About Okura Garden Hotel Shanghai (5 Star)
Conveniently located in the heart of Shanghai, the 5-star Hotel Okura Garden Hotel Shanghai incorporates top-class hospitality with a wealth of ultra-modern amenities. The Hotel consists of an old wing and a new tower. The history of the old wing traces back to the 1926 when the building was constructed as the French Club under the French Concession in the 20's, by the French architects, along the main boulevard of the French Concession, Avenue Joffre, now which is called Huai Hai Zhong Road. The restored public areas of the former French Club reflect the history and splendor of 1920s Art Deco architecture and the original 1926 oval Grand Ballroom with spectacular stained glass ceiling prove this hotel was and still is as elegant as she looks. It was also the residence for Mao Ze Dong, the Chairman of the Chinese Communist party, in the late 50's and early 60's.
