01 / Location comes first
Choose the right location
A Bund hotel address and a Bund-view room are different purchases. This shortlist compares Fairmont Peace Hotel by East Nanjing Road with The Peninsula at the northern end of the historic Bund. Choose the stretch of riverfront you want to return to, then read the exact room description for the view you expect.
| Area | Best suited to | The tradeoff |
|---|---|---|
| East Nanjing Road and the central Bund | A stay anchored at the shopping-street junction | A central riverfront location may mean busy streets around the hotel. |
| Northern end of the historic Bund | A riverfront base near the Suzhou Creek end | Do not confuse this stretch of the historic Bund with a listing elsewhere marketed as North Bund. |
East Nanjing Road and the central Bund
A stay anchored at the shopping-street junction
This is the address comparison for combining the Bund promenade with the East Nanjing Road area.
Fairmont distinguishes its postal address from its vehicle drop-off address.
Northern end of the historic Bund
A riverfront base near the Suzhou Creek end
Compare the northern stretch when the hotel setting and riverfront atmosphere are the main draw.
The Peninsula's official address is No. 32 The Bund, Zhongshan Dong Yi Road.

Fairmont Peace Hotel
A stay by East Nanjing Road and the riverfront
The official 20 Nanjing Road East address makes it a direct comparison for this part of the Bund.
Confirm the exact room view. For a car arrival, use the hotel's separate Dianchi Road instructions.
The Peninsula Shanghai
Travellers prioritising the northern historic Bund
The hotel is at No. 32 The Bund, with Art Deco-inspired interiors described on its official site.
The riverfront address does not mean every room has the same outlook; compare categories before paying.

Your stay, made simpler
Does a hotel near the Bund guarantee a river-view room?
No. A hotel address establishes location, while the booked room category establishes the promised outlook. Look for explicit view wording and ask about partial or obstructed views if it matters.
Is a hotel across the river the same as staying on the Bund?
No. This page compares hotels on the historic Bund side. A Pudong room looking back across the river is a different location choice, with a separate journey to the promenade.
Which address should I use for a Fairmont taxi?
The hotel's guest-services page directs vehicle arrivals and departures to 63 Dianchi Road. Its postal address remains 20 East Nanjing Road.
