coordinated control of smart air conditioning and ventilation systems, shaping it into a sustainable and culturally enriching space in the heart of Shanghai.

Haig Court boasts 62 spacious residences, exceeding traditional hotel standards with well-defined functional areas that cater to diverse lifestyle needs, including socializing, leisure, cooking, bathing and storage. Apartment sizes range from 44m² studio to a 257m² penthouse, providing flexible living solutions for different residents. Each unit features independent living quarters, while communal areas are equipped with wellness and business facilities that rival those of high-end hotels.

Haig Court also utilizes an advanced smart system to efficiently manage reservations, housekeeping, travel arrangements and concierge services, seamlessly integrating technology into daily life. Additionally, Haig Court provides a number of always-on services, including 24-hour security, dedicated butler service, and laundry, for a homely yet luxurious experience for every resident.

The newly upgraded Haig Court is operated and managed by Jin Jiang Radisson Hotels, incorporating core renovation concepts of classic elegance, modern style, shared spaces, environmental consciousness, smart technology and privacy. Leading with Jin Jiang Radisson Hotels' brand philosophy of "Every Moment Matters", Haig Court is committed to providing high-quality accommodations tailored to long-term travelers in Shanghai.

Haig Court, originally a residential apartment complex and later transformed into Jing'An Hotel to support cultural tourism development, has now reemerged as a luxury serviced apartment, continuing the legacy of Jin Jiang Radisson Hotels' world-class service standards and contributing to both industrial upgrading and urban renewal.
