The unparalleled level of service and meticulous attention to detail make this hotel a standout. Rooms, with classic and elegant décor, are outfitted with bedside electronic control panels and flat-screen televisions. The sprawling spa and fitness center (and beautiful sky-high indoor pool) feature the most up-to-date equipment and cutting edge treatments. Pets at the Peninsula are pampered as much as their masters with special beds, their own room service menus and doggie massages. The hotel’s restaurants, including the fine-dining room Avenues and more casual Shanghai Terrace are some of the city’s most acclaimed.
