Fairmont Peace Hotel On The Bund, Shanghai

20 Nanjing E Rd, Wai Tan, Huangpu Qu, Shanghai Shi, China, 200002 (show on map)

Expert reviews

Lonely Planet review:

“One of the city’s most iconic hotels, the Fairmont Peace is cast in the warm, subdued tints of a bygone era. Expect all the luxuries of a top-class establishment, with rooms decked out in art deco elegance, from light fixtures down to coffee tables.”

Forbes review:

“The landmark Fairmont Peace Hotel has a long history in Shanghai — Charlie Chaplin started a scandal when he visited with his unmarried female companion and Noël Coward wrote Private Lives here.”

Telegraph review:

“Shanghai’s Peace Hotel, the epicentre of the city’s Thirties hedonism, retains the swinging elegance of that era, but a sensitive £50m facelift has created a luxury hotel for the modern era: a calm and comfortable refuge from the lively Bund below. It is unique in a country not graced with historic properties.”

The architecture and design of the building and rooms are perfection; the hotel manages to be both authentic art deco, modern, and spotless. The concierge and desk staff were very helpful in arranging transportation and restaurant reservations. Would highly recommend if you like a unique and beautiful hotel

Great location, High standards of service and comfortable and clean rooms

Fantastic all around, from the service, to the location, and the hotel itself. Tasty and warm food for the included breakfast, while the location was so close to the Bund, I could walk out of the hotel and immediately see the view on the left. The room was clean and extremely comfortable, while the staff went above and beyond to ensure I was able to get from place to place on time, and made reservations on my behalf. Would highlight recommend a stay here.

No complaints at all. Everything was great

Fabulous experience

Loved the conscierge service. They were extremely helpful when my credit card was swallowed by an atm. Note to future travellers: do not expect to be able to withdraw money on weekends when Banks are closed. The gym was great too.

The walls were a bit thin but that is to be expected in a historic hotel like this one.

Nice

Great front desk service. upgraded our room free of charge and very politely escorted us to where the elevator is. The room is really big and very pretty. I really like the bathtub and the four-poster bed. Classic and comfy. Booking is very convenient.

It's a bummer u hav great front desk staff but judgy reservation staff who answer calls impolitely. I was making a call to inquire if the Terrace restaurant is open or not so we can see the view while dining. The girl mentioned that the Terrace is not open but the Chinese restaurant is. And if we want to see the ocean view so much, we should hav booked the ocean view room. That really hurts my feelings a bit even before I hav checked into the hotel. A bone to pick on the cleanness of the room. the chandelier above the bed seems to be unclean for quite a while. it's visible that there r some dust bunnies. I was a little afraid that the dust will fall into our mouth while sleeping.

Indeed, I found some peace, hassle free stay.

I stayed at this prestigious hotel on my special day and it exceeded my expectations! I booked an executive king room with lounge access. There were a group of people checking in the lobby when I got there but because I booked the executive room, they took me to the executive lounge for check-in which was very pleasant. The staff and their service were excellent. I want to commend Stevie, the hotel manager, as he was very helpful and made my birthday stay really worthwhile. I super love my room. It has a huge bathroom, a tiny walk in closet, and a huge bed! I made the right choice and indeed, found some peace, hassle free stay. <3

The pool is kinda hard to find and surprisingly, tiny. As it is tiny, they limit the access to 8 people at a time. However, if you get there at the right time, you may be lucky to have the pool to yourself. I got lucky! :P

I have stayed here several times, and the staff is always phenomenal. This weekend I rented a suite for my birthday. I hosted a few friends for after dinner drinks, Lily and Stevie were so wonderful in helping arrange everything. The rooms are comfortable with fantastic Bund views.

One of a kind experience

Location is unparalleled. service is impeccable.breakfast is good with varieties and quality. The hotel building itself is an icon of the bund and even Shanghai city. When we check in on early arrival, the front desk staff was very kind to give us an upgrade of room which is available immediately. Appreciate that.

The room and corridors smells like wood mixed with fragrance. The room deco is a bit in then dark theme. Not a problem but not to my taste. But sorry to say that Executive lounge is below expectation. Not worth the additional price. You should use breakfast at ground floor. You should also know that the guest room windows can only open a little and there is barely any views except the wall of the opposite building and a slice of pudong skyline if you adjust you head to the right angle. It is an one of a kind experience which u cud not have elsewhere as this peace hotel building itself is a national treasure of china and the hotel is located at the junction of the bund and nanjing road. So if you love Shanghai and really wanna experience some culture you should try this hotel. Else u may feel more comfortable in other more modern hotels at the same price.

The first and last stay at this hotel.

The smells, extremely overpriced, narrow rooms and corridors, strange team composition where shortage at concierge desk (my luggage was left without attention) and surplus of corridors staff doing nothing.

average, because of the false advertising. It is better to say no view at all.

they advertised and sold the room as executive inner courtyard view. The inner courtyard in room 226 looked like a disused prison cell, with debris, and a view of a rusted pipe all the way up one side. I took a video and showed my friend on Facebook. Someone said this was a view you would get from a penitentiary! The advertising was false and misleading. For a hotel with such history and presence, there is no need for such shockingly false advertising.

the advertising should be honest

Beautiful facilities & excellent customer service.

I loved the history, architecture, and retro vibe of the hotel. The location was on the bund and walking around was easy! The hotel was rich in detail, and Lili, the manager, arranged a tour for us in the morning. The staff were lovely, kind, and attentive.

I wasn't informed upon booking that the amenities like gym, spa, sauna, museum, terrace, Cathay room, jazz band, and business centre. We felt like we were charged the full price for the stay and provided with none of the amenities. Lili did her best to make us feel welcomed and show us the facilities, but the point of our stay was to pamper ourselves and enjoy the hotel offerings. I'm 7 months pregnant, so this is one of the last times I will be able to do this sort of thing for a while and we were disappointed that we paid so much and nothing was open. The hotel was operating on a skeleton crew due to the Covid outbreak after the government swiftly rescinded all restrictions, but none of this was expressed upon booking. It felt very much like a money grab because our stay occurred two days before Christmas.
