We spent 4 nights here in early January. With an interest in old Shanghai I was very excited to stay in what had once been "the" place to stay in pre-war Shanghai. It had recently been renovated and the outcome is excellent. It's worth coming in to check out the lobby and bars even if you don't stay. We had... More

It's a pity, because it is one of the most charming hotels in the world, beatiful building, rich in history, but the service staff is really killing it. I have stayed three times during the last year and as much as I want to love it, I just cannot. Last time I was with my in-laws to show them Shanghai.... More

We did not stay at the Peace Hotel but enjoyed coffee and cake at Victor's Cafe, named after the first owner, Victor Sassoon. The atmosphere was wonderful and service impeccable. We actually went there twice, as we went back with some friends when they arrived a few days later. The public areas of the Peace Hotel are beautifully restored in... More

This is one of the nicest places we've stayed in. Any hotel can have cookie cutter comfort and luxury, but the Fairmont Peace Hotel has character. It starts off with the lovely incense scented lobby. You need to use your key card in the lift - and it gives you access only to your floor. The corridors to reach the... More

Fairmont did a wonderful job in renovating the old iconic Peace Hotel. The rich Old Shanghai art deco-ish decor was faithfully preserved in all of its new designs. The rooms, spa, and common areas all exude a most upscale ambience. My wife and I, together with a few relatives, all stayed on the Gold floor for a week. The service... More

This Fairmont didn't fail to please and lived up to the impeccable Fairmont reputation.

If one wants to stay in the town area this is the best located property with easy access to the shopping areas and tourist areas. The property itself has history and is immaculately kept. Service is excellent and prompt. Would stay here again if visiting Shanghai.
