Shanghai Zuoting Shangyuan Hotel

A nice boutique hotel located in a well preserved classic and old Shanghainese neighborhood. Busy neighborhood but lively

Oh I was so impressed by EVERYTHING… the beautifully adorned rooms, the water themed restaurant, the delicious vegetarian breakfast (and I mean delicious!) and the kind, attentive and knowledgeable staff. I had a massage by a lady who clearly knows her craft and I still feel better for it. My butler Chen was so helpful and always available for assistance, identifying my interest in all things history showing me different rooms and things in the hotel that would spark my interest. I will be recommending this hotel. What a wonderful discovery! Thank you so much for making it a very special and memorable experience (and only minutes walk from Shanghai Cultural Area).

The hotel is tugged in a quiet and beautiful street in SH, somewhere we have truly felt relaxed and recharged. One of the staff contacted us before we arrived to get the ETA. When we actually arrived, she saw us with a big suitcase and showed us another room that might suite us better. All the rooms were decorated differently, so they could really suit different needs from customers. We are impressed by the quality of the mattress, pillows, everything in the room really, and the breakfast!! The food is so delicately made and displayed. They asked my son if he would like some noodles as he was overwhelmed by the food and didn't know what to take at first. The noodles arrived so well-made and flavoursome, my son just loved it! We just felt like we were really well looked after. We would definitely return to the same hotel if we stay in SH again.

Based in a historic building in French Concession, it’s a good location with great staff. Hotel has a good spa and cool balcony. But rooms are Alice in Wonderland style bizarre, very cramped and almost feeling as if you’re camping (slanted ceilings, constant crouching).

Magnificent hotel!
