Taiyuan Villa Review

Run by the same folks at the Ruijin Hotel, this villa is a more peaceful and possibly nicer option than the Ruijin. Also known as the Marshall House for American general George Marshall who stayed here between 1945 and 1949 when he was mediating between Mao Zedong and Chiang Kai-shek, this magnificent mansion, originally built in 1920, was one of many homes of Jiang Qing (also known as Mme. Mao) between 1949 and 1976. Today this storied villa has dark wood paneling, a grand circular stairwell, and large, comfortable rooms (now carpeted and adorned with classical furniture and comfortable beds). Villa guests can use the pool and business center in the new, modern annex that usually caters only to long-term guests. The grounds are some of the quietest you'll find in central Shanghai.

Facilities:
Restaurant; concierge; fitness center; indoor pool; room service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
