Amazing stay at Shanghai Peace Hotel
Pros:

We chose to stay here during our trip after seeing many great online reviews, and it truly exceeded our expectations. The hotel is amazing, and we especially enjoyed the historic museum tour—it was fascinating and absolutely worth joining.

It’s a wonderful experience for families. It gave my child a great opportunity to learn about the history of the Peace Hotel and Shanghai in an engaging way.

I would highly recommend staying here for a family trip!

Beautiful Place to Stay
Pros:

The architecture is very beautiful and there is a lot of intricate history here, the room i was staying in was also very beautiful and the staff were extremely kind. We also had a museum tour and it was so amazing to see all the rooms and the history in this place. The atmosphere is also so nice with the history of this building really showing and the art really brought that out. The amenities were also very nice with them bringing some fruits and I loved seeing the peace bird in the lobby and the plaster sculptures.

Pros:

Really love the Art Deco interior design of the hotel, the courteous staff & the fabulous service. Love the Hi-Tea dance hosted on Sunday afternoon.

Cons:

Stayed Room 657……didn’t like the long walk to our room! Understand it’s an old property & that can’t be helped! 😃

The one to pick for Shanghai sightseeing
Pros:

This is the so-called number 1 hotel in China from the historical perspective so we decided to stay there when visiting Shanghai for F1 Grand Prix. It goes without saying the location is at the hub of Shanghai, right next to 外灘 and 南京路. The subway station is also 2 blocks away within walking distance. The servants and concierge staff are top-notched, very experienced, friendly, and enthusiastic in helping. The dinner at 龍鳳廳 is a must-have if you're into Shanghainese cuisine. There is a museum inside the hotel demonstrating the history of this hotel that accommodated many presidents and leaders from all over the world since the 1920s.

Cons:

The interior has wear-and-tear here and there, though they manage to keep it pretty clean. The jazz band (recommended by the hotel) is overrated (a a bit overpriced for their performance).

Peace Hotel Museum
Pros:

This value added tour is highly recommended. Robin is very helpful and gave us a good guidance of the hotel. We visited the 11/F and the old lift. Both are highly recommended.

Fantastic Museum in the Hotel!
Pros:

My mom and I did a tour of the hotel’s museum and it was amazing. Our guide, Hebe Zhang, was so informative and made it really fun. There’s lots of rich history to be discovered and they’ve done a wonderful job preserving everything. 10/10 recommend!

Pros:

The property is just amazingly located directly at the Bunt and a the famous Shanghai shopping street. Staff is super friendly and a visit to the Old Jazz Bar is a must.
If you can join the Hotel tour which was nicely done by Robin.

Cons:

It is a little bit a maze on the individual floors, so a map would really be helpful.
