Located on The Bund in bustling Shanghai, the Peace Hotel has been a Chinese landmark for almost a century. The hotel is situated on Nanjing Road, busiest shopping mall in Shangahai, overlooking the Huangpu River. Constructed in 1929, the Peace Hotel, formerly known as the Cathay Hotel, has been known as the “Number 1 Mansion in the Far East”.

The hotel itself is made up of two former hotels separated by a street, with the North and South buildings being constructed in 1929 and 1906, respectively. In 1949, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, both buildings re-opened, using the Peace Hotel name.
