The Peninsula Shanghai kicks off the celebration with The Peninsula EXPO-rience, a value-added luxury accommodation package starting at approximately $370/night plus taxes. Valid from May 1- October 30, 2010, The Peninsula EXPO-rience includes:

• One night’s accommodation for two in a Superior Room

• Shuttle bus transportation to and from the Expo site

The Peninsula Shanghai -- the first new building on the world-famous Bund in more than 60 years -- heralds the return of parent company The Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited to Shanghai, where it owned and operated four of the city’s premier hotels from the 1920s to the 1950s.  

The Peninsula Shanghai celebrates its grand opening with the “Shanghai Celebration” package featuring rooms starting at approximately $295/night plus taxes. Valid from now until December 31, 2010, the package includes:

• Accommodations in a Superior Room
• Daily American breakfast

The Peninsula Shanghai offers stunning facilities, unmatched views and unparalleled service in an Art Deco-inspired setting, echoing the style and architectural charm of its venerated neighbors on the Bund. The Peninsula Spa by ESPA, renowned in-room technology, luxe suites and restaurant options including the plush Salon de Ning and Sir Elly’s are among the host of amenities offered to Peninsula Shanghai guests.

Following an extensive renovation, The Bund, a one-mile stroll beside the Huangpu River -- one of the world’s most celebrated promenades -- affords spectacular views both of futuristic Pudong and the Bund’s collection of heritage buildings representing more than 50 individual architectural styles, reminiscent of the era when Shanghai was the center of Chinese economy and culture in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with consulates, banks and businesses from yesteryear making an eclectic and artistic architectural statement.
