We had an amazing time at this hotel. The service we received at check-in, concierge, and housekeeping was superb and professional. We stayed for 4 days here and our hotel room felt like retreat within the hustle and bustle of shanghai outside. Our room was gorgeous with beautiful asian furnishings. The entertainment system was brand new and so was all... More

Stayed for 7 nights in April 2012 & really enjoyed our time there. I used the spa 3 times & had a wonderful experience each visit. The room service is fast & very good. My favorite was the sweet & sour pork with plain rice-yum! The Peninsula breakfast is also delicious each morning. We ate & had drinks one evening... More

We stayed one night at the Peninsula before our departure from Shanghai and I am thankful we did. The hotel is beautiful, the service superb, and add in a few icing on the cake touches as well. We had an extra bed set up for our 4 year old son and it was not the run of the mill glorified... More

World traveller with over 150 nights a year at top hotels across the globe...with lots of opinions and very very fussy. I stayed on business for two separate nights in May. Met on arrival at the Airport by an impeccable transfer service (it would have to be at almost 8 times the cost of a taxi). Arrival was very smooth... More

My colleagues and I stay at the Peninsula Shanghai on every trip to Shanghai. The hotel is beautiful and the rooms are luxurious – one of the best I’ve ever seen. The food at the hotel is good and the staff is so attentive- they know me well and bring me my preferred morning coffee as soon as I sit... More

This is a lovely property. Well located- right on the Bund, it's an amazing view, especially from the top floor restaurants and bar. The high tech room is like piloting the enterprise, but with fab thread count sheets and exquisite decorative touches. The lobby/dining area is decorated with amazing glass fish murals, and the staff is eager to please. More

My partner and I just returned from a 3 week trip to China, ending with 3 nights at the fabulous Peninsula Shanghai. (For comparison purposes, we also stayed at the Aman at Summer Palace in Beijing; the Shangri-la Guilin; the Banyan Tree Lijiang; the Songtsam Retreat in Zhongdian/Shangri-la; the St. Regis Lhasa; and the Sofitel Xi'an.) Our stay at the... More

I stayed at the Peninsula Hotel in Shanghai in April. I am afraid that the service , accomodation,and attention to detail of this establishment spoils you for any other hotel in the world.We had requested train tickets to visit a nearby city, they were handed to us by the check in staff in room,exactly as requested. A car was booked... More

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the hotel. The rooms are beautifully decorated in a well-balanced and art-deco style. Food was excellent at the Chinese restaurant and breakfast was very good. Don’t miss visiting or organizing an event at the Rosamonde Aviation Lounge. It is a wonderful private dining room at the top of the hotel with an aviation-centered décor.... More
