The Peace Hotel, is a world famous hotel on The Bund in Shanghai, China in the former British Concession and overlooking the Huangpu River. The North Building is the former Cathay Hotel, built in 1929 by the Hong Kong based Victor Sassoon, an British Sephardic Jew of Iraqi origin. Following the Communist takeover, it was confiscated and reopened as a hotel in 1956. It is particularly renowned for its Jazz Band and its roof terrace restaurant, overlooking the now booming district of Pudong across the Huangpu. The South Building, across the street, is the former Palace Hotel, built in 1906. After the founding of the People's Republic it was closed, and reopened in 1965 as a wing of the Peace Hotel.
