While the historic buildings offer immense charm, some room interiors show signs of age.
Best for
- Heritage and Vintage Enthusiasts — The hotel features beautifully preserved 1920s neoclassical villas, original furniture, and a rich history as a former state guesthouse.
- Couples Seeking Romance — The sprawling, well-maintained parkland with ancient camphor trees and evening illumination provides a highly romantic, secluded atmosphere.
- Tranquility Seekers — It offers a peaceful, green oasis to escape the city's bustle while remaining within walking distance of key historic districts.
Not ideal for
- Modernists and Tech Lovers — Those expecting futuristic glass skyscrapers and brand-new, tech-heavy room designs may find the older room inventory and classic layouts disappointing.
- Guests with Mobility Concerns — The historic low-rise villas lack elevators in some buildings, which can pose challenges unless ground-floor rooms are secured.
Rating breakdown
- ALocation — Situated in the prestigious French Concession, within walking distance of Xintiandi and Tianzifang, though the nearest metro is 900 metres away.
- B+Rooms — Spacious with high ceilings and comfortable beds, but lower-floor garden rooms can be damp and some furnishings show wear.
- AService — Outstanding hospitality featuring fluent English-speaking staff and a legendary chief concierge who orchestrates complex logistics.
- ADining — Features a Michelin-recognized Chinese restaurant and an exceptional Executive Lounge offering lavish evening spreads with seafood.
- A-Facilities — Includes a quiet heated indoor pool, a modern fitness center, a spa, and vast lawns popular for weddings.

Verdict
This historic estate is highly recommended for travellers seeking classic Old Shanghai charm, exceptional service, and a peaceful garden retreat. It is less suited for those who prefer ultra-modern high-rise hotels with brand-new room technology.
