Shangri-La Hotel Ulaanbaatar to Open 3 June 2015

Primed to open in the heart of Ulaanbaatar on 3 June is Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts’ latest luxury hotel, the Shangri-La Hotel, Ulaanbaatar.

Visitors arriving in Mongolia’s capital and largest city will find the property within walking distance of the famous Government House and Great Chinggis Khan Square, and centrally accessible to the country’s vivid landscape of picturesque steppes, historic monasteries and grasslands.

The 290-room hotel is connected to Ulaanbaatar’s a mixed-used development, the Shangri-La Centre. The 28-storey centre, which debuts in 2016, encompasses exclusive apartments, four floors of retail and 19 floors of upscale commercial space. Other features include a 7,200-square-metre sports club with an indoor swimming pool, gym, jacuzzi and sauna, as well as a separate two-level Kids Zone for children to enjoy dedicated entertainment.

Overlooking Nayramdal Park to the south or the Great Chinggis Khaan Square to the north, the guestrooms are amongst Ulaanbaatar’s largest and start from 42 square metres. Each room is furnished with complimentary Wi-Fi, an executive desk, marble bathroom and a window seating area to admire the vistas and snow-capped mountain ranges.

Luxurious interiors continue in the suites that are spaciously sized at 84 square metres and configured with a separate master bedroom and living area for an entourage or family travelling together.

Providing an even higher level of personalised service on the hotel’s uppermost floors is the Horizon Club, due to be opened in July. Guests enjoying access to the Horizon Club Lounge, which overlooks Nayramdal Park, are also entitled to express check-in and check-out service, complimentary breakfast, all day beverages, cocktails and canapés in the evening, and use of the meeting room daily.

Dining options at Shangri-La Hotel, Ulaanbaatar begin with the all-day dining Cafe Park. Using copper motif inlay on pillars and multiple cooking stations to create a focal point, diners can experience a multi-cultural feast and the chefs’ signature dishes at either breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Naadam – named after Mongolia’s largest summer sporting festival – is a pub bar and grill featuring western food, music and entertainment.

Opening in August is Hutong, a restaurant that will serve a variety of Chinese cuisine, including Beijing Duck, clay pot stews and dishes typical of Northern China, alongside an extensive collection of wines.

Guests looking for a gathering point for conversation and casual meetings will be catered for with light meals and beverages at the Lobby Lounge.

Specifically designed to host conference and celebratory events, Shangri-La Hotel, Ulaanbaatar has 2,643 square metres of meeting space. Eight rooms, including the 1,300-square-metre pillar-free Grand Ballroom capable of accommodating more than 800 guests, complete the multi-purpose function rooms.

The fully equipped Health Club allows guests to stay in shape or relax with gym, jacuzzi, sauna and steam facilities, and massage options.
