Fairmont Peace Hotel
Fairmont Peace Hotel is Shanghai’s Art Deco icon on the Bund, combining 270 historic rooms, legendary jazz and extraordinary Huangpu views with one of the city’s richest hotel stories.
Fairmont Peace Hotel stands at the corner of the Bund and Nanjing Road East, occupying the former Cathay Hotel at one of Shanghai’s most famous intersections.
Opened in 1929, the building remains an Art Deco landmark. The hotel preserves that heritage through geometric interiors, period details, a dedicated Peace Museum and a remarkable collection of historic artifacts.
The property offers around 270 rooms including 39 suites, with the celebrated Nine Nation Suites interpreting Chinese, Indian, English, American and European decorative traditions. The Sassoon Suite occupies the former penthouse of hotel founder Victor Sassoon.
The Jazz Bar remains a signature Shanghai institution, while the Cathay Room terrace looks across the Huangpu toward Pudong. A heated indoor pool and spa add quieter leisure space inside the historic building.
Fairmont Peace Hotel is best for travelers who want Shanghai history to be inseparable from the stay, combining Bund location, architecture, music and old-world glamour in a way no modern tower can replicate.
