Lonely Planet review
Stuffed with history (and perhaps a ghost or two), this august old-timer shakes up an impressive cocktail from select ingredients: a location just off the Bund, old-world, Shànghǎi-era charm, great discounts and colossal rooms. There’s enough wood panelling to build an ark, you could shunt a bed into the capacious bathrooms, while the original polished wooden floorboards, corridors and galleries (the forlorn-looking Richard’s Bar and massage parlours aside) pitch the mood somewhere between British public school and Victorian asylum. Some of the rooms on the higher floors have river views. Only partial wi-fi cover; broadband is ¥60 per day. Discounts of 40%.
