A 600-Year-Old Huizhou-Style Ancient Residence Hotel Hidden in Shanghai, A Must-Stay in Your Lifetime!

Just like Zhou Shengchen’s "Old Residence"—I’ve finally discovered the Anlu Hotel in Shanghai’s Zhujiajiao! This hotel has quite a background, jointly created by Aman founder Adrian Zecha and ShouLv Group. Located in the ancient town of Zhujiajiao, Shanghai, it combines the 600-year-old Ming Dynasty official residence "Wufenglou" with a late Qing Dynasty ancient theater stage. It is China’s first hidden hotel brand centered on the rebirth of ancient architecture 🤩
The moment you step into the hotel, it feels like traveling back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Exquisite wood carvings and stone engravings tell stories of history in every detail. The hotel has only 35 villas, offering a full sense of privacy! Rooms start at 100 square meters and come with private gardens and courtyard views. Staying here feels like having your own little world 🌼
The room amenities are also super luxurious, featuring Swedish royal DUX mattresses that make you feel like you’re wrapped in clouds ☁ and custom-made Ferragamo toiletries, full of high-end vibes. During your leisure time, you can experience Hanfu tea ceremonies and feel the charm of a thousand years of cultural heritage~
Besides accommodation, the food here is not to be missed! The all-day dining restaurant specializes in local Shanghai cuisine. You must try the tender white water fish, and there are also dishes featured in "Floral Bloom," taking your taste buds on a Jiangnan journey 😋
The hotel thoughtfully offers various activities: start your morning with Tai Chi led by an instructor to kick off a vibrant day; enjoy nourishing sweet soups in the evening to warm your body and heart; and if you want to relax, try a Thai spa experience to fully stretch your body and mind~
If you’re looking for a place to escape the hustle and bustle, this is definitely the right choice! Stroll through the ancient town’s nine streets and thirty-six bridges, feel the gentle beauty and tranquility of the Jiangnan water town, then return to the hotel to enjoy top-notch luxury service. This is what a vacation should truly be like 🏖
