What does old Shanghai look like in your heart? Speaking of old Shanghai, we have to mention Shikumen.

Shikumen is a new type of building that integrates the characteristics of Western culture and traditional Chinese houses. It is a residential house with Chinese characteristics. The Platinum Hotel·Shenwei is hidden in Shikumen. Come and explore this hotel in Shikumen with me.

It is located in Fuzili in Chuansha Ancient Town, which still retains the ancient streets and is the most lively place in Shanghai. Walking among them is like riding a time machine and returning to old Shanghai.

Opposite the hotel is the City God Temple, and 50 meters away are Guandi Temple, Chuansha Park, the former residence of Huang Yanpei and the former residence of Soong Ching Ling. There are also many Internet celebrity snack bars around, where you can eat the most authentic old Shanghai cuisine such as glutinous rice balls, wontons, scallion cakes, etc.

Republican Style Hotel Design

There are two doors to the hotel. The door is dark and has lion buckles on the fan. It is very solemn and full of traditional charm. I feel a strong Chinese complex before I even enter.

The lobby of the hotel is full of art, and the walls are hung with authentic works collected by the owner. As soon as you enter, you can see the four treasures of the study placed on the long table. If you are interested, you can write calligraphy and paint traditional Chinese painting, and have leisure and elegance., cultivate your character.

The hotel also has a tea table, where you can make tea and rest in the afternoon to sip tea and think about life. The hotel provides kung fu tea utensils, and you can also experience the traditional tea ceremony for yourself and feel its charm.

Chinese charm between bricks and tiles

The hotel rooms are named after Zili (hometown)+ room number, which is closely related to memories of old Shanghai and doubles the sense of intimacy. The design of the room number plate is also very distinctive. It is decorated with mahogany carvings and copper lion head door buckles. It is very exquisite. The door is decorated with customized copper strips, engraved with disciple rules, three-character scriptures, etc., which is full of cultural heritage, allowing guests traveling far away to feel the warmth of their hometown. If you bring children here, you can also let the children recite the sentences above., symbolizing the inheritance of Chinese culture. The hotel's corridors are paved with blue bricks from the Republic of China. In order to protect the floor, you need to wear embroidered shoes and walk around. This is also a very unique experience for the hotel.

The beauty of details is often the most touching thing. At the corner of the stairs, antique mahogany carvings "9 dragons playing with beads" are carved. Walking up, collected antique fritillaria inlaid wood carvings hang on the walls of the corridor, which always makes you feel full of classical charm, as if walking in the past. On the blue stone road. There is also a fritillaria mosaic design on the back of the stairs, and some rooms also have this design. It is low-key and luxurious, but also looks clean and tidy. The floor tiles of the room's porch are in a style that combines Chinese and Western patterns. They are laid one by one instead of the whole brick, giving a full sense of design. Famous calligraphy and paintings are also hung in the bedroom, which makes you immerse yourself in the artistic atmosphere. Hat's favorite thing is the makeup mirror in my own room. The shape is unique and it is very convenient to make up while sitting. The bathroom design is also great, the washstand is very creative, and the toilet is also a smart flush toilet.

This time, Haomao stayed in a business queen room. In addition, there was also a suite and a single-family villa. The suite is very spacious and has a unique design. It feels like entering another space when you enter. There is also a fireplace, which makes it very warm in winter. The first floor of the single-family villa is a living room, which has a large dining table, which can also be used as a guest place for private banquets. There is also a guqin. You can light a fragrance and play the guqin. Time passes quietly under the notes on your fingertips.

Unique taste buds experience

What I have to say is that the hotel's catering, from breakfast to afternoon tea to dinner, is worth talking about one by one.

Breakfast is a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine. What makes me miss the most is the bowl of hot wontons made by the chef himself and the creamy steamed buns that are overflowing with fragrance in one bite. Afternoon tea is also a must-experience. A variety of exquisite desserts make you dizzying, and you can't help but eat it. A cup of pear soup makes you feel refreshed. Dinner is Western food, every dish is very delicious, and the dishes are beautifully presented and full of art.

Private customized housekeeper service

The hotel also has very thoughtful housekeeper services. After you make a reservation, the housekeeper will send a reservation confirmation letter via SMS/mobile terminal letter three days in advance, warning the temperature and air quality of the home place, and asking if you need to arrange a pick up/whether you have a special birthday anniversary/whether there are children and elderly people traveling with you, etc.

Hat arrived at the hotel in the morning. The hotel not only provided luggage carrying services, but also prepared a handwritten welcome card in the room and a bowl of hot wontons as a gift, making the hat feel the warmth of home when the cold wind blew. By the way, breakfast can be delivered to your room the next day. It's really thoughtful. If you want to go to Disney, the hotel can also send you to play for free, and there is also a drop-off service. If you have the opportunity, you must go and stay there. It's such a hotel with the style of old Shanghai ~
