Restoration of Shanghai’s parade of landmark buildings – the Bund – passes a key milestone this week as the famed Peace Hotel throws open its doors.

When it was completed in 1929, tycoon Victor Sassoon’s art deco hotel-residence, known as the Cathay Hotel, was among the most famous properties worldwide.
