I'd like to recommend a special hotel in Shanghai

💫 I didn’t do any research before checking in, thinking it was a grand star-rated hotel, only to find out it’s a charming old Western-style house with just 9 rooms. It’s super close to the Bund—just two streets away—quiet yet conveniently located. Downstairs, there’s a book filled with records of celebrity guests, though I can’t remember a single one…

💫 Breakfast is a pre-selected Chinese or Western set menu delivered to your room at the scheduled time. There’s no elevator; carrying your suitcase up the creaky spiral staircase takes some effort, especially if you’re on the third floor. The key opens the door, and the room is spacious with an incredibly comfortable bed that ensured a dreamless night. Lying there, I couldn’t help but imagine classic scenes. The mirror has a self-heating feature, so it doesn’t fog up when washing your face—a thoughtful touch.

💫 Aesthetics score: 99 points; overall stay experience: 90 points.
