Staying at Shanghai Miller Villa Hotel felt like stepping into a fairy tale—rich in history and charm from the moment you walk in. The exterior might not scream 'new and flashy,' but inside, everything has that timeless elegance of old-money quality—the bedding was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night's sleep.

I’ve passed by this hotel countless times while commuting, always dreaming of staying here—and finally made it happen. The moment I stepped into the grand lobby with its soaring ceiling and dazzling crystal chandelier, I knew this was going to be special. The property sits on nearly 60,000 square meters of private garden, making it feel like a hidden European estate right in the heart of bustling Shanghai. From the very first greeting, the service was exceptional—Esther from front desk went above and beyond: upgraded our room, offered a two-hour late check-out without hesitation, and even shared her WeChat for easy communication. That kind of personal touch is rare. Breakfast was an absolute highlight—huge variety, beautifully presented. From freshly steamed dim sum and handmade noodles to a wide selection of breads, oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, and even ice cream, every detail was thoughtfully curated. But what truly stole the show was the garden. Lush green lawns, mature trees casting dappled sunlight, historic buildings nestled among foliage—perfect for quiet strolls or Instagram-worthy shots. Every corner feels like a scene from a film. The pool is clean and refreshingly salty—almost like swimming in the sea! Plus, there are two hot tubs nearby, perfect for unwinding.

Jin Jiang Hotel

Staying at Jin Jiang Hotel was an absolute delight—this truly is a century-old institution with character and charm. The room exuded that classic 'old cadre' elegance, with refined details that made me feel like I'd stepped into history. Breakfast was outstanding—rich in traditional Chinese dim sum, especially the noodle toppings: mushroom, preserved mustard greens, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and over ten other varieties—all fresh and flavorful. For those sensitive to caffeine, there were plenty of tea options to choose from, which was thoughtful and appreciated. But the real highlight? The famous Jinjiang Peking Duck. The skin turns a perfect amber hue, crisp yet not greasy, served with a house-made dipping sauce that elevates every bite. The scallions are plump, juicy, and sweet—perfect for cutting through the richness. Service was exceptional too. The concierge greeted me warmly and even offered a vintage-style luggage cart to transport me from the VIP Pavilion to Jinbei Building—a small touch, but it added so much character to the experience. Located on the site of the original 1926-era Cathay Apartments (the same owner as Peace Hotel), the building’s white architectural lines remain strikingly elegant. Since its founding by Ms. Dong Zhujun in 1951, the hotel has welcomed hundreds of heads of state from over 20 countries worldwide—earning its reputation as China’s premier guesthouse for international dignitaries. The garden is spacious and serene, with a stunning lawn that feels like a private oasis. Cleanliness is top-notch, and the blend of timeless heritage with modern comfort makes this stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for authenticity, quality, and a bit of legacy, this place delivers—highly recommended.

Donghu Hotel Shanghai

This was my third stay at this historic hotel, and once again, the experience exceeded expectations. On December 28th, upon check-in, I noticed a faint smoky smell in the room—something I’m particularly sensitive to. I reached out to Mr. Yang at reception, and he responded immediately with genuine care. Without hesitation, he arranged a completely smoke-free room that was also spacious and well-appointed. His attentiveness made a big difference and truly reflected the hotel’s commitment to guest comfort. The breakfast was excellent—well-prepared, beautifully presented, and varied. A small suggestion: it would be great to have decaf coffee options available, especially for guests who are sensitive to caffeine or older travelers. Overall, the service is exceptional, the ambiance is timeless, and the value is outstanding. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a refined, welcoming stay in Shanghai.

Fenyang Garden Boutique Hotel

My stay at this hotel completely exceeded my expectations. I booked the terrace room, and the moment I opened the curtains, I was greeted by a stunning view of golden ginkgo trees — absolutely breathtaking. The hotel has a traditional aesthetic in its interior design, but the facilities feel modern and well-maintained. I originally chose it just because it's directly across from Shanghai Conservatory of Music for convenience during exam season, but ended up loving every minute of my stay. Room 215 features a private bathroom with excellent water pressure — super comfortable. I even managed to take some artistic photos of my daughter that turned out beautifully. The location is perfect — close to public transit and quiet enough to relax. A great value and a truly memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Anting Villa Hotel

I booked this charming old property in Anting during the Christmas season, a little nervous about potential outdated amenities and worn-out facilities. But honestly, my stay exceeded all expectations! The room was well-equipped, meeting standard four-star quality — everything I needed was there. The balcony, though not openable, offered breathtaking views that made every moment relaxing. Fresh towels and robes were provided, feeling brand new — better than some so-called 'new' four-star hotels I’ve stayed at recently. The hotel is incredibly quiet, giving you that true sense of living in a peaceful private villa. I ended up extending my stay without hesitation. This experience genuinely deserves a shoutout — rare for me to leave a review, but I couldn’t help it. Highly recommend for anyone seeking comfort, charm, and a serene escape in Shanghai.

Shanghai Zuoting Shangyuan Hotel

I’ve never expected a city hotel in Shanghai could feel so peaceful and authentic—my stay at Zuoting Shangyuan completely redefined what I thought a boutique urban retreat could be. Nestled in the quiet Taiyuan Road villa district, the moment you step through the gate, you’re greeted by lush greenery and a serene atmosphere that instantly calms the mind. The room design is a beautiful blend of old Shanghai charm and modern comfort—natural wood furnishings, rattan accents, flowing bed drapes, and antique pieces that tell stories. Every detail feels intentional and thoughtfully curated. What truly stood out was the breakfast experience: a beautifully presented all-vegan spread with fresh, creative dishes served on the outdoor terrace—pure joy for food lovers. And the nightly warm congee? A small but meaningful touch that brought warmth to my heart. The staff were genuinely attentive—friendly, professional, and always smiling without being overbearing. From check-in to check-out, their care made me feel welcomed like family. Plus, the location is fantastic—just a 10-minute walk to the metro, making it easy to explore nearby gems like Wukang Road and Hengshan Road. Strolling through the garden or snapping photos in the courtyard felt like stepping into a living postcard. If I ever return to Shanghai, this will be my first choice. A true hidden gem.
