Metropole htl with 137 rooms, first opened in 1930, it was distinctive ?????? even among the lavish foreign-styled buildings of the day. This was partly due to its Baroque semi-round tower and other delightful period architectural features, but also thanks to its perfect position in the heart of Shanghai's downtown area. Neighboring the Bund on the east, the historic Yu Garden on the south, People's Square on the west, and the Nanjing Road pedestrian shopping street on the north, the Metropole is a truly unbeatable address for leisure and business visitors to Shanghai. More than 70 years later, the Shanghai Metropole Hotel blends the high style and cultural heritage of a bygone era with modern convenience. The hotel's first class accommodation is combined with delicious food, fine leisure and entertainment facilities and a commitment to service that reflects its long-held position as a Shanghai hospitality landmark.
