Bucket list to stay there. The dining experience was first class. Our waiter (George) outstanding.
Pros:

The hotel was all quality.

Cons:

Obviously, it is already quite expensive. I think the added 16.5% surcharge on everything is unreasonable.

没住过的，真的可以来体验一下，感觉还是很不错的。
Pros:

位置非常好，出门就是外滩和南京路。早餐相当的棒。酒店每个员工都相当地有礼貌。拍照挺出片的。

Cons:

房间设施略显老旧。除了套房外，房间不大。顶楼好像不让人随便上去。

Fantastic experience in heart of the Bund
Pros:

We were able to book a lovely tour and learn about the history of Shanghai and the hotel. A wonderful bilingual tour guide was very knowledgeable and helped show us parts of the hotel and shared history that can't be seen otherwise. The jazz bar and afternoon tea are highlights beyond the stay. A great experience!

Fairmont Peace Hotel
Pros:

I really enjoyed myself here, since the guide, whose name was Hebe Zhang, not only showed me around the museum, but led us to the Chinese restaurant and even the rooftop of this hotel as well.

Staying at the Fairmont Peace Hotel was an unforgettable experience. The hotel has a unique historical charm and a prime location on the Bund, with stunning views of Pudong. The rooms are elegant, clean and comfortable, and the service is thoughtful and professional. The breakfast is delicious with a great variety, and the jazz performance is a wonderful highlight. It’s truly the best choice to experience the glamour of old Shanghai.
