Experience the charm of old Shanghai and the stories of its prosperity

Located between the small Western-style houses and old alleys of Huaihai Road, this hotel was transformed from the "French Club" designed by a French architect in 1926. It boasts a beautiful private back garden with lush greenery and an elegant atmosphere, making it one of the earliest luxury hotels in Shanghai.
Rooms
The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with ELEMIS toiletries that I love. The custom-made King Koil mattress and pure cotton bedding instantly relieve fatigue, allowing for a restful night's sleep and waking up refreshed. Each room offers a unique view, whether it's the bustling cityscape or the tranquil garden scenery, allowing you to relax and savor the unique charm of Shanghai.
Dining
The hotel offers a diverse selection of authentic Chinese and international cuisine. I highly recommend the exquisite Jiangnan cuisine, with each dish showcasing the chef's craftsmanship. Additionally, the restaurant offers top-quality steaks and seafood, making it an ideal choice for food enthusiasts.
Facilities
The pool and hot tub are often empty, allowing you to enjoy a vacation-like experience whether you're swimming in the blue water, reading on a comfortable sofa, or soaking in the clear hot tub with daily water changes.
Experience
If I had to choose an old-fashioned hotel to stay in, it would definitely be this one. With its French classical exterior and retro-style decor, this 1926 building offers more than just details. The vintage and luxurious staircases and corridors at the corners exude the romance of old Shanghai.
