The most prestigious address on the Bund — The Peninsula Shanghai, the only new building constructed on the Bund in over 70 years (opened 2009). 235 rooms with Art Deco interiors and full Pudong skyline views. Sir Elly's rooftop bar and restaurant is the best in the city. Yi Long Court (Cantonese, Michelin-starred) is exceptional. Perennial #1 Shanghai hotel.
Why We Chose It
The Peninsula Shanghai was designed to echo the grandeur of pre-war Shanghai while meeting the highest modern standards. Its construction required special permission given the Bund's protected status. The hotel immediately became the benchmark for Shanghai luxury.
What Stands Out
- Only new Bund building built in 70+ years — the most historically significant hotel in Shanghai
- 235 rooms all with Art Deco interiors and Pudong skyline views
- Sir Elly's: rooftop bar and restaurant with panoramic Bund and Pudong views
- Yi Long Court: Cantonese, Michelin-recommended, excellent dim sum
- Peninsula Spa: full indoor pool, 13 treatment rooms
