Heritage rooms vary in outlook; request Bund/Pudong view at booking if that is essential. ## Who the Fairmont Peace suits — our verdict first The Peace Hotel answers the classic Shanghai brief: sleep inside the city’s most famous waterfront set-piece. The green copper roof on the Bund is a navigation landmark in its own right, and stepping out puts you on the promenade facing Lujiazui’s towers. This is not a stealth business hotel — it is a restored 1929 art-deco palace run as a Fairmont, with Fairmont Gold floors for lounge-minded guests and a small on-site Peace Museum tour that grounds the marketing in actual building history. Choose it when the Bund and Nanjing Road are the centre of your trip. Choose Pudong if your meetings or shopping days live in Lujiazui. The rate sits firmly at five-star Bund pricing; our Hotel Indigo guide further south on the river is the design-led alternative when you want riverside views without the Peace’s heritage premium. ## Getting there from PVG and SHA Photo: Lloyd Tudor / CC BY-SA 4.0 From Shanghai Pudong (PVG), the cleanest rail combo is Maglev to Longyang Road, then Metro Line 2 toward the city — alight around East Nanjing Road and walk to the Bund. Allow roughly an hour door to door when connections are kind. A Didi or taxi from PVG is simpler with luggage and typically 45–60 minutes outside peak traffic. Shanghai Hongqiao (SHA) is the better airport for many domestic flights: Metro Line 2 runs more directly into the Nanjing Road / People’s Square corridor. Late arrivals should default to a car rather than chase Maglev + Metro transfers with heavy bags. ## Where it sits: the Bund explained Photo: King of Hearts / CC BY-SA 4.0 The Bund is Shanghai’s colonial-era riverfront wall of banks and hotels, facing the modern Pudong skyline across the Huangpu. The Peace Hotel sits at the Nanjing Road junction — the busiest, most photographed corner of that strip. Practically, that means sunrise promenade walks, evening light shows on the Pudong towers, and Nanjing Road’s shops a few minutes inland. It is also busy. Expect tour groups on the promenade and wedding photographers at golden hour. Higher floors and river-facing rooms buy you distance from street noise; ask explicitly if sleep quality matters more than the classic facade view. Ready to compare dates?

Rooms lean heritage-luxe rather than minimalist — expect period detailing, solid bathrooms, and (on the right aspect) the Pudong skyline as the main event. Confirm Bund/river view at booking; internal or city-side rooms exist and cost less for a reason. The complimentary Peace Museum tour is a genuine differentiator: a short guided look at the building’s jazz-age and mid-century story. Book a slot via the concierge rather than assuming drop-in access on busy weekends. ## Eating at the hotel and on the Bund In-house dining covers the Fairmont fine-dining and lounge set — useful after a long flight — but the real advantage is the street outside. The Bund and nearby lanes hold Shanghainese, Cantonese and international rooms at every price point; Nanjing Road and the Yu Garden area add dumpling and snack runs within a short walk or Metro hop. For a first dinner, many guests walk the promenade at dusk, then either book a Bund-view table or cross to Lujiazui. Our other Shanghai guides note where Pudong tower hotels win on skyline restaurants instead. ## How it compares with our other Shanghai picks Against our Shanghai shortlist: Grand Hyatt Shanghai puts you inside Jin Mao Tower in Lujiazui with a high-floor sky pool narrative; Pudong Shangri-La is the large riverside resort-scale luxury option on the same bank; Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund is the boutique riverside pick further south toward the old docks, usually at a softer rate than the Peace. Pick Fairmont Peace when the address itself is the souvenir — Bund + Nanjing Road + art-deco story. Pick Pudong when your days face the financial district. Pick Indigo when you want river views and design energy without five-star Bund pricing. ## Booking notes and practical tips Request floor and view preferences in writing; heritage hotels fill unevenly. If Fairmont Gold matters, buy that tier at booking rather than hoping for an arrival upgrade in peak Chinese holiday weeks. Typical nights sit roughly in the £250–£450 band depending on season and view — an indicative range only; use the live rates panel for current partner prices. Visa and payment: many international cards work at Fairmont properties, but carry a backup payment method and confirm any tourist visa / transit rules for your nationality before you travel — Shanghai’s entry rules change and are not something a hotel page can freeze as eternal fact. ## Verified facts - Address: 20 Nanjing East Road, Huangpu District, 200002 Shanghai — The Bund - Five-star Fairmont landmark; about 270 rooms including Fairmont Gold floors - Art-deco heritage property (1929) with complimentary Peace Museum tour for guests - Bund promenade and Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street on the doorstep - Huangpu river views toward Lujiazui / Pudong skyline from many rooms - PVG about 45–60 min by Maglev + Metro/taxi; SHA Hongqiao is the closer airport for domestic hops ## Good for - First-time visitors who want the Bund and Nanjing Road on foot - Heritage and design stays — art-deco landmark rather than a new glass tower - Couples and special-occasion trips that prioritise location and atmosphere - Guests who value Fairmont Gold lounge floors when upgrading - Photography-led itineraries built around the Bund and river views ## Not ideal for - Strict mid-range budgets — this sits at the top of Shanghai’s price ladder - Guests who need a Lujiazui office tower next door (choose Pudong instead) - Anyone seeking a brand-new design hotel over a restored classic Airport transfer **Flying via Shanghai Pudong International (PVG)?** From PVG: Maglev to Longyang Road (~8 min), then Metro Line 2 toward East Nanjing Road / walk to the Bund — allow about 60–75 minutes door to door. A taxi/Didi from PVG is typically 45–60 minutes outside rush hour. SHA Hongqiao is closer by Metro Line 2 for domestic arrivals.

Choose Peace for icon status, Indigo for contemporary boutique energy. ## Nearby on FlightLogic Stay oriented with our editorial guides — hotels, dining, airports and city hubs. - [**Hotels in Shanghai** Curated city hub](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/) - [**Shanghai Pudong International (PVG)** Airport guide · transfers & facilities](https://flightlogic.co.uk/airports/shanghai/) - [**Grand Hyatt Shanghai** Also in Lujiazui](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/grand-hyatt-shanghai/) - [**Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai** Also in Lujiazui](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/grand-kempinski-shanghai/) - [**Compare hotels** Side-by-side editorial facts](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/compare/?city=shanghai&hotels=fairmont-peace-hotel-shanghai) ## More hotels in Shanghai - [**Grand Hyatt Shanghai** Lujiazui](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/grand-hyatt-shanghai/) - [**Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai** Lujiazui](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/grand-kempinski-shanghai/) - [**Hotel Indigo Shanghai on the Bund** South Bund](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/hotel-indigo-shanghai-bund/) [All curated Shanghai hotels →](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/china/shanghai/) · [Compare with others](https://flightlogic.co.uk/hotels/compare/?city=shanghai&hotels=fairmont-peace-hotel-shanghai) Facts last verified August 2026.
