Raffles Welcomes Shanghai’s Peace Hotel

Accor and Jinjiang International Group have unveiled a new chapter for the iconic Peace Hotel, cherished as one of Shanghai’s treasured landmarks. Initially constructed in 1929 by Sir Victor Sassoon as the Cathay Hotel, this art deco gem has been under Jinjiang Group’s ownership since 1984 and joined Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in 2010. The renowned hotel will remain operational throughout its transformation. It will launch in 2027 as the Raffles Peace Hotel Shanghai, a flagship collection featuring the Raffles Singapore and the Raffles London at The OWO.

“As a century-old cultural landmark in Shanghai, the new Peace Hotel will not only blend history and modernity but also provide a fresh way to share the story of Shanghai with global guests.

Accor and Jinjiang International Group have established a reliable partnership, laying a solid foundation for the Peace Hotel’s future. Accor’s global reputation in luxury hospitality is well-known, and the Raffles brand is poised to infuse vitality into this iconic establishment. Raffles aligns perfectly with the Peace Hotel’s century-old heritage, capable of delivering a guest experience that celebrates the charm of Shanghai culture.

At the upcoming Raffles Peace Hotel Shanghai, both visitors and locals can look forward to an atmosphere of refined elegance that showcases fine art and design, outstanding cuisine, and personalized service.

Blending the brand’s combination of hospitality, sophistication, and elements of Chinese cultural heritage, Raffles Peace Hotel Shanghai aims to be a hub of inspiration, culture, and culinary and bar experiences that Raffles guests worldwide have come to cherish.
