4. Exquisite boutique hotel reminiscent of old China

Originally designed by French architect Lafayette in 1932, the Mansioin Boutique Hotel is China's first deluxe City Heritage Boutique Hotel. With its unique historical heritage, the hotel captures the essence of old Shanghai, a period when this great city was considered the ‘Paris of the Orient'. The villas design reflects this wonderful era gone by with its graceful fusion of Classic French and Asian architecture that makes the Mansion Hotel a city heritage landmark in Shanghai.
