What are some interesting places in Shanghai Capital Hotel to recommend punch points?

Shanghai is a city full of history, and there are many old buildings here that are suitable for punching in at weekends. The Bund Hotel in Jinjiang, a classic new city in Shanghai, is one of them. Its architectural style is unique and full of historical sense. Let's look at some interesting places here.

The intersection of Jiangxi Middle Road and Fuzhou Road forms a special intersection. At the four corners of the intersection, there are four historic buildings built in the 1920s and 1930s respectively, which constitute the street space with distinctive features in the historic district of Shanghai. Among them, two sister buildings with symmetrical layout and basically the same elevation are even more spectacular. Today, let's take a look at one of the Capital Hotels (now known as Jinjiang Capital Classic Shanghai New Town Bund Hotel).

The building itself

Capital Hotel is located in the northeast of the intersection of Jiangxi Middle Road and Fuzhou Road. It was designed in 1929 and completed in 1934. Covering area 133 1 m2, building area 10540.2 m2. It has a steel frame structure system, underground 1 floor, above-ground 14 floor, and the building height is 49.98m m. Buildings with more than eight floors retreat from the platform, forming a sense of towering; The exterior walls of the floors along the street are granite, and there are typical decorative art patterns on the main entrance, the top floor of the building and the eaves of the tower. It is a high-rise hotel building with early modern architectural style with decorative art elements.

This building is one of the typical representative works of Yang Hanghe * * * among the high-rise buildings in Shanghai Concession in the 20th century. Since the completion of 1934, it has been one of the tallest and most luxurious hotels in Shanghai at that time, and was once the leading place of "urban fashion".

Hamilton Building, originally located at Jiangxi Middle Road 180 and adjacent to the building 170, belongs to British Commercial New Sassoon Group. Located on both sides of Fuzhou Road, these two buildings are sister buildings built at the same time, with symmetrical layout and the same elevation. Together with the buildings located at the four corners of the same street corner and the former Ministry of Industry building, they retreat at the street corner to form a concave arc-shaped outer wall and set up the main entrance of the street corner. Through the combination of road space and architectural interface, they form a unique street central space, which has important research value in the history of Shanghai streets.

The building is an excellent case of adopting advanced structural system, construction technology and building materials. Deep pile structure was applied earlier in Shanghai architecture. Through the effective control of the construction process, the adjacent Jincheng Bank Building was not affected, and the building construction was completed in only one year. The advanced all-steel structure system is adopted, and the wall adopts the leading "steam mud brick" produced by British merchant ship China steam mud brick company. It not only has the advantage of light weight, but also its tiny pore structure improves the thermal insulation and sound insulation performance of the wall.

Since the building was opened in 1935, 1958 to 1964 only allocated to Shanghai Chemical Industry Bureau for office use, and used as a hotel for a long time. 1964 When the hotel business resumes, it will be managed by Jinjiang Group. At 1988, 2000, 20 13-20 16, it was renovated and maintained for many times.

1994, Capital Hotel was announced as the second batch of outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai.

Building maintenance

After more than 80 years of use and previous renovation, the building has some problems, such as dirty outdoor environment, lack of external wall details, outdated electromechanical and fire-fighting systems. Its architectural functions, decoration standards and facilities can no longer meet the needs of modern hotels. Therefore, since 20 13, the building has been completely renovated. The key protection parts in the transformation are the overall environment of the building, the east-west facade and basic plane layout, the original basement bar, the lobby on the ground floor, the lobby and dining room on the first floor, the "Zilai Hall", the original stairs, fireplace, wrought iron railings and other special details.

Exterior wall and interior decoration details with unique decorative art style are the most important parts in architectural history.

The semi-circular arch with three concave doorways side by side at the main entrance is decorative and reflects the characteristics of the times. It is an important part of the historical memory of the ground floor lobby space.

2. basement bar

The basement bar has red brick arch coupons, inlaid glass windows and solid wood beam wall protection. Its simple and natural style was once a well-known public activity place in Shanghai. Among them, bars, wrought iron windows, wall lamps, wine barrels and wall bricks are all historical relics.
