Special Rate at Shanghai’s Magnificent Fairmont Peace Hotel, Newly Restored

Shanghai's Fairmont Peace Hotel reopened in summer 2010 to much fanfare. To quote CNN: "Like a sleeping beauty the Fairmont Peace Hotel has been roused from a lengthy slumber with a spectacular face lift that modernizes the celebrated hotel while remaining true to its history." In its heyday in the 1920's, the hotel was known as the "Number One mansion in the Far East" because of its luxurious accents (white Italian marble floors, Lalique glass artwork) and prime Shanghai setting on the Bund. After a restoration by the acclaimed design firm Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), the landmark hotel has recaptured its glamorous Art Deco heritage. Eager to experience this beautiful property first-hand? For a limited time the hotel is offering a special package called "The Fairmont Peace Hotel - 2010 History Begins."
