Hilton ushers in the new year with the opening of Conrad Shanghai – marking the brand’s first foray into the bustling metropolis together with owning company, Shimao Hotel Management Group.
Located on People’s Square, the hotel has 66 floors and 728 luxurious rooms with unparalleled views of the East Nanjing Road commercial street, the Bund, and Pudong’s iconic skyline.
The hotel is located in a prime location just steps away from major transportation networks and metro lines, offering guests excellent accessibility to premium shopping malls, traditional local neighbourhoods, and popular attractions such as the Shanghai Museum, Shanghai Grand Theatre, Xintiandi, the Bund, and Yu Garden.
Inspired by Chinese philosophy and architecture, Conrad Shanghai weaves traditional elements with the modern glamour of Shanghai to create a sense of place that bridges the past, present and future.
Each of the 728 spacious guest rooms features smart connectivity and floor-to-ceiling windows. All rooms come with scented bath and body products by the trendy European luxury brand Byredo.
The hotel’s 60 expansive luxury suites, including the Presidential Suite, feature residential touches and access to the Executive Lounge on level 44.
Guests can expect exclusive concierge services, comfortable workspaces, complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea and evening cocktails, and other elite benefits at the Executive Lounge.
