This hotel was built in 1936 by Mr. Saxon, Chairman of the Jewish Confederation. In the 1930s it topped the European style buildings in the area with its Baroque semi-round tower. Today the business establishment offers a perfect blend of stylish taste and cultural heritage. Classical elegance mingles with modern brilliance in this 141-room hotel and unique grace glows in the state of the grandeur. The establishment offers its guests deluxe accommodation together with delicious food, vintage brews and leisure entertainment. On-site facilities include a 24-hour reception and check-out service and currency exchange facilities.

This city and business hotel neighbours the Bund to the east, the Yu Garden to the south, the People's Square to the west and the pedestrian Nanjing Road to the north.

The hotel is not only an expert in Shanghai-style cuisine but also in the cuisines of various regions. There are seven Chinese or western style private rooms, which are each elegant and magnificent in decor. A breakfast buffet is served daily and lunch and dinner are available from the set menus.
