Shangri-La will extend its existing hotel Dalian with the addition of a further 192 rooms and residences.
The existing Shangri-La Hotel Dalian, which overlooks the harbour in the northeast Chinese city, currently features 563 rooms with 195 serviced apartments. Now, the company has decided to add a new 40-storey tower to the property, which will house an additional 110 rooms and 82 residences. The extension will take the hotel’s total inventory to 673 rooms and 277 serviced apartments, making it the largest hotel in the city when the project is completed in 2015.
Occupying the top floors of the new tower, the new rooms, which will be a minimum of 50m², will offer panoramic views of the city or harbour. The new serviced apartments will range from one to three bedrooms.
“With the addition of the new tower, Shangri-La Hotel Dalian will reinforce its position as the leading hotel in Dalian and the region,” said General Manager Patrick Low. “It will allow us to better cater to the increasing demand for luxury accommodation, innovative restaurants, and comprehensive meeting facilities for local, regional and international guests.”
The new tower will also house a new restaurant and gourmet shop, adding to the hotel’s five existing restaurants and bars, while a new 700m² ballroom and 150m² VIP room will expand the hotel’s meeting and event space.
