According to this month's issue of Travel + Leisure, The Peninsula Shanghai is the world's best hotel for business.
The hotel was voted for by Travel + Leisure readers, and scored an impressive 97.78 score out of 100. It was one of the only hotels in China to make it into the magazine's "Top 5 Hotels for Business Worldwide 2012" list.
Seven other Peninsula Hotels — including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Bangkok, Beijing, Hong Kong, and Tokyo — were also highly rated in their respective "Best Business Hotels" city listings, all finishing in the top three.
But due to its gorgeous lobby, sophisticated restaurants, and sleek meeting rooms, The Peninsula Shanghai stood a head above the rest.
