    “Title: A Wonderful Stay in an Iconic Shanghai Hotel We had a wonderful stay at the Fairmont Peace Hotel, an iconic property with an exceptional location right on Nanjing Road and just steps away from the Bund. It is an ideal base for exploring Shanghai, combining history, character and a truly privileged location. Our room was very comfortable and impeccably maintained, and the overall standard of service throughout the hotel was excellent. We would particularly like to highlight the Concierge team, who were outstanding. They were consistently professional, efficient and extremely helpful, assisting us brilliantly with several matters during our stay and making a real difference to our experience. The only aspect that we felt could be improved concerns the hotel's restaurants. We dined at both the Dragon Phoenix and The Cathay Room, and although we appreciated the quality and setting, we were disappointed that the kitchens close at 9:00 pm. On both occasions, we also felt some pressure to have the various courses served too quickly, sometimes almost at the same time. This took away from the pleasure of enjoying a relaxed dinner, which we would expect to be an important part of the experience in restaurants of this standard. We fully understand the need for kitchen closing times, but we believe the service should be organised in a way that allows guests with accepted reservations to enjoy their meal at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. Overall, however, the Fairmont Peace Hotel was an excellent experience. Its unique character, superb location, high standard of service and exceptional Concierge team make it a hotel we would certainly recommend and would be very happy to return to.”
