InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin: A hidden gem in the city

🏨: InterContinental Shanghai Ruijin
📍: No. 118 Ruijin 2nd Road, Shanghai
Location and transportation: Located near Huaihai Road business district and Ruijin Hospital, close to Metro Line 2 and 10, very convenient for travel.
Nearby food and attractions: 15-minute walk to Tianzifang, 3 metro stops to Wukang Mansion. The surrounding area is a mix of local life and a bourgeois lifestyle, making it a great choice for a vacation.
Hotel features: A century-old garden villa hotel exuding the charm of old Shanghai, taking you on an authentic Shanghai cultural journey.
Room layout and facilities: Rooms are about 45 square meters, decorated in a strong "old Shanghai" style, with dark red wooden furniture and light yellow walls and floor tiles, exuding a low-key aristocratic atmosphere. The bathroom has a separate shower and bathtub, with a vintage bathtub and sink adding a historical touch.
Executive lounge dining: Semi-buffet breakfast, small portions but high quality, recommended to try the authentic Shanghai beef noodles and wontons. Afternoon tea has a few desserts and fruits, the coffee is not as amazing as rumored. Dinner buffet has seafood and barbecue, overall taste is average, but the specialties are popular.
[Hotel facilities] Old Shanghai style
Gym and swimming pool: From the membership card promotion stand at the front desk, it seems that the hotel has outsourced some of its business; the gym is fully equipped but the space is a bit cramped; the swimming pool is about 20 meters, with a suitable water temperature, and the male and female changing rooms have small pools and saunas, but the facilities have an old-fashioned feel, making it easy to compare with new hotels.
