SHANGHAI – 1929 by Guillaume Galliot (hereafter referred to as 1929 by GG) is nestled within the nearly century-old historic Jinbei Building of the Jinjiang Hotel (formerly known as the Cathay Mansion) in Shanghai. This new dining venture is a collaboration between the visionary onefifteen brand and acclaimed French chef Guillaume Galliot. Since its establishment in 2013, onefifteen has been known for its vision and commitment to the pursuit of “the good life”, and this partnership led to partnering with Michelin-starred culinary expert, Guillaume Galliot, to create a groundbreaking space that harmonizes French culinary excellence with local flavors.
The name 1929 pays homage to the original incarnation of the Cathay Mansion, which was built by Sassoon & Co. in 1929. During this golden era of rapid development in Shanghai, the building, with its distinctive linear design and towering presence, became an iconic landmark. The elegant European-style interiors attracted numerous expatriates, business travelers, and socialites, establishing its reputation as a symbol of refinement.
In 1951, the Cathay Mansion was renamed the Jinjiang Hotel. Over decades, this building has silently borne witness to Shanghai’s transformation from a thriving port city to a modern global metropolis, hosting renowned figures and government officials along the way. The timeless curved façade of the Jinbei Building remains a striking feature, echoing the city’s storied past and vibrant present. Today, 1929 by GG breathes new life into this historical gem, merging its architectural charm with contemporary aesthetics to offer guests a truly immersive dining experience.
Designing a Space that Transcends Time
The concept of 1929 by GG revolved around fostering a dialogue between the historical building and contemporary culinary artistry. The design respects the historical essence of the Jinbei Building, carefully preserving its unique character while seamlessly blending classic architectural elements with modern French aesthetics, which results in an immersive sensory dining experience that transports guests through time while offering unparalleled comfort and sophistication.
Main Dining Area
Located on the first floor, the dining area exudes a nostalgic yet elegant ambiance with lofty arched walls, warm teak flooring, and vintage Shanghai-style wooden armchairs juxtaposed with sleek leather upholstery and minimalist black-lacquered tables. Guests are invited to embark on a culinary journey featuring Chef Guillaume’s refined French dishes paired with a specially curated selection of wines.
Chef’s Table
Adjacent to the open kitchen, an intimate chef’s table for eight offers an exclusive dining experience, allowing guests to witness the artistry behind every dish. This space provides a private yet ceremonial setting, heightening the overall dining experience.
Bar Lounge
A cozy bar that is adjacent to the main dining area provides a relaxing space for guests to unwind with a pre-dinner aperitif or a post-meal coffee. The vintage-modern lighting design evokes the charm of 20th-century Shanghai, offering moments of tranquility and leisure for all.
Bar Salon (Second Floor)
Accessible via a hidden staircase behind a traditional Shanghai screen, the second floor recreates the glamour and social buzz of the 1929 era.
