Staying at The Peninsula Shanghai
01 Where is The Peninsula Shanghai and how do I get there?
It's at 32 Zhongshan East 1st Road, at the northern end of the Bund where the Huangpu meets Suzhou Creek, beside the former British Consulate gardens. The Waibaidu Bridge is right outside, the Rockbund art district is within walking distance, and Yu Garden is about 20 minutes on foot.
02 What are the rooms and suites like?
There are 235 rooms and suites. The entry Deluxe Room is 56m², with a king bed or twins — among the largest entry rooms in the city. Families can take the Two-Bedroom Grand Deluxe River Suite, about 120m², a true two-bedroom with river views, and the presidential Peninsula Suite runs to 400m².
03 Who is this stay best for?
Travellers who want the Bund at the door and Art Deco glamour with Peninsula service — a fleet of house cars, afternoon tea in The Lobby — and families who need a genuine two-bedroom suite rather than connecting rooms. It's one of the stays on our Classic China: Warriors, Pandas & Stone Pillars journey.
