This lavish, Baroque-style architectural gem, dating back to 1924, is the first purpose-built luxury apartment complex for expatriates in Shanghai. A colorful mosaic floor and dramatic white-and-green arched corridor welcome visitors into the historical building's first floor, which has been converted into a charming book store and cafe.
