Kimpton Nine Trees
Shanghai, China
HOTELS & RESORTS
YEAR COMPLETED
2026
Set within the woodlands of Fengxian, Kimpton Nine Trees Shanghai brings the brand’s design-led, socially spirited approach to a quieter side of the city. The 229-room lifestyle and wellness retreat places nature, dining and human connection at the centre of the guest experience.
LEVELS was appointed to shape the hotel’s food and beverage identity across three distinct venues. Our involvement extended from F&B strategy and concept development through venue positioning, naming, brand direction and guest-facing collateral.
SONG — A contemporary interpretation of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, balancing regional culinary traditions with a lighter, more modern expression. Eleven individual private dining rooms create a refined yet welcoming setting for family gatherings, business entertaining and milestone occasions.
SOLA & LUNA - Inspired by the sun-soaked coastlines of Italy, France and Spain, the concept brings together relaxed Mediterranean dining, fresh ingredients and an easy-going sense of occasion. SOLA transitions naturally from laid-back daytime dining into more spirited evenings, while LUNA offers a private setting for intimate tastings and immersive dining experiences.
ECHO — Inspired by caves, fieldwork and the thrill of underground discovery, the destination bar unfolds as a hidden world of atmospheric spaces, exploratory storytelling and carefully considered guest touchpoints. Its identity extends through the menus and collateral, drawing on field notes, geological references and the traces left behind by imagined expeditions.
The opening of Kimpton Nine Trees Shanghai also marks the third LEVELS-developed Kimpton project to welcome guests within a year, following Kimpton Naluria Kuala Lumpur and Kimpton Aqeos Hainan.
