We adored this hotel, it is luxurious and historic and in the perfect Shanghai location.
Pros:

The history and art deco design of the building are fascinating and beautiful. The room we had was more like a suite with an entry foyer and a couch, coffee table, writing desk and dressing room.

Cons:

Nothing

Exceptional Historical Hotel in a Perfect Location,
Pros:

Breakfast: Exceptional. There was a wide variety of options from traditional chinese, japanese and western style. Stations for noodle soup, omelette and one preparing various chinese style pancakes. Fresh juices packaged in recyclable glass containers, extensive fruit options as well as dumplings. It is one of the best breakfast buffets that I've experienced. The only uncomfortable issue was parents letting their children go to the buffet touching or reaching into the platters.
Location: Perfect location for exploring the Bund, for shopping and walking along the river parkway.
Service: The entire staff is very accomodating, helpful and polite. The Gym and yoga room were well appointed.

Cons:

Everything was great.

It's not as good as it thinks it is but very nice
Pros:

The location is ideal. It is apparently a famous hotel so there are many tourists inside and out taking photos and selfie. Hotel is quaint old style european hotel. Very luxurious. Breakfast is £37pp so we took room only.

Cons:

Nithing very bad to report. All ok. Minor points....We rearranged the room a little to suit our requirements fir the time we were there but the staff carefully reset it each day.
When we arrived late at night there was no one on duty initially although someone came running up after a few minutes. The staff are if anything too helpful. All we wanted to do was go to sleep but we had to be told about all the facilities and the free museum tour on several occasions. The bellboy would not shut up although I gave him a good hip to get rid of him so maybe that was his plan!

the service at the Peace Hotel is first-class
Pros:

Our week-long stay at the Peace Hotel truly made my parents and me feel at home. First and foremost, I want to thank the entire Fairmont Gold Lounge team for their warm welcome and professional, personalized service. Kevin, in particular, meticulously attended to every little request we had from the moment we arrived, striving to fulfill them all. Chef Owen of the Lounge also deserves special thanks; he diligently prepared a variety of delicious dishes throughout the week, perfectly satisfying our cravings for Shanghai cuisine, and he would proactively ask what we wanted to eat, ensuring it appeared on the menu the following day. Nina at the lounge, and the two gentlemen (I apologize for not noting their names), provided impeccable service every day. Thank you so much!

Besides these, I also want to express my special gratitude to the housekeeping department, especially Anna, whose housekeeping was impeccable, even for our discerning palates. Carry also deserves special thanks for her attentiveness, carefully inquiring about the details of the cleaning, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment. Furthermore, the communication within the entire housekeeping team was simply superb. For example, I only mentioned the size of my bathrobe to Anna once, and to my surprise, the team didn't make a mistake even during the two days she was off duty.

Additionally, I'd like to thank Leah from the Jasmine Lounge; her attitude and professionalism during breakfast service were truly commendable.

Of course, there were many others whose names I didn't remember, such as the concierge, lobby staff, and parking attendants. It's safe to say that the service at the Peace Hotel is first-class, making guests feel warm, safe, and happy. I will definitely stay at the Peace Hotel again next time I'm in Shanghai.

Стиль!
Pros:

Чисто! Вкусно!
Отель красивый, реальный интерьер, выглядит лучше чем на фото, много элементов стиля можно разглядеть и потрогать в живую!
Косметика в ванной хорошая. Музей отличный!
Брали номер с видом на город. Поскольку здания на набережной расположены близко друг другу, получается вид на окна соседнего дома, поэтому , если не планируете сидеть в номере, берите вид во двор, так получится еще и с*экономить.

Cons:

Экскурсия по отелю входила в стоимость проживания, жаль, что за выход на крышу пришлось доплачивать отдельно :(
Номера с видом на город- шумные ночью.
Матрас немного продавлен.
В номере жила моль.
