Pure Bliss: Luxury and Extravagance at the Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai

As pretty inside as the views outside

It’s hard to pinpoint which is better: the gorgeous interior or the extraordinary views outside. The Peace Hotel’s prime location along the Huangpu River has made it one of the must-see attractions for decades. Not only close to the Nanjing shopping district, it also offers unique views of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower.

Shanghai Mainstay

Today’s Fairmont Peace Hotel has gone by many names in its 80-year history. From the Central Hotel when it first premiered in the 1850s to the Palace Hotel when it dominated the Shanghai skyline in 1902 at six stories to the Cathay Hotel in 1932 (pictured), the one thing that has always remained the same is its iconic green copper roof. 

Cultural Escape

Very few hotels give guests the opportunity to travel the world all at once. Just like the city of Shanghai, the Peace Hotel is a melting pot of cultures. Guests can select from one of the “Nine Nation Suites”, like the Indian Suite, which has been a mainstay in the hotel since the it was called the Peace Hotel. 

Spa Day: Check

The Willow Stream Spa is a lesson in rest and relaxation. Using ancient Chinese techniques to balance your chi (your energy), spa experts offer a range of treatments designed to make everyone feel younger and healthier. After a day full of sightseeing, spending the next morning enjoying a foot rub and a warm message with the Willow Stream Wisdom treatment will hit the spot. 

It’s All About You

The staff at the Peace Hotel are attentive to your ever need. Plus, they’re quick to tell you about the extensive history of the hotel. A thing to remember: Every detail in the hotel has its own story. After you’ve heard it from the staff, be sure to take a walk through the free Peace Museum for an extensive view of the hotel, past and present.

 It’s a Foodie’s Kind of Place

Several decades ago, Shanghai was just a small fishing town. As its grown over the years so has its cuisine. Pulling from its European influences but staying true to its seafood roots, the dining experiences at The Fairmont’s Peace Hotel are some of the very best in the entire city.

Setting the Stage

This hotel has been the premier site for all things jazz since it first stepped onto the scene in the Roaring Twenties. Only in the Jazz Bar can you find the Old Jazz Band, a group of six expert musicians, who have performed for A-listers for decades, including a few former U.S. presidents like Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. As a special perk for repeat guests, staff in the Jazz Bar do their utmost to remember your order and favorite table to create the vibe of a private club.

Stellar Experiences

270 striking guestrooms, its own museum, and a rooftop with unparalleled 360 views of Shanghai? The Peace Hotel knows exactly how to please. 

Staying on the Bund within walking distance to the best restaurants, bars, and shopping in all of China is an experience few visitors to Shanghai get to experience. Only the Fairmont Peace Hotel could take it to the next level by offering top-notch dining experiences and spa treatments. It’s time to book a one-of-a-kind stay in Shanghai.
