Shangri-La Will Open its First Hotel in China

Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has announced it will finally enter the Chinese hotel market. The company will open a hotel in Changsha, Hunan Province. The accommodation will be managed through an agreement with Huayuan Real Estate Beijing – one of the largest and most famous Chinese real estate companies.

Changsha is the capital of the province and the largest city of the region, which is situated on the bank of Xiang River. The hotel, which will have 460 guestrooms, may start operating in 2015.

This luxurious accommodation will be a part of a mixed-use development. Besides the Shangri-La hotel this development will include an office tower, a chain of boutique shops, several residential buildings, and an exhibition center. The location of the hotel is quite advantageous too – it is located in Tianxin District, which is not far away from the city’s main business streets Furong and Wuyi Roads. It will take around 30 minutes for guests to reach the hotel from the airport and approximately 15 minutes from the main train station of the city.

Shangri-La Hotel in Changsha will occupy all 20 top floors up to the highest one of this 268m high construction. The hotel’s rooms will feature amazing looks of the Juzizhou Island located in the middle of the Xiang River. The hotel will have 430 guestrooms (the average size of the ordinary guestroom estimates 45 square meters), 29 Bay Suites with the sizes varying from 135 and up to 225 square meters, and one 300 sq. m. large Bay Presidential Suite.

On the territory of the hotel will be also located an all-day restaurant, a restaurant serving Chinese cuisine, a specialty restaurant on the top of the building, a bar in lobby, and a tea lounge. Other facilities include a swimming pool, a health club, a spa center, 10 meeting rooms, a junior ballroom (500 sq. m. large), and a huge grand ballroom (2,000 sq. m. large).
