IHG Hotels & Resorts is shaking things up with their Atwell hotel brand in China. The first Atwell Suites Shanghai Wuning started on August 28, 2025. It matters to IHG.
A New Style for Today’s Travelers
Atwell isn’t like other hotels. It’s got a modern look, but it feels like a place you know. The rooms are open and have bright colors and art that makes it fun. It’s trendy, amusing, and near local stuff.
It’s about the atmosphere. Atwell is for people who want something more than just a bed. They want a stay they will remember in a place where they feel good. All the little things, from the furniture to the extras, make you feel at home and get your creative juices flowing.
Great Spot
Atwell Suites is in Shanghai’s busy Putuo District, which is great whether you’re on a work trip or just visiting. The area has a lot of culture, yummy food, and art, and the hotel fits right in. Whether you’re going to meetings, seeing the sights, or just taking it easy, Atwell is close to everything but feels like a getaway.
Its location is ideal. People can enjoy a bit of local life while getting good service. That makes Atwell a brand that understands what people like.
More to Come
The Shanghai opening is just the start. IHG plans to put Atwell hotels in other big cities in China. They want to get in on the trend of lifestyle hotels. These spots are all about cool designs, fun times, and making people feel like they belong.
Atwell will make use of IHG One Rewards to get people in the door. These are people who like to be themselves, appreciate good stuff, and want trips they will talk about. By mixing local knowledge and great hotel service, Atwell wants to make places that are cool, modern, and memorable.
What Makes Atwell Special
So, what’s good about Atwell? It mixes design, comfort, and local vibes. The hotel doesn’t just look good but also works well. The open spaces are good for hanging out and getting ideas, and the rooms are quiet and cozy.
Atwell isn’t just copying the local scene it’s showing it off. The art, food, and things to do show what Shanghai and China have going on. It’s like a way to join people from all over with the local culture, making hotel stays exciting.
People Talk, IHG Listens
People like the art and extras. Families, solo travelers, and business people all think Atwell is neat.
IHG pays attention to what people say. They’re using what they hear to make things better and open more hotels in other cities. Atwell isn’t just another hotel it’s a brand that keeps getting better with its customers.
Why It’s Key
Lifestyle hotels are the future. People want things to do, not just things. IHG knows this, and Atwell is their answer. It’s about comfort, design, and local culture. The Shanghai start shows IHG is not just watching trends they’re creating them.
By watching what people love, what looks good, and what makes a trip fun, Atwell is setting a new standard for lifestyle hotels. It’s a brand made for stories, not just nights ones that people will share.
What’s next?
With its first hotel in Shanghai, Atwell may change what people expect from hotels. IHG wants to keep growing, building a group of hotels in China that show this idea. Each hotel will focus on design, experiences, and a mix of local and global culture.
If you want a modern hotel, Atwell is worth a look. It’s hip, comfy, connected to the local culture, and made for people who want a real experience, not just a room.
