What are the special bars in Shanghai?

1. Living in a fairy tale: Mueller Villa Hotel

Original name: Moeller Villa.

Year of completion: 1920

Mahler started as a horse racer and eventually became a millionaire. However, the designer of this building is not Mahler himself or a famous architect, but Mahler's daughter. The little girl dreamed of the big house in Andersen's fairy tale at night. When she woke up, she told her father that Mahler had built this magnificent building with Nordic style according to her daughter's dream. From the beginning of construction to the final completion, Moller Villa took seven years.

Shanghai once opened many old buildings for free one day in May last year. Moller Villa is one of the most popular old houses, and the huge crowd almost packed the villa. It's so eye-catching that people won't feel bored after watching it for a month!

2. Domineering charm: Longbai Hotel

Original name: Sassoon Villa

Year of completion: 1932

This is another mansion of Sassoon. It has an inviolable expression with a huge garden. It is located in the suburb of Shanghai (on the edge of the outer ring) and tastes extraordinary. It is not gorgeous, but it is not rough at all. In short, you will inevitably like it at first sight.

This is a mansion with the flavor of an English country villa. The ground floor is masonry structure, the building is brick-wood structure, and the wooden frame is exposed in oil brown black. The exterior wall between the frames is light yellow, and the floor plane protrudes from the bottom exterior wall. The exterior wall at the bottom is a red brick drywall. The doors and windows are specially made of wood with furuncle scars, and the roof is very steep. The exterior wall is picked out and covered with red tiles, which is elegant in style. The plane of Sassoon Villa is irregular, with the south facing north and a large platform at the south entrance. After entering the door, it is equipped with an inner corridor and a hall. The middle and west sides are single-story buildings, with study, living room and dining room in the middle and two floors in the east. Sassoon bedroom is upstairs. Most of the indoor furniture is oak and teak, and the exquisite building hardware is handmade, which is very precious.

3. Little Princess in the House: Ruijin Hotel Taiyuan Branch

Original name: unknown

Year of completion: 1928

I don't know much about its history. Maybe it doesn't matter whether the history of such a beautiful house is clear or not. The key is that it is so eye-catching, which is enough. There are so many beautiful old houses in Shanghai that I hope the government will continue to strengthen protection. When a villa is demolished, one is missing. Do you have the heart?

4. Place to take wedding photos: Ruijin Hotel

Address: Ruijin Second Road 18

Original name: Mary Poetry Garden

Mary Poetry Garden covers an area of over 77,000 square meters. In addition to green grass, trees, flowers in four seasons, small bridges and flowing water, there are four elegant and noble villas. Today, Building 1 of Ruijin Hotel is Mary's own residence.

Mary Poetry Villa was one of the most beautiful private houses in Shanghai before liberation. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the former Mitsui Garden became a branch of the Kuomintang Third Line Regiment. In the south, the upper class of the Kuomintang lived first, and then the Shanghai branch of Inspirational Society. On the day of the liberation of Shanghai, the hunger-related cadres of the East China Bureau first lived in St. John's University and moved to Inspirational Society the next day. At the end of the year, the municipal government demolished several walls in the villa, restored it as a whole, and changed it into a state guesthouse to receive foreign heads of state and important people visiting Shanghai. In the 1980s, it was changed to Ruijin Hotel, and Marish Villa was built as Building 1 ... Because it has been used as a state guesthouse for a long time, most of the houses in the villa are well preserved and have the same charm.

5. Villa Village: Xingguo Hotel

Original name: unknown

Year of completion: 1920

There are more than a dozen villas like Xingguo Hotel, each of which is different and competing for beauty. It's really a waste of film here. It is said that all these houses were built by Americans, and more than a dozen buildings gathered in a huge garden to make peace. It must be very comfortable to stay in such a hotel.

6. Wonderful architectural movement: Xijiao Hotel

Original name: Yao Mansion, Huaiyin Road.

Year of completion: 1948

This villa imitates the design of American architect Wright's drowning villa. It is a two-story modern garden house with mixed structure, covering an area of 1.60 million square meters and a construction area of 93 1.88 square meters. Because of the architect's unique design concept and clever use of terrain, it is actually a two-story building, only one floor away from the ground. The exterior wall of the building is made of concrete imitation stone, so it is called "stone house", also known as "strange building" The movable skylight in the living room can introduce sunshine during the day and watch the moonlight night scene at night, so that the living room space and natural space can be integrated.

7. Turn over and be the host: Donghu Hotel

Original name: Du Mansion

Year of completion: 1925

Speaking of the former owner of this building, I'm afraid everyone knows: Du!

I think that when the tycoon himself eats black and white on the beach, he can only "take away a cloud" after his death. It was a French Renaissance garden house, which originally had two floors, but later it was added with one floor and turned into three floors. Boss Du's house is now occupied by ordinary people. I wonder how he feels. In addition, it used to be a commercial organization of the Soviet Union in Shanghai, and it is a cultural relic under special protection in Shanghai.

8. More noble than noble: Garden Hotel

Original name: French General Association

Year of completion: 1926

The Garden Hotel I saw with my own eyes was easily misunderstood at first. How was such a tall building built at that time? In fact, the original French general assembly is only a part of the current garden building, and the upper part was added later. Surprisingly, they are so perfectly combined.

It used to be the Garden Hotel of the French General Assembly, and even attracted French President Jacques Chirac to stay. Of course, Chirac is not the only head of state who lives here. Whenever the hotel welcomes distinguished guests, the flag of the corresponding country must be inserted on the flagpole in front of the hotel. Foreign flags are often inserted in front of the hotel, which makes the building look extremely noble. It is said that the hotel management is Japanese at present, and its price may be the most expensive among the ten hotels.

Harder color than steel: Jinjiang Hotel

9. Original name: Hua Mao Apartment

Year of completion: 1929

It just looks too strong! It is so high that people can't imagine that it is actually a building of 1929.

When this hotel is completed, it will only be used by British guests. The building itself is a traditional English style. It is not vertical and segmented, but straight up and down, which is very individual. It hosted Nixon and Reagan, as well as Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai.

But anyway, we ordinary people can live in it now.

10. Eyes on Huangpu River: Peace Hotel

Year of completion: 1929

Original name: Sassoon Building

This building standing on the Bund has been looking at the rolling Huangpu River with a determined expression. It has a strange smell: a huge green iron hat stands out. Since ancient times, this building has been the most eye-catching focus of the Bund. It was once rated as one of the top ten hotels in the world by World Hotel Organization 1992. Among them, the old jazz band is also famous all over the world. It seems that everything is so famous.

The tenth floor of the building used to be the residence of Shanghai real estate tycoon Sassoon. Standing on the protruding platform on the tenth floor, looking at the Huangpu River and the skyscrapers rising on the other side, can you imagine what it is like?
