Hengshan Picardie

This business hotel was built in 1934 with an artistic European-style design and can look back on more than 70 years of history. Having a reputation in the Far East as an 'International Mansion', the hotel was the tallest building with a typical Art Deco design in the south-west of Shanghai at that time. It offers guests a bird's-eye view of the city below and looks like an eagle opening its wings, creating an imposing towering monument. The classic European architecture carries profound historical significance. As one of the 6 most famous old hotels in Shanghai, the hotel was widely known all over the world for having accommodated celebrities, administrators and merchants. Many other features are a superb representation of the modern day architecture in Shanghai. The air-conditioned airport hotel offers 239 rooms in total and welcomes its guests in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out services, a hotel safe, currency exchange facilities, a cloakroom and lift access to the upper floors. There is also a hairdressing salon, café and restaurant. Guests may take advantage of the conference facilities, wireless Internet access, room and laundry services (fees apply for both), and a car park.
