88 Xintiandi Executive Residence

This 50 room, 7 storey boutique hotel is an Oasis of calm and elegance amongst Shanghai’s bustling skyscraper blocks.

Strategically placed on the edge of the fashionable Xintiandi shopping and restaurant precinct and across the road from a beautiful park and lake.

My wife and I walked comfortably from the hotel to view the impressive collection of artefacts in the Shanghai museum. On another occasion we strolled from the hotel through the beautiful Fuxing park (laid out by the French in days past), into the old French Concession area. Here we viewed the homes of Chou En Lai and Sun Yat Sen, the founder of modern China.

Our room at 88 Xintiandi was extremely spacious and very tastefully decorated, in a modern style but using many traditional Chinese elements. Free Internet cable connection in the room, plus free Wifi in the hotel enabled us to keep up to date with e-mails – even when eating breakfast, overlooking the park.

The hotel personnel, led by resident manager Jocelyn Yu, were all most attentive and helped us with all our varied requests concerning, places of interest, shopping, tailoring, Mandarin tips and “where to buy muffins”. (A plate of freshly-baked assorted muffins magically appeared in our room a few hours later!).
