Shanghai Historic Houses

As a business traveller, when I go to a hotel, I crave familiarity, as there are often enough surprises at work. At the Radisson Xing Guo, I had high expectations, check-in process was smooth and the room was nice. However, when I came back after work, the dirty cups were still inside my room and when I called down to front desk, they sent replacement glasses from room service without any spoons after a long wait. On my second day returning from work, there was only half the normal nunber of bottles of water. The continuous little errors were unfortuante as I never knew what else would go wrong. Hotel overall was nice, and should definitely spend more time training room servicing staff.

Very happy to have stayed here for my first ever trip in China. The hotel staff were all very courteous and kind, the room was comfy and clean and everyone was really friendly and caring. Breakfast was yummy too and their tea :) I would love to come back again! Thanks to their amazing team!!!!

I was able to experience what a luxury hotel is ♥️ It was a great place to welcome the new year of 2025. I could use an entire 3-story house in the style of old Shanghai, and it felt like I was in a village. Everything was perfect from the moment of check-in to check-out. Right after check-in, they accompanied me and gave me detailed and kind guidance from the way to the 1st to 3rd floor (+ rooftop). The staff were all professional and had affection and pride for Capella, which was nice. They thoughtfully recommended restaurants nearby because it was New Year's Day on January 1st, and they said they would help me with everything I needed. The room condition was also the best, and the welcome food, cake, was very delicious. It was secretly convenient that there were two bathrooms. I could control the sunlight with curtains on the windows, and the traditional Shanghai candy, traditional comics, and wooden bookshelf(?) that they gave me as a souvenir were impressive. The first floor door and small terrace(?) were also so beautiful and nice. I also liked that the living room and bedroom were on completely different floors. Usually, other hotels clean the room when you stay for more than 2 nights, but they cleaned the room meticulously every time you left. At first, I didn't think they would clean the room because it was only for 1 night, so I was a little surprised, but when I asked, they said they clean it meticulously every time you leave. The mother-of-pearl minibar was really nice. The library was also nice, and the chocolate was delicious! I was also able to eat breakfast at Pierre Gagnaire, and I was glad to have enjoyed Pierre Gagnaire in Korea. However, since I ordered a Chinese menu at a French restaurant, the breakfast wasn't that great! Hahaha Next time, I think it would be better to choose a French menu or just eat dinner. They even gave me a gift when I checked out, and even called a taxi for me. Although it was only for a day, I felt like a Chinese princess (?) I want to go on my next trip and visit other Capellas. Thank you♥️

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.

The service is very good, must praise! The hotel is in the lively ancient town, and the noise outside the door is quiet as soon as you enter the door. The hotel converted from an ancient house, the antique buildings under the huge camphor tree, are refreshing! It is also very convenient to play in the ancient town. The lunch and dinner included in the set meal are very rich and delicious. It is a good experience. I will stay here next time I go to the ancient town👍

Stayed in the classical business room at the end of the corridor. spacious, quiet and had a good street view. A bit dated but amenities provided are not bad. The bathroom sliding doors are quite transparent and unable to fully shut. Hence, bathroom is quite drafty in the cold winter. Location wise is of course superb.

WOW, the hotel and staff are incredible. We have stayed at the Peace Hotel several times over the years and have always been well taken care of. This time was even more special as we got engaged here! I reached out to staff, who were more than accommodating in helping me plan the perfect proposal. A huge appreciation to Lily, Gordon, and the whole Fairmont Gold team for going above and beyond in making our stay one we will always remember. We stayed in the American Suite, and it was pure old world charm. Having stayed in luxury hotels world wide, I can truly say that this hotel and service is one of a kind! We can't wait for our next stay!

A wonderful second stay at this gorgeous boutique hotel! It's my new favourite place in the city. The service is amazing, the rooms are lovely and clean, and it's in an amazing location. Very comfortable beds and lovely little touches in the room (fruit, sandalwood soap etc). It was perfect for Christmas weekend.

Hotel located on a prestigious area with public transportation available in a walkable distance. Hotel recently renovated looks modern and well maintained. Room was spacious, clean and updated in recent technologies. Friendly staff and easy check-in/out process.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Shanghai Yangtze Hotel! The service was good to ensure a comfortable and pleasant experience. The hotel's location is unbeatable—conveniently situated near key attractions, shopping areas, and public transport, making it incredibly easy to explore the city. A special shoutout to Regina, who truly made our trip memorable with her fantastic recommendations and helpful information about local attractions. Her thoughtful assistance added a personal touch to our stay that we greatly appreciated. The rooms were clean and spacious added to the overall experience.
