Protected national historic relic hotel in Shanghai's former French Concession
A Protected National Historic Landmark
Shanghai Moller Villa Hotel is housed in a northern European Norway-style building with over 80 years of history, designated as a National Historic and Cultural Relics Protection Building. The structure resembles a castle from a fairy tale, with turrets that once contained a brass telescope used to track Jupiter's moons in the 1930s. Stained glass windows crafted with medieval European techniques and a preserved wine cellar with brickwork from nearby 19th-century textile mills add to the building's heritage.
Rooms & In-Room Amenities
Each room at Moller Villa is equipped with a flat-screen TV with computer function and a private bathroom featuring a bathtub. Guests receive L'Occitane shower and body lotions, plus cotton sheets and a seating area with classic furnishings. Room keys are attached to weighted Nordic-style keychains, a tradition preserved from the hotel's original design.
Garden & Recreation
The hotel maintains a 21500 ft² garden, a rare green space in central Shanghai, where guests can stroll or relax. On-site recreation includes a fitness center and the option for relaxing body massages. Bicycle rental is available for guests who wish to explore the surrounding tree-lined streets of the former French Concession.
On-Site Dining Options
Lily's Restaurant serves a variety of local and international dishes, including a breakfast buffet with both Chinese and European options. A separate Japanese restaurant and a coffee bar provide additional dining choices within the hotel.
