Two more for Shangri-La in Shanghai
HONG KONG – Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts will open two luxury hotels in Puxi, Shanghai in 2011.
The hotels will be the focal points of the new Jing An Kerry Centre, Shanghai on Nanjing Road – a new business, retail, entertainment, dining and conference complex designed to become a city landmark in the heart of the Jing An District.
The 347-room Jing An Shangri-La, Shanghai, opening mid-2011, will occupy the top 24 floors of a 58-storey, Grade A building, with the lower floors comprising restaurants, offices and retail shops.
Also included will be CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La, the group’s signature spa brand, health club and pool.
The Shangri-La’s Jing An Kerry Centre Hotel will be modelled on the group’s similarly contemporary Kerry Centre Hotel in Beijing.
The 600-room, 43-storey hotel will open the end of 2011.
Designer retail shops will face Nanjing Road at street level. Guests on the 116-room Horizon Club floors will have access to a spacious club lounge.
Additional facilities will include a 3,100-sqm health club and swimming pool with outdoor terrace. A fifth-floor roof garden will be used for weddings, events and as a conference pre-function area.
Both hotels will overlook a 3,000-sqm “town square” central courtyard featuring pathways, gardens, water features and al fresco dining.
Within the courtyard, a piece of history will be preserved. Shangri-La will work with the Jing An District Government to restore and preserve the existing home in which Chairman Mao spent several months in 1920.
The hotels will share 4,570 sqm of meeting and conference space located between the hotels.
