Pride of place

The hotel was the playground of the rich and famous in the 1930s and 1940s and every part of this glamorous era is beautifully recounted on the most popular hotel tour conducted daily by the Peace museum curators, an unique way to appreciate and indulge in the unique and rich history of what makes this hotel and the city so special.

The current owner Jin Jiang International, contracted Fairmont for the challenging task of restoring this "one of a kind" icon-a restoration that took three years, striking a balance between timelessness and modernity when it reopened in 2020.

The opening of this new pedestrian walkway on this most famous address is symbolic of a new beginning when a city and its people come together as one to combat the novel coronavirus.

As businesses rebound so strongly with the support of purely domestic Chinese guests, the Fairmont Peace on the new Nanjing Road on the Bund is testament to Shanghai leading the way forward during the post-pandemic era.

"It's so humbling to see the support from Chinese guests in this unprecedented time. It just compels us to work harder to do more to make every experience at Peace more special, safe and comfortable,"Wee said."This is the core of our service culture-a service that anticipates your every need and an emotional connection that comes from the heart."
