Shanghai grand hotel opens

SHANGHAI has celebrated the opening of the Peninsula Hotel on the site of the former British Consulate.  Comprising of 235 rooms and suites it fronts the historic Bund, a feature of Shanghai, and offers stunning views of the Bund itself, the Huang Pu River and Pudong with its ultra modern buildings.  Unlike its competitors across the river the Shanghai Peninsula’s style is classical, seamlessly fitting in with its grand neighbours along one of the city’s most famous tourist destinations.  The interior is Art Deco.  The hotel features five diverse restaurants and bars offering a variety of cuisines and ambiences – The Lobby, The Chinese Restaurant, The Rooftop Restaurant, Bar and Terrace, the Nautical Bar and the Salon de Ning, each reflecting a different facet of Shanghai’s history and culture. www.peninsula.com
