I stayed at the The Peninsula Shanghai and would highly recommend it - because of the location, the interior design, the outstanding service, the comfortable and the spacious room. Nothing is overlooked to make our stay an excellent experience. Highly recommended!

The peninsula hotels are absolutely amazing and this one is no exception. They all come with a fountain, two lions on the front door and high end shopping. The most amazing of all things is how the rooms are furnished, at least our room - we stayed in the executive suite. The furniture is neither too much, nor too little,... More

For sure one of the best hotels in Shanghai. starting with the airport pick up, room check, room quality and interior, service, room view - everything just outstanding. The food in thr Chinese restaurant also excellent but very expensive, too expensive. Overall The Peninsula is more than only a hotel and therefor full points.

This hotel absolutely lives up to the reputation of all Peninsula Hotels. The warm greetings by name, abundant staff, gorgeous flower arrangements, and a complete "can do" attitude sets this apart. Our room overlooked the Bund and it was fascinating to watch the continual traffic on the river. At night we got a light show from the towers and skyscrapers... More

This hotel combines the elegancy of a historic building with modern facilities, revealing a touch of the old shanghai spirit. The Peninsula is right at the heart of Shanghai - the Bund - and only a few minutes from the Yuyuan Garden. Just a stone through away from the french concession and other interesting places.

In an extraordinary city, The Peninsula remains a cut above everything. An amazing building with breathtaking views, great and charming service, but above all incredible rooms with every imaginable modern or technological enhancement.
