| In 1926 Victor Sassoon , a rich jewish from a Bagdad family, created the Cathay Hotel, also called Sassoon House, a luxury complex with hotel and shopping galleries. The specifications of Sir Sassoon to the architects were very clear: Build higher than the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank and provide customers with the finest accommodation and luxury services as possible. This amazing art-deco gem soon became the place for both elites from business and cinema worlds to gather. In the top of the building there was a night club, the Tower Night Club, with gambling ( roulette).The hotel is nowadays the Fairmont peace Hotel. |
