Fairmont Peace Hotel

About

The Fairmont Peace Hotel is a living legend, once known as the Cathay Hotel and the 'Grand Hotel of the Orient.' This Art Deco masterpiece, with its signature green copper pyramid roof, has hosted royalty and celebrities like Charlie Chaplin and Bernard Shaw. The sensory experience is like stepping back into the 1930s, with Lalique glass panels and a magnificent octagonal lobby. It is the spiritual heart of the Bund. Expert recommendation: You must visit the 'Old Jazz Bar' to hear the world's oldest jazz band perform nightly. Pro Tip: Take the hotel’s historical tour to learn about the building’s founder, Sir Victor Sassoon. Even if you aren't staying, the rooftop terrace offers one of the most classic views of the river and the neon-lit Nanjing Road.
