Founded in 1927 and regarded as the "Villa of Dreams", this Norwegian-style hotel has almost 100 years of history in the city of Shanghai. It was originally a private residence for a British merchant prince and since it's been open to the public, it's become a distinct example of a cohesive blend of eastern and western architecture — especially amongst the city's modern skyscrapers.

This drone image was taken of the Hengshan Moller Villa Hotel in Shanghai.
To launch your drone from the property of the hotel, you must be a staying there. I recommend launching from across the street (Shaanxi Road) on the lawn directly west of the entrance to the Children's Art Theatre of China Welfare Institute to get the same perspective without trespassing on private grounds.
