China: Flyer for Shanghai's Cathay and Metropole Hotels, both owned by Cathay Hotels Ltd., c. 1930

The Peace Hotel (Chinese: 和平饭店) is a hotel on The Bund in Shanghai, China which overlooks the Huangpu River. The hotel today operates as two separate businesses. The North Building, built as Sassoon House, originally housed the Cathay Hotel and is today the Fairmont Peace Hotel run by Fairmont Hotels and Resorts of Canada.

In 1930, the Shanghai Metropole Hotel, built by Mr. Saxon, Chairman of the Jewish Confederation, topped the European style buildings with its Baroque tower. Shanghai Metropole Hotel neighbors the Bund on the East, the Yu Garden on the south, the People's Square on the West, and the Walking Street of Nanjing Road on the north.
