Sassoon House, Art Deco skyscraper in Huangpu District, China

The Sassoon House features a prominent tower overlooking the Bund, with a restored glass dome and marble-walled central arcade spanning multiple levels.

Sir Victor Sassoon constructed this building in 1929, establishing it as the Cathay Hotel and incorporating his company offices and private apartments.

The building represents Shanghai's transformation from a colonial port to an international city, combining Chinese and Western architectural elements.

Located at 20 Nanking Road, the structure contains retail spaces, hotel accommodations, and exhibition areas accessible through multiple entrances.

The central rotunda includes original rose marble walls and an Art Deco glass dome that underwent extensive restoration to match its 1929 appearance.
