Hidden Luxury in Shanghai! Immersive Experience at the Moller Villa Hotel

During my trip to Shanghai, I chose to stay at the legendary Moller Villa Hotel, and it truly exceeded my expectations! This Nordic-style mansion, originally built by British tycoon Eric Moller as a dream castle for his daughter, has now been transformed into a boutique hotel. Every detail here tells a story of the opulence of old Shanghai. Stepping into the lobby, the high vaulted ceiling and vintage crystal chandeliers immediately create a noble ambiance. The staff are impeccably dressed, polite, and maintain a perfect balance of warmth without being overly enthusiastic—just the right touch of elegance. My room retained its original European-style carved furniture, complemented by modern amenities, offering both historical charm and comfort. The balcony was the highlight; in the morning, I could overlook the lush garden, and at night, I enjoyed a distant view of the dazzling skyline of Lujiazui. The blend of eras was truly mesmerizing. The restaurant is a must-try, offering both Shanghainese cuisine and Western-style brunch. I particularly recommend the braised pork and freshly baked croissants, which are refined and far from ordinary. The hotel also provides free bicycle rentals, allowing guests to explore the nearby Jing’an Villa area and experience the local charm of old Shanghai—a delightful adventure. If you’re looking to experience Shanghai’s unique blend of history and modern luxury, the Moller Villa Hotel is undoubtedly your top choice!
