Ruijin Hotel

Located in the former French Concession of Shanghai, the Ruijin Hotel is a garden hotel offering a peaceful environment and picturesque surroundings.

The four buildings which house the guestrooms and various banquet and meeting halls were all designed in traditional British style, and most of them were built in the 1920s or '30s. The hotel's park-like environment includes about 100 acres of lush lawns, ponds, and small wooden bridges in a Japanese-style garden. Also, gazebos, pavilions, and a spectacular marble fountain can be found here.

The hotel offers several choices of rooms, deluxe and executive rooms as well as suites, in varying styles, from antique to modern. In addition, we have many sizes of function rooms available for meetings and banquets.

Staying at the hotel, you are within walking distance of the bustling shopping area of Huai Hai Road and historic landmarks, such as Dr. Sun Yat-Sen's residence. Several excellent restaurants offering various cuisines such as Chinese, Thai, Indian and Fusion dishes are all on the hotel grounds; the famous Face Bar is also located here.

Tai Yuan Villa is a branch of the Ruijin Hotel. It is also located in the former French Concession, only a short drive from the hotel. This beautiful residence includes nineteen guestrooms and seventeen serviced apartments in an enchanting and peaceful setting. The villa also has a gym, squash court, and an indoor swimming pool.

The Benjamin Morris family estate, now the Ruijin Hotel, is comprised of four houses, numerous outbuildings and ornate gardens covering almost 100 acres. One of the earliest"Temples" in Shanghai is located on the grounds. On the vast lawn of Building Number 1, history buffs can find "the original Archway entrance to the Temple along with the Stone Lions that guarded the entrance". The Morris family owned the North China Daily News, the oldest English-language newspaper in China. They also bred racing dogs and owned "Canidrome" (a dog racing track) located just across the street at the rear of the property.

Face bar
Face Bar, the very famous and popular bar located in Building Number 4, creates the sense of a caravanserai, a place where people socialize in the great tradition of resting places for traders along the silk road. Though he camel has given way to the boat, train, plane, and car, the needs of travelers do not change. A warm welcome, a secure stopping place, and the opportunity to talk, relax, and drink with friends and fellow traders still draws people here from far and wide. Face Bar is filled with many unique cultural artifacts which are predominantly Chinese, including raised Chinese beds, as an inn on the silk route would have, but undoubtedly more luxurious.
