Fairmont Peace Hotel on the Bund

For my birthday, the hotel upgraded me to a room facing the street, with a fantastic view of Nanjing Road and the Bund right outside the window. I was also pleasantly surprised with a small birthday cake. As photography enthusiasts, we made sure to check out the Peace Hotel Museum and all the other photo-worthy spots. We stayed on a Friday, and the jazz performance in the lobby on the first floor was absolutely amazing – a great way for old friends who love Shanghai to relax. The breakfast buffet was also excellent, especially since it was a Saturday and we could dine until 11:00 AM, which was a very thoughtful touch. I highly recommend this historic Peace Hotel with its century-old heritage to anyone who's considering a stay!

It was my husband's birthday, and they gave us a small cake, which was a nice touch. The welcome fruit was also great. However, the hotel facilities are a bit old. The lobby was also packed with tourists taking photos, making it a bit noisy. The overall experience wasn't the best. The breakfast buffet didn't have much variety, and the pool and gym were quite small.

Facilities: A historic, well-established hotel. Cleanliness: Even though the furniture is old, it's very clean, and there's a smart toilet. Environment: A one-minute walk to The Bund, and a prime spot on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street. Service: The service is exceptionally good, friendly yet not intrusive. The front desk even helped upgrade our room type and prepared a birthday surprise for my child, which was incredibly thoughtful. !!!Note: If your room type doesn't include a minibar, don't use it, after all, a can of Coke costs 55 RMB 😂

Service: Incredibly thoughtful. The front desk staff (guy) was very helpful and considerate. Hygiene: The cleaning staff were very enthusiastic and welcoming. Environment: A bit old, but the top floor has amazing views. The Bund night view is absolutely stunning, though it can be quite windy.

This hotel has a unique, vintage charm. It's nestled in a quiet spot despite being in a bustling area, and the soundproofing is excellent. The rooms are well-appointed with all the necessary amenities, and the environment is elegant and beautiful. The service is warm and attentive, and the breakfast offers a rich and varied selection.

Facilities: Generally well-maintained in all aspects, especially the lobby facilities. The rooms are a bit dated, but overall maintenance is very meticulous. Hygiene: Very good, didn't see any obvious stains or dirt. Environment: The lobby is open to the public for viewing, so it's very noisy during the day, but gets better at night. Service: Excellent in all aspects. The lounge, lobby, and room staff were all very polite. I experienced the unique charm of the Bund and meticulous care. The gentlemen and ladies in the lounge provided excellent service, and the front desk staff were also very good. High standards for an old-school luxury hotel.

Historic Ambiance I really loved the hotel service; it was incredibly warm and attentive. The xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) at breakfast were a highlight; my child especially enjoyed them. Although the hotel is quite old, the interior decor and facilities are very comfortable and don't feel dated at all.

This hotel boasts the best location on the Bund, right across from the Oriental Pearl Tower, outside of Nanjing Pedestrian Street. The building itself is over a hundred years old and is one of the most iconic spots on the Bund. The hotel's decor is classic, with a vintage and elegant glazed roof, and the rest of the place is resplendent. However, check-in was quite slow. I arrived around 1 PM and didn't get my room until after 3 PM. It was quite frustrating, especially since I was traveling with a child, and the wait was far too long. I finally got a room after some communication. Despite that, the hotel service is generally good; the staff who assist with coming and going are very friendly. Aside from the long check-in time, everything else was truly excellent.

The location is excellent, very close to the river, and it's quite a landmark hotel. Many out-of-town tourists come specifically to check it out. Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street is right outside the door, making it super convenient for walks, strolls, and shopping. The breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and the butler service is very professional.
