At 58 South Maoming Road in Shanghai, a 30,000 square metre tranquil and charming French garden unfolds in the heart of the city. Next to the garden, an elegant and legendary building that transcends time, the Garden Hotel Shanghai, like a delicate French rose, radiates an intoxicating charm and fragrance in the midst of lush greenery.

The old baroquestyle building on the podium of the hotel, which is located in the distance from the Jinjiang Hotel and connected to the bustling Huaihai Road, used to be one of the three main clubs in Shanghai, the French Club, and witnessed the prosperous times of this former Yangjing Beach. At the end of the 1980s, the 33storey modern main building rose from the ground, perfectly combined with the podium building, and transformed into one of the earliest Sinoforeign joint venture luxury hotels in Shanghai, inheriting the city‘s legendary splendour and opening a brand new chapter in the hotel industry.
