The Bailemen Hotel has a nostalgic atmosphere, reminding one of the past. “Bailemen” has similar pronounciation with “Paramount”, which used to be the name of a famous dance hall in Shanghai during the 1930s. The Chinese characters for “Bailemen” also carry the auspicious meaning of “The Door of All Happiness”. As a famous brand in the 1930s, it was the symbol of wealth and luxurious life style. With the foundation of the People's Republic of China, the brand of “Bailemen” lost her appeal. Yet many people still reminisce about her glorious past. That is why it made such an important event when Bailemen Hotel opened on 19 July, 1990. The most influential newspapers and TV stations in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan reported this event, referring to the opening of the hotel as the “rebirth of the classic brand of ‘Bailemen’ which enjoyed great popularity during the 1930s in Shanghai”.
