To celebrate the re-opening of a Shanghai icon,
the city and Fairmont Peace Hotel have issued limited edition
Fairmont Peace Hotel Commemorative Postal Gift Album. These
collector’s items will be available to be hand-chopped by two
Postal Bureau officers in full regalia on the hotel’s opening day
– Wednesday, 28 July, 2010.
The officers will be posted at the hotel’s side
entrance on Nanjing Road East, in front of Victor ' s cafe, from
8am to 2pm. Postal sets are available for purchase from the two
nearby Post Offices – the Bund Post Office at 420 Sichuan Zhong
Road (operation hours 7am-7pm), and Jinlin Post Office at 71
Jinlin Dong Road(operation hours 7:30am and 6pm) on 28 July. They
are priced at RMB5 for a commemorative First Day Cover chopped
with the Bund scenery postmark, and RMB100 for the full
commemorative set.
After more than three years of
meticulous renovations, the Fairmont Peace Hotel reopens its
revolving art deco doors on 28 July, almost 81 years to the day
since it was first opened by businessman and bon vivant Sir Victor
Sassoon. The 270-room Fairmont Peace Hotel’s hallowed halls,
restaurants, lounges and guestrooms are imbued with memories of
historic occasions and famous guests – and every corner of the
hotel is now ready to host a new generation of luxury travellers
and exclusive functions and festivities.
