in China, the Shanghai Peace Hotel has been a Shanghai Landmark for nearly a
century.

and rooms such as the recently restored dining room are frequently featured in

impressive array of services and facilities.
The hotel also features the 'Old
Jazz Band', a group of Jazz veterans who play in the hotel's English-style bar

Rooms
& Rate
The
hotel has 380 beautifully furnished rooms, all carefully preserved in their
original 1930s style. In its heyday in the 30's the hotel was a base for many
famous artists including Song Qingling, Charlie Chaplin, George Bernard Shaw
and Noel Coward.
Guest rooms are equipped with colour cable / satellite
TV, IDD and DDD, safe box, mini bar, separate shower bath (TV in bathroom in every suite
and superior room), smoke sensor and SOS button.
Hotel Facilities
There are numerous
restaurants, bars, banquet halls and business facilities in the hotel, all
serving the high class cuisine one would expect from a hotel of this standard.
The Hotel's Jazz Bar was once a hangout for Shanghai sophisticates.
The band still play fantastic tunes today, although the bar itself has become
more of a tourist joint than a trendy hang out and the "Cover
Charge" to get into the place to enjoy this experience is a bit of a rip
off!
Others facilities include a fully equipped
gymnasium, beauty and massage parlor and foreign languages book store.
The Peace Hotel
really is the only hotel of this kind in Shanghai. It offers a fascinating
insight into Shanghai's history and is a charming and beautiful relic of times
and lives, gone by.

successfully!
