Shanghai Historic Houses

I used to live near Xing Guo hotel before I moved overseas. This hotel was actually my dream hotel when I was a teenager. And finally, I got the chance to stay here! 😆 Absolutely amazing hotel! Very well maintained. Hotel room is beautifully designed. I really loved the decor. Service is also on top! And the view of my old neighbourhood is stunning as always. ✌🏼 My friend also enjoyed the stay and surroundings. Overall, this hotel is far beyond my expectation.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Zhotel in Shanghai, and it was an unforgettable experience! The hotel boasts a stunning location with breathtaking views of the iconic skyline, making it a perfect backdrop for photography. The ambiance is chic and cozy, creating a welcoming atmosphere the moment you step inside. There is a construction site right in front of the hotel though. We had to keep our balcony closed the entire time. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my stay was comfortable. The room was beautifully designed with modern amenities, and the balcony view was simply to die for. I spent hours just soaking in the vibrant city life below. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway or a stylish place to explore the city, Zhotel is definitely worth considering. I can't wait to return!

As an amanjunkie, I came to Shanghai during the National Day holiday to experience the old Shanghai Shikumen-style hotel - Capella Shanghai Jianyeli. The villa room type is very distinctive. The door opens to a green courtyard. The living room is on the first floor. The flower art and welcome fruit are very pleasant. The strawberry fruit tart tastes great. It is probably the flagship product of his bakery. The first and a half floors are a leisure audio-visual room. The free mini bar drinks are very rich. The master bedroom on the second floor, the twin bed room I booked this time, feels more reasonable and convenient than the double bed room. The second and a half floors are the main bathroom, which is spacious and has a good smell of Mulan Qinxia's washing and care. Going up is a terrace where you can blow the wind and look at the stars. Although the hotel does not have many cultural parent-child activities, it is absolutely rich in the experience of taste buds. Breakfast is a single-order buffet that is standard in luxury hotels, and the taste is impeccable. The morning ceremony seems to have returned to a hundred years ago against the backdrop of the old Shanghai ”Shenbao”. The library exclusive benefits in the afternoon provide coffee, tea and a variety of delicious snacks that are different every day. The cocktails at the French restaurant Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire in the evening are also not to be missed. During our three night stay, the main cocktails were different every night, and there were also non-alcoholic drinks suitable for children. The hotel's service level is impeccable, comparable to Aman, and it is a perfect family trip.

Taiyuan Villa, located at No. 160 Taiyuan Road, Shanghai, is a classic French late Renaissance building with a history of 100 years. In 1946, General Marshall, as the special envoy of the US President, stayed here when he came to China to mediate the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, so it is also called ”Marshall Villa”. After liberation, it became the State Guesthouse of Shanghai. Chairman Mao and other leaders and many historical celebrities have lived here. The villa is located in the city center, with a large garden, quiet in the bustling city, elegant environment, large rooms, and within walking distance to Huaihai Middle Road and Wukang Road.

Stepping into Zuoting Shangyuan Hotel, it feels like being in a paradise, quiet and comfortable. In the lobby, the lingering fragrance wafts, instantly soothing the body and mind. Every detail is designed for a comfortable experience. The caring butler leads you to the guest room, and the service is just right, without feeling cumbersome at all. The facilities in the room are exquisite, the layout is reasonable, and the feeling of warmth is overwhelming. Whether it is the soft bed or the elegant decoration, it makes people feel relaxed. Stay here for a night, away from the hustle and bustle, let yourself relax, calm down and enjoy your own time. I would like to regard it as a warm harbor outside of home, so that the soul can rest, leaving unforgettable and pleasant memories.

The service is very good, must praise! The hotel is in the lively ancient town, and the noise outside the door is quiet as soon as you enter the door. The hotel converted from an ancient house, the antique buildings under the huge camphor tree, are refreshing! It is also very convenient to play in the ancient town. The lunch and dinner included in the set meal are very rich and delicious. It is a good experience. I will stay here next time I go to the ancient town👍

Love it!! Spacious, comfortable and bright. The staff is friendly and helpful. They sent our luggage to the room and introduced us to the famous views. On the road of Nanjing street and just around the corner of MRT station. The breakfast buffet was so-so, and the dining area is limited. And draining is a bit slow in the bathroom. The front desk mentioned we should remove the cover of drainage when we feedback during the check out. The overall experience is super satisfying.

I had a fantastic stay at the Fairmont Peace Hotel Shanghai from June 4-6, 2024. The hotel’s location on the Bund is perfect for exploring Shanghai's vibrant cityscape. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable. A personal greeting from the General Manager added a special touch that made me feel truly valued. My room was luxurious and well-appointed, offering a breathtaking view of the city. The breakfast was superb, with a diverse selection of delicious options. I also had a memorable dining experience at their restaurant, where both the food and service were outstanding. Fairmont Peace Hotel Shanghai provided an exceptional stay, and I can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

A wonderful second stay at this gorgeous boutique hotel! It's my new favourite place in the city. The service is amazing, the rooms are lovely and clean, and it's in an amazing location. Very comfortable beds and lovely little touches in the room (fruit, sandalwood soap etc). It was perfect for Christmas weekend.

We had a 2 night stay at the historic Yangtze Boutique Hotel. Very easy to get to by Metro. People's Square exit 14 and you will be right there. Everything about this hotel is pure class. The hotel has a unique and interesting history that they embrace and present beautifully. As you can see in the pictures the room itself is luxurious and very very comfortable. Attention to detail is found throughout the hotel including the unique displays on each floor highlighting Old Shanghai history. Our stay coincided with Typhoon Beibijia 贝碧嘉 - the strongest storm to hit Shanghai since 1949. The professional and friendly staff made sure we were well informed and taken care of. Thank you to all for your hard work during that time. If you are looking for a high end boutique hotel experience that captures the Old Shanghai history and also puts you right in the best location to see modern day Shanghai attractions like The Bund, Nanjing Lu and People's Park you will find it with this wonderful hotel.
