Fairmont Peace Hotel is located at the intersection of Nanjing East Road and the Bund, on the banks of the Huangpu River. It has been a social center and a place for politicians and celebrities to stay for over 80 years. After three years of renovation, the hotel reopened in 2010 with the new English name “Fairmont Peace Hotel” as part of the luxury five-star brand Fairmont.
As a globally renowned heritage hotel, Fairmont Peace Hotel has won numerous prestigious awards both domestically and internationally. It ranked first on the China’s Best Hotels list in the 2016 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards, was recognized as one of the top luxury Shanghai escorts hotels in Shanghai in the 2016 Hurun Best of the Best Awards, and was selected as a Travelers’ Choice by TripAdvisor in 2016. It was also ranked fourth in the “Reader’s Choice” category by Travel & Leisure magazine in 2015 and listed as one of the top 10 luxury hotels in China. It is the best choice for experiencing the old Shanghai charm.
Known as the first modernist building in the history of modern architecture in Shanghai, Fairmont Peace Hotel consists of two buildings, the North Building and the South Building. The South Building, originally called “Central Hotel,” was built in 1906 and is the oldest surviving hotel in Shanghai. It is a balanced Renaissance-style apartment building, elegant and dignified. The North Building, originally known as “Cathay Hotel,” is a luxurious Chicago School Gothic-style building with a distinctive pyramid-shaped green copper roof, earning it the reputation as the “first building in the Far East.” The hotel also houses a small history museum where the history of Fairmont Peace Hotel is explained to guests free of charge.
Fairmont Peace Hotel offers 270 uniquely designed luxury rooms and suites, with room sizes starting from 45 square meters. Due to the limited height of the buildings, some room types may not have a view or only offer views of the courtyard, leading to situations where curtains cannot be drawn in rooms facing each other. It is recommended to confirm with the front desk before making a reservation. Standard rooms can be booked for less than 2000 yuan per night, while the Fairmont Gold rooms can be enjoyed for around 2200 yuan per night. The rooms are equipped with down bedding and hypoallergenic pillows can be provided upon request. The bathroom amenities feature the luxurious brand Le Labo Rose 31, which combines a captivating and warm floral scent with woody notes, suitable for both men and women.
Among them, the Sassoon Presidential Suite is one of the most famous luxury suites in Shanghai. Named after Victor Sassoon, the founder of “Cathay Hotel,” it occupies the entire 10th floor of the hotel, offering panoramic views of the Bund and Pudong across the Huangpu River. The Nine Nations Suites, located facing the river, showcase the historical styles of China, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Japan, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy. Each suite has an area of approximately 178 square meters, with an average daily rate of around 5000 yuan.
The Jazz Bar at Fairmont Peace Hotel is a classic not to be missed. The jazz band, composed of six elderly musicians with an average age of 82, performs for guests starting at 6:30 p.m. It is like stepping into a private club in old Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s. Over the decades, they have been favored by a large number of domestic and foreign tourists, celebrities, and even national leaders such as former U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan.
In terms of dining, there is the Dragon Phoenix Restaurant, which offers traditional Shanghainese and Cantonese cuisine, the Cathay Room with a terrace offering a panoramic view, the Jasmine Lounge for traditional English afternoon tea, and VICTOR’S CAFÉ, catering to various guest preferences. The Jasmine Lounge is also listed as one of the recommended restaurants for the best English afternoon tea in Shanghai on the CNPP100 ranking.
Fairmont Peace Hotel provides excellent business services, with a total of 1800 square meters of meeting space and 15 meeting rooms. The distinctive halls, such as the Salon 1929, Peace Hall, Jiuxiao Hall, and England Hall, provide services for banquets, ceremonies, private meetings, and other shanghai escort business events. All rooms are equipped with a desk and a laptop-sized safe. The business center also offers additional services such as printing, binding, faxing, rental of office equipment, courier services, and teleconferencing. Guests staying on the executive floors can enjoy the services of the Fairmont Gold Lounge on the 9th floor, which offers a sumptuous European breakfast, a self-service bar, complimentary pre-dinner cocktails, domestic and international long-distance calls, iPad and laptop usage, shoe shining service, and a variety of books and magazines for borrowing.
The overall level of service at the hotel is satisfactory. However, it is a common issue in five-star hotels in Shanghai that foreign guests may receive different treatment due to the tipping culture.
