Readers of Travel + Leisure voted six Shangri-La luxury hotels to the 2008 “T+L 500.” The list features 500 of the world’s best hotels as selected by subscribers and appears in the magazine’s January 2008 issue. 

Shangri-La’s winning hotels are:
• Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong
• Kowloon Shangri-La, Hong Kong
• Pudong Shangri-La, Shanghai
• Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore
• Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok
• Shangri-La’s Far Eastern Plaza, Taipei

The “T+L 500” results are based upon the 2007 “World’s Best Awards” survey in which Travel + Leisure subscribers evaluated hotels on five characteristics: rooms and facilities, location, service, restaurants and food, and value. The publication calculated the average rating of each characteristic and tabulated each property’s overall score.
