Noel Coward wrote Private Lives while staying here in 1930, and Steven Spielberg filmed scenes for Empire of the Sun from inside the hotel. The lobby is an Art Deco masterpiece and the view ...

Beautifully Historic Hotel - user review
Living in Dubai I have come to know the quality and standards hotels should be living up to. Having never been to Shanghai I was well impressed by the Peace Hotel, its prime location and most of all its history, ambiance and style. The beds were comfortable, the Superior Room with two double beds we...

Great location, reminds me of the Drake in Chicago - user review
This is clearly an older hotel, but well maintained. About to undergo a $40 million renovation and it needs it, but I hope it doesn't lose its historical ambience. Very comfortable, with touches of elegance. I love the woodwork, high ceilings, rooftop bar, wonderful breakfast buffet. Concierge was v...

Still worth a stay - user review
When I lived in Shanghai in the early 80s I used to seek out the Peace Hotel as a quiet refuge. The view of the Huangpu was sweeping and there was still plenty of the faded elegance oddly preserved from pre Communist days. Since then the Peace has evolved, not entirely as Hardoon would have envision...

Excellent location, adequate conditions - user review
You cannot beat the location of the Peace Hotel, just off of the Bund. It is within walking distance of the subway and other great shops and part of town. The Peace Hotel is an old building with plenty of character, however its age is starting to show. The service seemed fine, but I wasn't there lon...

Run while you can!! - user review
Being very generous, this is barely a 3 star hotel. The staff are rude and deceitful. We had booked a deluxe room in the new section of the hotel and were given an old, shabby room. After complaining, we were given a deluxe room...the room we had originally booked. The air conditioning was weak and ...

Did I stay at the same hotel? - user review
I stayed at the Peace for two nights at the end og January 2005. Having read reviews from previous guests, I was expecting the worst. Instead, I found myself in a beautiful, HUGE room (that didn't smell moldy) in as good a location as you can have in Shanghai, all for 90 USD per night (as compared t...
