Palace Hotel, Heritage hotel on the Bund, Shanghai, China
The Palace Hotel stands as a multi-story Renaissance building with pointed arches, semi-circular windows, and intricate carvings at its Nanjing Road entrance point.
The structure began as Central Hotel in 1854, underwent major renovations in 1903, and installed the first two electric elevators in Shanghai during its transformation.
The hotel hosted the 1909 International Opium Commission meeting and provided accommodations for Sun Yat-sen during his revolutionary activities in 1911.
After extensive renovations in 2010, the building reopened as the Swatch Art Peace Hotel, offering exhibition spaces and luxury accommodations on the Bund.
The hotel maintains an Artist in Residence program that has hosted over 250 international artists who contribute works to the permanent collection.
