The ultra-luxury heritage-leaning pick at the north end of the classic Bund. The Bund · Shanghai · 5-star Live partner rates · no FlightLogic markup · 5-star classification The Peninsula Shanghai is our ultra-luxury Bund pick: a modern Peninsula on Zhongshan East 1st Road with spa, 25 m pool and Sir Elly’s rooftop views. Book it for a special stay; look at Peace, Waldorf, Westin or Indigo if you want Bund energy at a lower tier. ## Property amenities - Peninsula Spa - 25 m pool - Fitness centre - Sir Elly’s rooftop - Multiple restaurants - Concierge / butler-style service - Ballroom / events - Free Wi-Fi ## Room features - Peninsula bed - Advanced in-room technology - Spa-like bathroom - River or city views by category - Work desk - Daily housekeeping ## Room types ## What's nearby Stated distances are measured from the property; other entries note how you'd get there. Walking times in Shanghai run longer than the distance suggests once heat, crossings and pedestrian detours are counted. ### Landmarks - The Bund promenade At the door - Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street ~5–10 min walk - Fairmont Peace Hotel Short walk along the Bund - Lujiazui skyline View across the river ### Transit - East Nanjing Road Metro ~8–12 min walk - PVG ~45–60 min typical - SHA ~40–55 min typical - Bund ferries / tunnel Short walk ### Shopping & food - Sir Elly’s / Yi Long Court On-site - Nanjing Road Short walk - Bund fine dining Immediate area - Lujiazui Across the river ## Check-in, check-out and languages **Check-in** From 15:00 **Check-out** By 12:00 **Languages at reception** English, Mandarin River-view suites are the product — confirm aspect and suite category carefully. ## Who The Peninsula Shanghai suits — our verdict first Peninsula is for travellers who want the top of the Shanghai luxury ladder on the Bund itself — space, service ritual and rooftop dining included. It is not trying to win on price against Westin or Kempinski. If your budget tops out at mid-five-star, choose elsewhere on this hub and keep Peninsula for a milestone trip. ## Getting there from PVG and SHA Photo: Lloyd Tudor / CC BY-SA 4.0 From PVG: Maglev to Longyang Road then Metro Line 2 toward the city, or a taxi/Didi door to door — typically 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and exact address. From SHA Hongqiao, Metro Line 2 is usually the backbone; finish with a short walk or taxi. With Peninsula pricing, most guests simply Didi from the airport — the time saved beats Maglev transfers with luggage. ## Where it sits: The Bund Photo: King of Hearts / CC BY-SA 4.0 The north-central Bund address puts Nanjing Road and the promenade on foot. You are in the postcard, not across the river looking at it. Expect crowds on the waterfront; the hotel is the calm bubble you return to. Ready to compare dates? Live rates for The Peninsula Shanghai — no FlightLogic markup. ## Rooms and facilities Rooms are among Shanghai’s most spacious at this level, with Peninsula’s tech-and-bath signature. Suite categories and river views drive the rate ladder hard. Spa and 25 m pool are real amenities, not afterthoughts — book treatments early at weekends. ## Eating at the hotel and nearby Sir Elly’s rooftop is a destination in its own right; Yi Long Court covers Chinese fine dining. You need never leave for a special meal, though the Bund’s other tables are steps away. Budget for hotel dining if you want the full Peninsula experience. ## How it compares with our other Shanghai picks Vs Fairmont Peace: both Bund icons; Peninsula is newer ultra-luxury, Peace is art-deco heritage. Vs Waldorf: similar luxury tier, different heritage building story. Vs W: W is lifestyle; Peninsula is classical luxury. Peninsula wins when money is less important than the stay being flawless. ## Booking notes and practical tips Indicative nights £400–£800+. Book far ahead for holidays and major events.
