"235 rooms on the Shanghai Bund waterfront. The only newly-built luxury hotel on the historic Bund. Direct Pudong skyline views from every room."
The Peninsula Shanghai opened in October 2009 on the Shanghai Bund — the historic Huangpu River waterfront where Shanghai's colonial-era European-style buildings line up directly facing the Pudong skyscraper skyline across the river — as the only newly-built luxury hotel on the historic Bund (the other Bund luxury hotels occupy restored colonial-era buildings; Peninsula's contemporary architecture by David Beckham's collaborator Hirsch Bedner Associates is the only post-2000 building approved on the protected Bund stretch). The 235 rooms across the property's 14-floor main building have direct Pudong-skyline views from virtually every accommodation, with the Bund's neoclassical buildings to the north and the modern Pudong financial district directly across the Huangpu River.
The 235 rooms split between the entry-level Deluxe Rooms (with views over the Bund or the Huangpu River), Grand Deluxe Rooms (with the larger configurations and direct river views), Junior Suites with substantial private terraces, the Deluxe Suites in the Peninsula Suite category, and the Peninsula Suite — the property's flagship, with substantial private outdoor terrace and the most extensive Pudong-skyline view of any hotel suite anywhere. The interiors integrate Chinese-modernist materials with Peninsula's signature classical-luxury aesthetic.
The grounds — the heated indoor swimming pool with floor-to-ceiling windows over the Bund, the comprehensive Peninsula Spa, the fitness centre, the rooftop helipad (the property's helicopter transfer programme is among the most-used at any Shanghai luxury hotel), and the Peninsula's signature 24-hour Page Boy service — make Peninsula Shanghai comprehensively-equipped. The Peninsula Page Boy in classic uniform delivering daily papers and concierge service to suites is the brand's defining heritage element.
Dining is at multiple restaurants. Sir Elly's is the headline modern European fine-dining on the rooftop with panoramic Bund-and-Pudong views — among the most-photographed luxury hotel restaurants globally. Yi Long Court is the Cantonese fine-dining (Michelin-starred). The Lobby is the all-day. The Peninsula Bar is the cocktail venue. The wine programme is comprehensive; the Chinese-spirit programme is among the deepest in Shanghai. Service is the consistent global Peninsula standard delivered by a heavily Shanghainese team. The Peninsula Shanghai is the most polished luxury hotel in mainland China and the answer for travellers who want the historic Bund setting with Peninsula's signature European-classical-luxury operational discipline.
The Shanghai anniversary at the Peninsula. Book a Grand Deluxe Room with direct Pudong-skyline view, or for milestone anniversaries the Peninsula Suite. Sir Elly's rooftop dinner over the Bund and Pudong; Yi Long Court Michelin-starred Cantonese; the Page Boy daily service. The combination of the Bund-frontage architecture and the Peninsula service consistency produces the polished Shanghai anniversary.
The Peninsula Shanghai is mainland China's primary business-luxury hotel. The Bund location proximate to Shanghai's financial geography, the Peninsula Page Boy concierge service, the comprehensive meeting facilities, and the rooftop helipad for transfers make this the executive-traveller standard for Shanghai. Sir Elly's and the Peninsula Bar serve as Shanghai corporate-meeting venues.
The Shanghai honeymoon at the most polished mainland China luxury hotel. The Pudong-skyline view from the room balcony at sunrise; Sir Elly's dinner; Yi Long Court Michelin Cantonese; the helicopter transfer to and from the airport. The honeymoon at the Peninsula Shanghai is the polished mainland China experience.
