The Peninsula Shanghai
Shanghai
The Peninsula Shanghai brings Art Deco influences to a hotel on the Bund. Opened in 2009, it draws on the city's historic design language while giving rooms and suites generous proportions and outlooks that can extend across the river towards Pudong. The accommodation ranges from guestrooms to larger suites with distinct living and dining areas. Garden-view categories offer a different perspective from the river-facing rooms, making the outlook an important part of the choice. Yi Long Court serves Cantonese cooking in a room inspired by grand Shanghai residences, while Sir Elly's adds a contemporary Northern Italian approach. The heated indoor pool, with its Art Deco fireplace and adjoining outdoor terrace, continues the architectural theme into the wellness facilities. This is a hotel where the Bund location and interiors reinforce one another.
