The dark-framed exterior gives way to minimalist interiors done in pale wood and white walls, greenery tucked into corners and common areas.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked into a residential Minhang street near Caohejing, the guesthouse sits a short metro ride from Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport.
The rooms
Interiors favor quiet simplicity with pale wood, clean white walls, linen accents, and potted plants tucked into uncluttered corners.
Yoga and gym
Courtyard yoga sessions take place by the stone garden, alongside a 24-hour fitness room with cardio and weight equipment.
At the table
The Yard Bistro opens onto the garden, pouring daytime coffee and serving made-to-order Shanghainese pork chop noodles.
