Fairmont Peace Hotel On The Bund, Shanghai
Expert reviews
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

Passable
The hotel of course is very historic which was attractive.
I think the price is very high for what is provided. There was no view.

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 The hotel was operating on a skeleton crew due to the Covid outbreak after the government swiftly rescinded all restrictions, but none of this was expressed upon booking.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.
