Listen to the Peace Hotel Jazz Band

The Peace Hotel Jazz Band is a national institution, and has been playing since the advent of television. The Peace Hotel was also famous for hosting expat socialites in the 1930s, one of which was the legendary Emily Hahn, who became Romantically linked with Victor Sassoon, whose family built the hotel. She used to dress up her pet gibbon in a smoking jacket and diaper for dinner parties. She also had a child with the head of British Army Intelligence in Hong Kong, and slapped a Japanese general in the face while giving him English lessons while she was a POW…legend. But I digress. You must go here, for not only the history but also the atmosphere.
