Situated in the western suburbs of Shanghai at Hongqiao, Sassoon Villa is a quintessential English countryside villa. It features a burnt sienna tile roof, black and white exposed wooden structures, a light and elegant yellowish wall, and a quaint British-style chimney, exuding a tranquil and dignified aura of a British gentleman.
Sassoon, a British national, was one of the earlier foreign adventurers in Shanghai and a real estate tycoon in the 1930s. His properties once spanned across the Bund of Shanghai, including the three-story Sassoon House on the Bund (now the North Building of the Peace Hotel), the Riverside Building on the north bank of Suzhou River, the Capital Building on Jiangxi Road (now the New City Hotel), and the Hamden Building (now the Fuzhou Building), the 13-story Cathay Apartment on Maoming Road (now the southern part of the Jin Jiang Hotel), the 18-story Greenway Apartments (now the Maoming Apartments), the lane houses on South Shaanxi Road, and the Verdun Garden, among others.
The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s operational conditions.
