I found the most French-style hotel in Shanghai!

Stepping into the Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao Xinhualian feels like being transported to a lazy afternoon in Provence. 🏛️ The European palace-like architecture features carved domes and gilded columns that exude elegance under the sunlight, creating a magazine-worthy atmosphere—the fountain area has a built-in vintage filter, and even the sculptures at the corners radiate artistic tension. 🍴 Le Xuan Chinese Restaurant is an unmissable delight. The chef uses seasonal ingredients to craft dishes like crystal-clear stir-fried river shrimp, each piece as translucent as crystal. The crispy black pepper beef cubes offer a rich, layered texture. 🍰 When the afternoon sunlight streams into the lofty lobby bar, the limited-edition chocolate afternoon tea becomes a luxurious treat for the taste buds—paired with specially brewed Earl Grey tea, it feels like sitting in a café on Paris's Left Bank. This summer, you don’t need to cross oceans—just head to Sofitel Shanghai Hongqiao Xinhualian for a French-style romantic rendezvous! Let the poetry of architecture, the richness of cuisine, and the laziness of the afternoon blend into a "Southern France moment" in your memories.
