Fairmont Peace Hotel | A Time Capsule of a Century of Glamour

| A Time Capsule of a Century of Glamour With the end of Blossoms, the extravagant and glamorous era of old Shanghai has also come to an end. What does old Shanghai look like in your mind? Is it the legendary stories of the people of the Bund, or the elegant dance steps on the stage of the Paramount? Is it the ups and downs of the Oriental Wall Street in the Bund buildings, or the long-lasting love stories in the Shikumen houses in the alleys? When you slowly push open the retro revolving door, you will feel like you are being swept into a time vortex, instantly transported to the 1930s Shanghai, where retro and luxury are intertwined. It is often said that "to see a century of China, look at Shanghai; to see a century of Shanghai, look at the Bund." So, where should you look to explore the century-old glamour of the Bund? If you could only choose one of the century-old buildings on the Bund, I would unhesitatingly choose the Peace Hotel. How lucky I am to step into the Peace Hotel again, following in the footsteps of Charlie Chaplin, and embark on an immersive time-travel journey surrounded by jazz music. From the jazz bar to the romantic and elegant Jasmine Lounge; from the nine national suites that have hosted countless celebrities to the Cathay Room with the best view of the Bund, every corner here seems to freeze the old Shanghai's past, and every detail is engraved with the unique charm of time. 💐 On the first floor of the hotel, there is an absolute must-see spot - the East Corridor, which is the same filming location as the movie Tiny Times 3: The Golden Age. The retro carved hollow chandeliers cast a warm yellow glow, the exquisite relief dome exudes artistic charm, and the elegant and heavy carpet shows extraordinary taste. Every detail showcases luxury to the fullest, making it a textbook example of luxury. Photography enthusiasts should not miss this treasure trove of photo opportunities. 💐 The vintage staircase is also a great choice for taking photos. The rustic staircase handrails and the fresh and elegant macaron green mosaic wall tiles make for atmospheric close-up shots. From a high angle, the unique spiral staircase can create a unique perspective full of creativity and fun. 💐 The Peace Museum on the mezzanine floor of the hotel is like a vivid historical scroll, a window to learn more about the history of the Peace Hotel. The museum displays a large number of precious photos, old objects, newspapers, and historical materials from the hotel's inception to the present. Through them, we can clearly touch the past of Shanghai and feel the changes of the times in this city.
