The recommended hotel for a first-time trip to Shanghai has a rich historical feel

I frequently travel between Shanghai and Hangzhou, so I have stayed in many hotels in Shanghai. This time, because I brought friends from out of town, I specifically chose this hotel with a significant historical background. It is perfect for tourists who want to experience the history and culture of Shanghai. A while ago, the popularity of the novel 'Blossoms' also brought fame to the Peace Hotel. However, when it comes to classic hotels in Shanghai, the Jinjiang Metropolo Hotel YMCA is also one of them. Personally, I think it has a better cost-performance ratio and is conveniently located near People's Square and the Shanghai Museum, among other popular attractions. This hotel is also a famous historical building in Shanghai. Its history can be traced back to 1931 when it was formerly known as the 'Baxianqiao Christian YMCA Building.' It is a classic historical building that perfectly combines Western architecture with Chinese palace architectural styles, witnessing the historical changes of the city of Shanghai. Many celebrities have stayed at this hotel, such as Premier Zhou Enlai, Soong Ching-ling, and Chen Yi. The exterior and lobby of the hotel have a strong sense of age, as if you have traveled back to the 1930s old Shanghai. The luxurious Western-style crystal chandeliers and leather sofas are integrated into the Chinese palace-style ceilings and corridors, making this mix particularly striking. Rooms For quality, I highly recommend the Metropolitan Classic Room, which has a classical luxury atmosphere of old Shanghai. The parquet flooring with floral patterns has a strong sense of age. The price is about half that of the Peace Hotel, making it a 'Blossoms' alternative. Service The hotel lobby offers sour plum soup, lemon water, and free self-service coffee, which is a considerate touch.
