The Peninsula Shanghai — backstory

Backstory

When it opened in 2009, the granite-clad property was the first new building permitted on the historic Bund in sixty years.

The Peninsula Shanghai — eat & drink

Eat & drink

Cantonese delicacies are served in a merchant-mansion setting at Yi Long Court, while Sir Elly's rooftop terrace overlooks the Lujiazui skyline.

The neighborhood

Set at the junction of Suzhou Creek and the Huangpu River, the promenade's colonial-era facades stretch south just outside the front doors.

“...with its soaring, marble-clad Art Deco lobby... it already feels like it's been here more or less forever.”
