The Peninsula is the classic splurge. It sits at No. 32 on the Bund and lists Michelin-starred restaurants, including Sir Elly’s on the 14th floor.
Breakfast is on the room-service menu, per the 2026 guest directory: continental RMB 190, full sets RMB 298, plus 16.6%. We couldn’t confirm the pool, spa, gym or parking, so they don’t score. The ranking reflects that, not the hotel.
The North Bund terminal is about 1.1 km away. Ask the concierge to arrange the ride.
