Hotels in Shanghai

"The room was very clean, the service was excellent, and the breakfast was delicious. The pool was a bit small, but wow, the building is incredibly tall! A special shout-out to the turndown service, which replenished plenty of water (the room felt a little dry, so staying hydrated was key!) and cleared the trash. From the bathtub in my Magnolia room, I had views of Qiantan, Expo Park, Lupu Bridge, and Nanpu Bridge. From the desk, I could see Yaohan, Century Park (I believe), and beyond that, two extremely tall buildings (does anyone know what they are?). To see the Oriental Pearl Tower and the iconic 'Three-Piece Suit' skyscrapers, you needed to go to the 101st-floor lobby. At night, I also enjoyed a complete and magnificent panorama of the Bund and Yu Garden. The views from the 84th and 85th floors were excellent as well. Minibar beer and soft drinks were complimentary. However, snacks, chocolates, spirits, and wine were chargeable. The welcome fruit was a bit sparse – I actually had to use a Ctrip point to get it. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. It motivates me to work hard, show my kids more of the world, and treat myself to such rewards again."

"The hotel staff were exceptionally friendly and attentive. The hotel offers a full range of excellent facilities. The rooms were spotlessly clean, and the beds were very comfortable. Its prime location provides easy access to public transport, with Metro Lines 2 and 10 conveniently nearby, making it ideal for exploring the city. Housekeeping kept the guest rooms meticulously clean, and the common areas were also immaculately maintained."

"Had a great stay for 3 nights. Room was spacious and quiet. Though the furnishings were pretty outdated but housekeeping service was tip top & efficient. Only concern was the bath tube which don't come with assisted handles which may pose high risk for the elderly. Next, there seemed to be quite relaxed on the security because you don't need a room card to access to your lift floor and anybody can just walked into the gym to use its facilities. The buffet breakfast was okay seemed like they focus more on western dishes which tasted better than the chinese dishes which to me as a Chinese the chinese dishes don't looked so appealing. The location was good next to a small mall with restaurants and supermarket. Overall i had a great stay & would recommend others to try this hotel."

"We had such a wonderful stay! The hotel is perfectly located in the middle of the city, very close to the subway. You can easily acces every major attraction without the need to take a taxi or to switch the subway too much. Highly recommend. On top of everything we got such a nice room with an incredible view on 26th floor. We have to thank Oliver from the reception for giving us such a nice room."

"The hotel itself is a historic building, with the breakfast cafe being particularly beautiful. Our room overlooked the Shanghai city skyline, offering good privacy and a nice view. The room size was a bit on the smaller side. While some facilities were slightly dated, they were very well-maintained. The bathroom had excellent water pressure, which made for a really comfortable shower. The hotel breakfast was excellent and highly recommended!"

"I simply *must* give the hotel facilities a perfect score! From the moment we checked in, we were greeted with warm smiles. The staff patiently answered all our questions and even proactively selected a great room for us, demonstrating incredible attention to detail. The hotel's amenities are fantastic. Our room was spotless and spacious, the bedding was wonderfully comfortable, the bathroom facilities were modern, and the public areas boasted a stylish design. We had such a comfortable and pleasant stay that I'll definitely be back. Highly, highly recommend! A big thank you to Sharon from Guest Relations for her follow-up, which made our experience truly perfect."

"The 25th-floor lobby was impressive with powerful air conditioning. However, a faint sour odor lingered in the air. The elevators to the upper floors were very smooth but lacked air conditioning. Breakfast on the 26th floor was split into Chinese and Western sections. The food stations were quite spread out. The Western section had good AC, but the Chinese section was uncomfortably hot due to insufficient cooling. We stayed in room 4901. The view was excellent, but the bedding was very ordinary, and there was noticeable dust. The main issues were: 1. The air conditioner was incredibly noisy. 2. Its cooling performance was completely inadequate. I'm unsure if this was due to a fixed thermostat setting or a system restriction, but I woke up twice during the night because of the heat. (We called maintenance around 2 AM, and after some adjustment, it was slightly better... A fan was requested and delivered around 3 AM). This is how my child and I ended up enduring a noisy and hot stay in what's supposedly a five-star hotel. Regarding service, despite making several calls during the night, there was no follow-up from staff whatsoever. This lack of proactivity and communication feels quite outdated in today's hospitality industry, indicating a clear lack of handover between shifts."

"Very cool designed hotel and love the design and indeed the stunning view of the Bund from the room. Had a long time deciding which hotel for bund views and definitely made a right choice! The breakfast was amazing- so many choices! Good quality. And the bar outside - wow again - great place to chill at night with the view. Also had dinner at Yen restaurant in the hotel - service is excellent and food is delicious. Happy that I could also order a cool cocktail collaboration they had with another cool place in Shanghai. Anyway shows W’s commitment to good design and lifestyle. Location of the hotel is great - short easy walk to the Bund and in the lovely - more chill neighbourhood of HongKou. Just next to mall with everything. Great stay! And yes love the very cute XLB and chopsticks plush in the room. Couldn’t stop admiring them :)"

"I stayed in a Deluxe City View King Room for three days. As I was quite tired from traveling, I mostly explored the area around Nanjing Road and the Bund, and consequently spent a good amount of time experiencing the hotel itself. **Peace Hotel Historical and Cultural Tour:** I personally love hotels with a sense of history and age, so I really enjoyed this tour. The guide was excellent, not only explaining things within the museum but also taking us to other famous spots. For instance, Picture 7 shows the revolving door at the Jasmine Lounge (where the breakfast buffet is served), which is the iconic door from *Blossoms Shanghai* that Mr. Bao used. For an additional 88 RMB, you can visit the old elevator (Picture 8) and the 11th-floor rooftop terrace (Pictures 9 and 10). I think fans of *Blossoms Shanghai* would find this very interesting, as it's the same terrace used by Mr. Bao and Miss Wang. My only regret is that you can only look at the old elevator; it would have been wonderful to experience a ride on it, even just for one floor. Picture 2 shows an old piano in the Jasmine Lounge, where the breakfast buffet is served. Pictures 3, 4, and 5 show the classic jazz band performance. I asked a staff member, and they mentioned that the band members on the screen are from an earlier generation, different from the current group. The performance was excellent, especially the lead saxophonist. Later, a female vocalist also sang. The entire performance lasted quite a while, from 7 PM to past 11 PM. Unfortunately, I was short on time and only listened for about an hour before leaving. There's a minimum spend of 418 RMB per person, which can be offset by ordering drinks, snacks, fruit platters, etc. Picture 6 shows the beautiful ceiling above the Peace Dove statue in the lobby. The last two photos, surprisingly, capture the most delightful aspect of my stay: the Le Labo Santal 33 soap and Rose 31 bath amenities. Initially, I just used them casually and found them wonderfully fragrant. Later, I discovered the hotel had a Le Labo boutique, and after browsing and learning more about the brand, I returned to my room to fully appreciate the scents. Bathing in the tub that evening, using the complete Rose 31 range – shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion – was an unparalleled indulgence. Before checking out, I even went to the shop and bought the Shanghai-exclusive perfume. The rooms are replenished daily with the Santal 33 soap and Rose 31 products, and you can even take them home as a souvenir when you leave. All the staff members were also very friendly and provided excellent service. The only minor drawback was the dining. During my stay, I tried breakfast at the Jasmine Lounge, Victor's restaurant, and some snacks at the Jazz Bar, but the quality across the board was quite ordinary. It wasn't bad, per se, but it didn't feel up to the standard of a grand hotel; nothing truly impressed me. Especially since we had stayed at the Hangzhou State Guesthouse just before this, where the culinary standards were exceptionally high, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed at the Peace Hotel. I hope they can elevate their dining quality rather than just relying on the ambiance."

"From the room and the furnitures, you can tell that it is an old hotel. The lobby is grand but the room is not as great in comparison. Room was not well lit when curtain is closed and all the lights are on. However, hotel is situated at an extremely great location; right outside of the hotel is Nanjing Pedestrian Street. The Bund is walking distance. Nearby the hotel has many great and famous restaurants. If you don’t mind that the room is a bit run down (but relatively clean), I think this hotel is a great place to stay."
