The development of FILA HOUSE Shanghai marks the first time FILA China is extending its brand into the lifestyle hotel space, as FILA’s vision for this hotel aligns with the JdV by Hyatt brand’s ethos. Embracing the brand’s namesake (joie de vivre), the JdV by Hyatt brand offers a collection of independent properties that are true reflections of the urban neighborhoods they call home, inviting guests and locals alike to connect and celebrate the joy of life while unwinding in spaces designed with distinctive personality. This, together with the FILA brand’s free-spirited attitude and legacy of style designed for life in motion, will create a one-of-a-kind experience that appeals to today’s young travelers seeking to live in the moment.

Stephen Ho, president of growth and operations, Asia Pacific for Hyatt, said, “We are thrilled to be working with ANTA Group and FILA China to develop the first FILA HOUSE hotel in the world. We look forward to welcoming guests, locals and a new generation of FILA fans with the JdV by Hyatt brand’s inclusive, heartfelt and joy-driven service.”

Brian Yiu, CEO of FILA China, said, “We are excited to be collaborating with Hyatt on the world’s first FILA-branded lifestyle hotel. Not only will the hotel be a unique expression of FILA’s history, culture, products and fashion trends, we believe that the young-at-heart JdV by Hyatt brand experience will be a fitting reflection of FILA’s spirit of vitality.”

FILA HOUSE Shanghai will be developed as part of the new Shanghai headquarters of ANTA Group in Shanghai’s West Hongqiao Business District, an area that is fast establishing itself as a center of Shanghai international trade, with excellent transportation links and a vibrant community of business and industry. Located across five independent buildings, housing headquarter office, shops, food and beverage outlets, the unique eco-friendly headquarters complex is envisioned to be a destination for sports retail as well as a space to showcase the latest trends in sports apparel. The complex, including FILA HOUSE Shanghai, is expected to open by 2024.

Fila understands that the beauty of sport is that, of a life in motion. A worldwide leader in sporting and lifestyle shoes and apparel, Fila champions its heritage Italian design DNA while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of modern performance wear.

It's a shoe in.,,

David

it's a JdV hotel, so not sure if it's a "new" Hyatt brand.

Really hope the branding stops with the hotel name. FILA interiors will be ghastly.

It will fall under the JdV brand, not a new brand.

Nike Hotel/Resort/____ , coming soon to a hotel company near you? NIke seems more about restricting distribution channels for their brand than FILA.

Seems like this kind of thing may potentially preclude a Hyatt tie-in with another sportswear company, but stranger things have happened before.

yes, my mistake, misleading title. Have asked the mods to change

It has nothing to do with Hyatt partnering with a shoe company, but everything to do with a Chinese sportwear company wanting to name a hotel it is building at itsnew corporate headquarters after one of its own brands. Hyatt must have been agreeable to the idea, but wanted it in a non-core brand such as JdV.

I hope the floors are like those basketball courts made with melted-down balls but with melted-down FILA soles instead.
