PEI Mansion Hotel (Shanghai)

Style et atmosphère de l’hôtel

Located in the busy Jing'an district of north-central Shanghai, the PEI Mansion Hotel (Beixuan Dagongguan) is the former residence of famed architect I.M. Pei's family. Built in 1934, the Modernist Art Deco-inflected building was designed for the family of I.M. Pei (best known for the Louvre Pyramid in Paris), who resided there until the end of the 1940s. The hotel's 25 guestrooms and suites combine contemporary and classic '30s-inspired design, with an emphasis on quality touches (down-filled bedding, multi-nozzle rain showerheads, Jacuzzi, and more) and personalized, boutique-style service. The hotel retains the distinctive style of the times and is home to many vintage antiques from the 1930s. The hotel's interior design keeps with the modernist Jazz Age aesthetic of late Concession-era Shanghai as well, boasting beautifully finished wood, stone and metal surfaces and bold patterns; elegant Chinese-style furnishings complete the picture. Despite its location in the heart of one of Shanghai's busiest shopping and dining districts, the hotel grounds and rooms are peaceful behind the compound's walls, surrounded by carefully maintained gardens. Inside, a magnificent spiraling "dragon" staircase greets visitors beneath the stunning original glass ceiling. Chinese and western cuisine and room service are available to hungry guests and a coffee shop and bar are also on the grounds.Guests can use the meeting facilities as well as the ticket office and airport pickup service.
