Our three-story 1939 garden lane house belonged to the
family of a Chinese medical doctor. Three generations grew up and grew old in this house, witnessing the World War II, the beginning of New China, the Cultural Revolution, and the transformation of modern-day Shanghai.

Much of the house's original art deco designs have been preserved, with some spaces creatively adapted to suit modern living.  Upon entering our front garden, an oasis of green welcomes you.  On the ground floor is our dining room where breakfast is served daily.  In the attached lounge area, you can use the courtesy house computer and browse through our selection of books, magazines, and DVD's.  The Oriental Pearl suite is also located on the ground floor with a glass sitting room looking out to the garden. On the second and third floors are our four guestrooms, Grand Cathay, Joffre, Bubbling Well, and Fleur de Shanghai. On the top floor is a unique loft room, Aurora, as well as a pleasant rooftop terrace, where guests can soak up the sun or just chill out.
