The Peninsula Shanghai: The Last Great Building on the Bund

The Peninsula Shanghai holds a singular position as the last great building erected on the historic Bund, an Art Deco landmark overlooking the Huangpu River and the Pudong skyline, with the only riverfront lawns on the waterfront.

The dining matches the address. Yi Long Court holds three Michelin stars for its Cantonese cooking, Sir Elly's Restaurant serves contemporary European fare on the 13th floor, and Sir Elly's Terrace pours cocktails with a view of both skylines. The Compass Bar brings live music, and The Lobby carries the hotel's celebrated afternoon tea beneath Art Deco detailing.

For a Shanghai stay steeped in the city's 1930s golden age, none is more evocative.
