Couple hotels evolved from theme hotels, with the first couple hotel originating in the United States, before flourishing in Japan and Korea. Especially in Japan, even under severe economic recession, couple hotels can achieve an annual output value of 40 billion US dollars. Due to cultural and policy differences, domestic couple hotels in China are hard to compare with those in Japan and Korea in terms of scale and facilities, and those that claim to be couple hotels are even fewer, belonging to a niche market. Domestic couple hotels mainly appear in the form of couple rooms in theme, boutique, and fashion hotels.
Shanghai retains the exquisite and romantic memories of old Shanghai. PuD Residence Boutique Hotel is located at the intersection of Yandang Pedestrian Street, which is full of French charm, and Nanchang Road, facing the French-style garden park – Fuxing Park. This area is the location of the old French Concession and is also the most characteristic and tasteful area of Shanghai. The hotel opened in 2007, initially managed by the famous French Accor Group, a model that has been continued to this day. In 2009, the hotel was named “Best Boutique Hotel of the Year” by Travel + Leisure, and PuD Residence is considered one of the best boutique hotels in Shanghai in terms of location and service, truly deserving of its top position.
The target audience for domestic couple hotels is couples, spouses, and lovers, traditionally marketed for their cheap ambiguous lighting and large round beds. However, PuD Residence Boutique Hotel elevates its style without any sense of cheapness. PuD Residence possesses the ultimate charm reminiscent of the movie “In the Mood for Love,” retaining the oriental charm of old Shanghai. The overall decoration of the hotel uses classic and understated cool colors, supplemented by strong metallic colors, with decoration materials chosen as lacquer and red copper, and furniture in dark brown, combining traditional elements with modernity, classical yet exquisitely luxurious. The warm and dim lighting makes the room somewhat tender and intimate.
Privacy, hardware, and facilities are where PuD Residence shines the most. The hotel entrance is located in a small alley next to a ground-floor café, very discreet, and going upstairs requires a room card to take the elevator. The hotel has a total of 52 guest rooms, with the smallest room area being over 50 square meters, a rarity in land-scarce Shanghai. The layout of each guest room is unique, with original oil paintings by different artists hanging on the walls, very thoughtful. The rooms use King Koil mattresses, with each bed equipped with a small bed table for placing tea cups and food. Near the door, there is a mini kitchen, with a microwave and kettle available for direct use. The most distinctive feature is that each guest room has a 19 square meter large bathroom, containing a specially customized shanghai escorts massage bathtub, and equipped with five types of aromatherapy shower gels, allowing for a SPA-like service even when alone. It is worth mentioning that the hotel provides L’Occitane toiletries, not cheap bulk shampoo and shower gel. In addition, PuD Residence is one of the few boutique hotels in Shanghai that allows pets, with customers only needing to book a pet room.
In terms of price, booking through the official website ranges from 1577-3977 yuan/night without breakfast, with a 15% service charge per room. It is recommended to choose the 1577 yuan deluxe room. The hotel’s dining is average and not recommended; it is better to walk 5 minutes to Yandang Road pedestrian street for meals. Booking through other online service providers may offer better room rates, but make sure to check if refunds are available for last-minute cancellations. The parking lot is located in the underground garage, with limited parking spaces, so it’s advisable to go early.
PuD Residence’s service philosophy is to provide close to butler-style service to its guests, so there’s no need to worry about the service attitude. PuD Residence Boutique Hotel was once listed as one of the SLH (Small Luxury Hotels of the World) but was removed due to the age of renovation and inadequate maintenance, gradually revealing its shortcomings. When checking in, pay attention to whether there is a smell from the sewer, and if there is a problem, you can contact the hotel front desk to change rooms.
