"The edgy, pared-back appeal of this former 1930s factory is exactly the draw for the modish, designer crowd that frequently books the 19-room boutique property."

"Formerly the Morris Estate, the preserved villas here showcases how opulently tai-pan (expatriate millionaire businessmen) lived in Shanghai's 1920s and 30s."
