Xingguo Hotel was formerly Xingguo Guest House, and was officially renamed Xingguo Hotel in 1979. Now the full name of Xingguo Hotel is "Radisson Hotel Shanghai Xingguo", which occupies a huge area surrounded by Huashan Road in the north of the west, Xingguo Road in the east and Hunan Road in the south. It has a unique garden of more than 71,111 square meters in the city and is one of the rare garden villa hotels in Shanghai.

It is also the largest villa group in downtown Shanghai, with more than 21 villas with different styles, most of which were built in the 1921s and 1931s, including English country villas, French-style houses and Spanish-style houses.

in the 1931s, the global economic crisis broke out. This economic crisis, which started on Wall Street, made Shanghai, then the financial center of the Far East, unable to be immune. According to the records, in 1934 alone, 425 national capital enterprises in Shanghai closed down, and the number of unemployed people grew day by day. At the same time, the outbreak of the economic crisis also gave some far-sighted capitalists a good opportunity to buy land at a low price-the No.1 building of Xingguo Hotel, which is the product of this special era. Building No.1 was built by the British businessman Taikoo Foreign Firm, whose position is similar to that of today's chief representative of multinational companies in China.

Building No.1 is a luxury headquarters building established by Swire Foreign Firm in Shanghai. After its completion, Building No.2 and Building No.3 were built as staff residences for senior staff and their families at that time. At present, Building No.1 of Xingguo Hotel is an outstanding historical building in Shanghai, while Buildings No.2 and No.6 are outstanding historical buildings in Shanghai and cultural relics protection sites in Changning District, while Buildings No.3 and No.7 are cultural relics protection sites in Changning District.

There is a saying in old Shanghai that "Taikoo Circle" refers to the land surrounded by Leishangda Road, Haige Road and Zhuerdian Road (now Xingguo Road, Huashan Road and Hunan Road). Swire foreign firm has built many "staff houses" here. Building punch point
