Opened in 2009, The Peninsula Shanghai plays with the style of the 1930s when the Chinese harbor city fascinated the world with its irresistible blend of glamour and bohemia. Its location couldn’t be any better—fronting the Bund, the legendary grand boulevard on the western shore of Huangpu. Giant wall murals in shades of green frame the hotel’s lobby, where huge crystal chandeliers dazzle. Art Deco style furnishings made from ebony and mahogany, black laquerwork, and artfully engraved glass promise guests a luxurious experience.
