Unlike the chain hotels in Shanghai’s bustling urban districts, Moon Lake Retreat is nestled within the tranquil Shanghai Sheshan National Tourism and Holiday Resort, quietly overlooking the lake at the foot of Sheshan Mountain. From your window, you’ll enjoy picturesque lake and mountain views, while towering sculptures stand like guardians encircling the lake, adjacent to the retreat.

▲ The warmth of wood sculpture design paired with marble walls creates a naturally harmonious aesthetic.

▲ In addition to the large-scale artistic sculptures by renowned artists from around the world located outside the retreat, you can also find thoughtfully placed artworks throughout the interior.

▲ Room 1’s living area, though eclectic, has a cozy “homey” feel.

▲ The lighting in the dining area instantly elevates the atmosphere, making it feel like you’ve stepped into an external lounge dining space.

▲ Room 2

▲ Room 3 (I especially love this design—the color scheme is full of spring vibes, and the bed frame with white sand curtains is my dream sleep haven)

▲%The private hot spring bath outside the room offers a serene soak while enjoying the surrounding scenery.〖/strong>

▲ This is the view—that iconic Moon Lake Retreat lakeside vista.

▲%You can also catch a glimpse of the lake from certain angles, adding to the room’s charm.〖/strong>

▲ The partition between the bedroom and bathroom is cleverly designed, creating a layered interplay of light that defines inside and outside spaces.

▲ Room 2’s family room.

▲ The details in the retreat’s rooms showcase a keen attention to quality and aesthetics. The ergonomic chairs and leather-made stationery and toiletry items all come together in a cohesive warm brown tone.


In culturally and culinarily diverse Shanghai, Moon Lake Retreat elevates the concept of lodging to another level. Travel is a joyful experience, but vacationing in an environment saturated with artistic ambiance is a sweet form of abundance. Step away from the fast-paced city and slow down to immerse yourself in a sanctuary of lifestyle and culture.
