Fairmont Peace Hotel

My family stayed at the Fairmont Peace Hotel during Christmas 2024 and it was one of the most memorable stays we had. We stayed in the Nine Nations French Suite, Chinese Suite and Gold Floor King Suite, and all the Suites were wonderful. Nine Nation Suites are quite spacious at 178sqm and uniquely designed with a strong sense of history pertaining to each nation. We particularly enjoyed the Chinese Suite given its lighter texture with an imperial dragon ceiling. Food variety and quality at both the Jasmine Lounge (breakfast) and Fairmont Gold Lounge are very good. In particular, the Gold lounge mixes the afternoon tea and evening menu on a daily basis (e.g. Turkey for Xmas eve and Unagi on Xmas day). The best part of our stay is really the quality of service that we received, mainly from the friendly team in the Fairmont Gold Lounge. Huge thanks to Scott for organising our suites, Nana for personally taking time to show us our rooms and taking photos for us, and Gordon for offering guidance on visiting the old jazz bar (we saw the special santa clause event because of him!) and taking photos for us despite it been windy and around 5 degrees at night. I felt like they are not just hotel assistant managers, but more like friends that will go above and beyond to make our stay so memorable. The Fairmont Peace Hotel is not just a hotel, but also a museum. We took the daily tour and Hebe patiently provided an overtime 90min (it’s usually 60min) detailed guide of the Hotel. We highly recommend this tour as it added more flavour to our stay and provides a comprehensive taste of history. Finally, I would like to say thank you to the Gold Lounge Assistant Managers Scott again for arranging a special farewell gift for us, and wish Nana all the very best for a new family member this month! We will remember this stay forever and hope yo be back soon…

The Peace Hotel epitomizes timeless elegance with its flawless fusion of heritage and modernity. Service here is nothing short of extraordinary - staff anticipate needs with uncanny intuition, from the white-gloved doorman's warm welcome to the personalized concierge who remembers your preferred champagne brand. Lavish Art Deco interiors dazzle with lacquered screens and stained glass, while rooms cocoon guests in silk-draped luxury featuring marble baths and bespoke furnishings. The legendary Jazz Bar serves cocktails with century-old recipes, and the Michelin-starred dragon-phoenix embroidered restaurant delivers culinary theater. Every detail whispers exclusivity, from the golden turret silhouette against the Bund skyline to orchids refreshed thrice daily. A masterclass in discreet, intuitive luxury.

We stayed at the hotel for 4 nights and joined the historical guided tour. The guide, Lear, was very good, informative, and knowledgeable. We now have a good understanding of the rich history of the hotel. It was a very enjoyable trip. Thanks a lot Lear.

My wife and I are avid travellers and have not been to Shanghai for over 10 years. I can honestly say Shanghai has taken the world by storm and is the unquestionable world leader in technology, finance, business, presentation and customer service - coupled with an extraordinary history and meteoric rise on the world stage for which all Chinese throughout the world should be proud. This blend of history and service exemplifies the qualities of the Peace Hotel. All staff were attentive without being intrusive. But Rachel Tang at Concierge was always helpful even before arriving for our 4 day stay. The Dragon Restaurant was good. The rooms and hotel are adorned with beautiful paintings/wall hanging, lamps and floor coverings reflective of a grand bygone era but equiped with every modern state of the art amenity one could wish for. This should not be the number 2 hotel on TripAdvisor; anyone with any appreciation for detail and quality will quickly realise this Hotel does not have a peer.

The guide, Hebe Zhang, took her time to explain the history of this hotel. Quite an informative tour. She gave us extra time to take photos. But I didn't know about the package for tour and a session of the old jazz time from 6-8pm. The outdoor porch is closed until April.
