Fairmont Peace Hotel

I had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai. The location is exceptional, right on the Bund, with beautiful views and easy access to some of the city’s best attractions. The historic architecture and classic interiors give the hotel a unique character that modern luxury hotels simply cannot replicate. The staff were warm, attentive, and professional throughout my stay, and I truly appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail. The atmosphere was refined without feeling overly formal, which made the experience very comfortable. The room was comfortable and beautifully maintained, and I especially enjoyed the sense of history throughout the property. For anyone visiting Shanghai, especially for the first time, I highly recommend staying at the Fairmont Peace Hotel. It is not simply a luxury hotel—it is an iconic Shanghai landmark and an experience in itself. I would be very happy to return.

Just returned from Shanghai and the Fairmont Peace Hotel. The hotel is beautiful and classic. It is kept spotless, with many staff members all around to assist guests. We had what was called a "long" stay because we stayed for 7 nights. Our room was massive, with the bathroom being outstanding. We didn't have a view other than the wall on the other side of our hotel. But the room was very quiet and restful. The breakfast was the biggest I have ever seen in my extensive world travels. The food was outstanding, with unparalleled variety. Everything is made in front of you or brought out fresh. We kept room service hopping because we called for ice every day, and they always delivered with a smile. Housekeeping kept our room refreshed with clean towels, water bottles, and even fresh fruit. We ate at one of the restaurants and were surprised by how good the food was. Our only disappointment was that, after the hotel tour, we thought we would go to the top floor for a drink at our tour guide's suggestion. The female staff member was on the phone and wanted us to wait. We waited, reviewed the menu, and waited some more. We gave up because she never acknowledged us again, even when she got off the phone. Other than that, it was the perfect hotel in a busy area.

Everything was excellent and what a prime location! The room was beautiful with a very comfortable bed. We enjoyed a beautiful evening at the roof top bar, with an amazing view of the city and the Bund

Nine Nation mooncakes and biscuits from the Peace Hotel, together with butterfly pastries from the Park Hotel, arrived just in time for my father’s remembrance day. Benny Tian had thoughtfully sent them with his finest wishes. My father served in the 1st Howitzer Artillery Regiment of the Special Forces Column of the East China Field Army. His unit fought in Shanghai during the Battle of Yuepu. Seventy-six years later, Benny’s gift from Shanghai bridged time and memory. I believe my father and his comrades are smiling in heaven. The Peace Hotel’s Nine Nation Mooncakes carried a meaning beyond the gift itself, reflecting my father’s lifelong hopes for peace, reunion, and goodwill among nations. Benny said that his grandfather had also fought in the war, and that he has always revered those who endured the flames of battle as the backbone of the people and the soul of the nation. A deep salute to my father and to all who fought beside him. May the Mid-Autumn moonlight carry my endless longing to you, as you walk in its eternal glow in heaven.

I have been fortunate to stay at the Fairmont Peace a few times now and consider it my home away from home and the people there if not my family then good friends. The location on the corner of The Bund and Nanjing road could not be better. The history and architecture of the hotel make it a must visit and if staying the rooms really are amazing. I stayed in July with temperature around 38 deg so it was nice to have access to the gold lounge to have a few snacks a drink, socialize and cool off. A thank you to Max and Marjory in the gold lounge for suggesting an area close to the hotel that I could go and explore. It was also nice to spend some time in the pool and spa for a Invigorating bamboo massage with Jenny. Thank you to Ben for suggesting visiting The Jazz bar and getting me a table on a busy Saturday night, a great classy but relaxed way to spend an evening, Terence for personally making sure my stays are great and arranging me access to the roof top deck at sunrise for some amazing photos, a framed print of one of the photos with some amazing comments from people at the hotel was left in my room. A special thank you to Master An Bin for creating an amazing figurine of me complete with tattoo, it has been an amazing conversation piece in my home, helping my friends and family understand why I like The Fairmont Peace hotel as much as I do and keep going back.
