Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund

LikedAn exceptional stay from start to finish. The Fairmont Peace Hotel is absolutely beautiful, full of history, elegance, and character. The location on the Bund is perfect, with easy access to many of Shanghai’s main attractions. Our room was spacious, comfortable, spotless, and beautifully maintained. The staff were professional, welcoming, attentive, and always ready to help. The service throughout our 8-night stay was outstanding, and the hotel truly made our visit to Shanghai memorable. Highly recommended!

DislikedNothing significant to mention. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very happy with the hotel, service, and facilities.

LikedBreakfast: Exceptional. There was a wide variety of options from traditional chinese, japanese and western style. Stations for noodle soup, omelette and one preparing various chinese style pancakes. Fresh juices packaged in recyclable glass containers, extensive fruit options as well as dumplings. It is one of the best breakfast buffets that I've experienced. The only uncomfortable issue was parents letting their children go to the buffet touching or reaching into the platters. Location: Perfect location for exploring the Bund, for shopping and walking along the river parkway. Service: The entire staff is very accomodating, helpful and polite. The Gym and yoga room were well appointed.

LikedGreat location. Very helpful staff. Fantastic room

LikedIt’s location and the hotel long history with its antic decors. Its staffs are very friendly and easy going. They are always eager to help you if you need them.

DislikedThe room is a little bit dark during the day time. But it’s acceptable.

LikedThe peace hotel is a dream place .We liked it all. The history museum and talk by its curator was fascinating and fabulous.The art deco surtoundings are a delight. Every member of concierge team is so helpful, kind and offers so much help. The man who runs the fabulous breakfast is a true leader. A wonderful centrally located place to stay!

LikedThe property is just amazingly located directly at the Bunt and a the famous Shanghai shopping street. Staff is super friendly and a visit to the Old Jazz Bar is a must. If you can join the Hotel tour which was nicely done by Robin.

DislikedIt is a little bit a maze on the individual floors, so a map would really be helpful.

LikedThe staff was friendly, polite, and extremely helpful in helping us navigate around Shanghai.

DislikedThe bar had a minimum fee of $420CNY. I was unable to have just a drink, as I would in almost every hotel in the world.

LikedA flawless 5-night family stay (18–23 September) at this living Art Deco museum, Fairmont Peace Hotel exceeded every expectation. Our Fairmont King Room felt like an elegant apartment at 49m², with a super-king bed, even larger than advertised, luxurious finishes, and immaculate twice-daily housekeeping. The hotel’s heritage tours made the history come alive (don’t miss them!), and there were charming nooks to discover everywhere. Location is unbeatable, directly opposite the Bund and moments from the main shopping strip yet the interiors are serenely quiet. We loved the Jazz Bar, and the gym and pool were top-notch, but it was the service that truly made our stay: every staff member was warm and proactive, and a special thank-you to Alexander, who checked in on us throughout our stay and even arranged a private tour. The team graciously accommodated a late checkout for our evening flight and made it effortless when we decided to add an extra night.

DislikedEverything was perfect, we only wish we’d stayed longer. Tip for future guests: book a longer stay; you won’t be disappointed!
