The Fairmont Peace Hotel in Shanghai has opened
its doors following the culmination of a comprehensive restoration
program after the property’s closure in 2007.
The hotel, which officially opened on 1 August 1929
and
enjoys a prime location along the Bund, is famous for its grandeur,
including the distinctive copper-sheathed roof 77 meters above
ground, white Italian marble floors, and priceless Lalique glass
artwork.
The internationally acclaimed design firm Hirsch Bedner
Associates (HBA), worked closely with a team of leading designers,
architects and historians to recreate the grandeur and majesty of
the landmark property and embody the spirit of its glamorous
art-deco heritage.
The newly revitalised Fairmont
Peace Hotel offers 270 deluxe guestrooms and suites with a
selection of six restaurants and lounges. Included among these is
the much-loved Jazz Bar, a Shanghai institution since the 1930s,
Signature Chinese restaurant Dragon Phoenix and The Cathay Room,
offering views of the Bund from its terrace on the 9th
floor. The 8th floor will also host the famed Peace Hall, where
the property’s iconic sprung-wooden dance floor still evokes
memories of old Shanghai cabarets and gala parties.
Guestrooms feature 1930s period flourishes along with
contemporary comforts and cutting-edge technology. Starting at a
spacious 45 square metres, the guestrooms feature a soft colour
palette and tailored art deco motifs and furnishings.
State-of-the-art in-room technology includes a 37-inch plasma
stereo TV, a bath-side LCD screen, blue-ray DVD player and
wireless and broadband Internet with ‘plug-and-play’ connectivity.
Additional room amenities include Illy espresso machines,
400-thread-count Egyptian cotton bed linens and exclusive Miller
Harris Cologne Series 1888 bath products.
A new
extension to the building houses a sky-lit swimming pool and a
Willow Stream Spa. The famous ‘Nine Nations Suites’ will remain a
feature while a new presidential suite occupies the 10th floor
penthouse where the hotel’s flamboyant creator and former owner,
Sir Victor Sassoon, once lived.
Room rates at Fairmont Peace Hotel
start from RMB2, 600 + 15% service charge per room per night
for a Fairmont Room. The hotel is also offering an introductory
package of book 3 nights and receive the 4th night free of charge
which will be valid until the 31 August 2010.
