Fairmont Peace Hotel

Historical location and building

I bought a room with city view, then the view was on a miserable small road

The location is aweseom.e definitely check out the roof top terrace. I visited shanghai during the national holidays so wai tan was packed as hell. but if you go up to the roof top, you can enjoy the spectecular view with not so many people. staffs speak very good english and are kind.

room size wasn't big compared to the price. I think the price is wholly on the location. and the water of the swimming pool was cold. would have expected warm water in a hotel like this. fitness studio was fine.

Splendid location, by far my most important criterion in choosing a hotel

Being treated like an invalid by the overeager young who offer to carry my very light luggage in a rather aggressive and intrusive way.

One of the best hotels we’ve stayed at. Ticks every box.

There was nothing we didn’t like

Fantastic experience at the historic hotel. The staff was well spoken and polite . Room service was exemplary. Wonderful tea time / happy hours service for the gold members . Breakfast was very good and the location is absolutely amazing . Literally a stone throw from the Bund . I would highly recommend this hotel for tourist in Shanghai.

The only setback we had at this hotel was the absolutely poor service @ the roof top terrace bar on floor 9 . The waiters need to be at par with the hotel service level. They were very slow and spent most of their time on their phones or chatting with each other . The only time I saw them do something was when the manager was on the floor .

Location and Service

I would recommend this hotel for both business and leisure. 18m indoor pool and gym were good. Baby sitting service outsourced was fantastic, our sitter was a preschool teacher. The Concierge service was second to none and nothing was ever a problem, even though we called them 15 times on the first evening. Located right on the Bund (my room didn't have a Bund view) and was a 50m walk to the waters edge, and on one of the biggest shopping streets in China (East Nanjing Road).
