Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, Asia Pacific's leading luxury hotel group, will open Shangri-La's Kerry Centre Hotel, Pudong Shanghai in 2010. This will be the group’s second Shanghai hotel in addition to the Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai.
Designed by US-based Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates PC and Hong Kong-based Aedas Ltd, the 574-room hotel will be located in the Kerry Centre, Pudong Shanghai, a 230,000-square-metre multi-purpose complex that will include serviced apartments, a retail mall and an office tower. It is a 30-minute drive from Pudong International Airport and a 15-minute drive to the World Expo site. The city’s underground subway Route No. 7 terminal station is being built adjacent to the new centre.
Contemporary styled and featuring Century Park views, the hotel's guestrooms will measure a minimum of 42 square metres. The five floors of Horizon Club accommodation, Shangri-La’s exclusive retreat for discerning travellers, will offer a host of special amenities and privileges, including the Horizon Club lounge for daily breakfast and cocktails, meeting rooms, and express check-in and check-out services.
Dining and entertainment options will include an all-day café, a Chinese restaurant, a speciality restaurant and a lobby lounge.
The hotel will feature a 6,000-square-metre recreational “mega sports club.” Occupying two floors, the sports club will include a gym, a swimming pool, tennis and badminton courts, a yoga studio, a lounge and juice bar. A 600-square-metre “adventure zone” will be a play fantasy come true for children. The club will also provide outdoor areas for team building and exercise.
Meeting and banqueting facilities will include a 2,400-square-metre grand ballroom and a 1,200-square-metre junior ballroom, which can be connected to create one space, with a large pre-function area.
A business, conference and office centre will provide secretarial support, courier services, copy shop, travel desk, workstations, meeting rooms and conference facilities in addition to serviced offices for short and long term rental.
