The hotel is very well located and beautiful. We live in Shanghai and had been curious about it. The tour was in Chinese but since I read the book available at the hotel I was able to see the different areas. When the guide spoke I turned on my translator and was able to follow along. Ethan at the front desk was amazing he was very helpful and kind. He made our stay a memorable one.

We’ve always been intrigued by this hotel. We enjoyed the rich history of the place. This is reflected by the intricate details found throughout the hotel—beautiful wood parquet, stained glass, etc. Our room was great, and the bathroom has luxe sundries and facilities (Dyson hairdryer, heated toilet seat, bidet). Included in our room is the access to the Executive Lounge, which offers beverages (canned drinks, a bottle of red and white wine, a bottle of liquor, coffee and tea) and an assortment of packaged snacks, biscuits, and pastries. We didn’t take the tour because they don’t offer it in English. The breakfast was just ok.

Moller Villa is a hotel I will recommend strongly to stay if you visit Shanghai. The architecture is unique and well furnished interior. You should join in the guided tour at 10am daily to learn more about the history of the building and their owners.

Lovely villa in the centre of Shanghai. Be careful though, there is an old villa and a new addition. You want to be sure to stay in the old building.

The building is very special, it’s obviously got character but well the inside is very dated, some of the fixtures are not very well detailed for example the shower has some screws coming off and well it’s an old building so it’s understandable, the breakfast was good so was the coffee but half of the staff was friendly and half was a bit careless. It was a good experience.

The Shanghai Hengshan Group Moller Villa Hotel (Shanghai Hengshan Male Bieshu Fandian) is a castle-like villa hotel located at the intersection of Shaanxi Road and Yan'an Road in Shanghai. It was founded in 1927, completed in 1936 and served as the residence for merchant Prince, Eric Moller.
Legend has it that Moller commissioned this unique northern European Norwegian style villa to be built after his daughter had a dream where she saw a castle like those in Hans Andersen fairy tales and sketched it. As it turns out, this is not true, Moller was a wealthy Sweedish British businessman who took over the family shipping business and built the house for his family of six and their pets.
After the Mollers left Shanghai in 1950, the villa was occupied by the Japanese, an espionage agency, was used as the site for a corruption investigation and on and off as a hotel. In 2009 it was re-opened again to guests.
This Shanghai hotel has 43 authentic European-style luxury rooms and suites that come well-equipped with satellite TVs, high-speed Internet access and mini bars.
The restaurant and bar offer excellent Western, Chinese and Japanese food and the coffee shop offers drinks and great views of the 2,000 sq m (2,392 sq yd) garden. Guests can find in the garden bronze statues of Moller's race horse, Blonic Hill (said to have made him a lot of money), and his dog.
The banquet hall and conference rooms have various services making them a sound choice for business receptions and meetings. A business center is also available, along with free parking and a ticket office.
When it comes time to relax, guests at this Shanghai hotel can use the fitness facilities, get a massage or venture to the nearby commercial centers, the Bund or other parts of the city via the convenient metro stations.
