“Bund icon with peerless river views”
The Peninsula Shanghai holds its perch at the head of the Bund, with river-view suites framing the Huangpu and the Lujiazui skyline — best taken from a private terrace at night. Suites mix Art Deco and old-Shanghai style: walk-in closets, marble double tubs, underfloor heating and smart panels, all impeccably maintained past the ten-year mark. Michelin dining, a ceremonial lobby afternoon tea and a sixth-floor heated pool impress; flexible Peninsula Time check-in and checkout win praise, and the front desk freely upgraded one guest. A small gripe: breakfast pancakes arrive in huge portions.
