Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo has launched a range of
special promotions in celebration of the first year anniversary of
its opening on 2 March 2009. From 15 February to 30 June

The commemorative gift is a Japanese

exceptionally republished on the occasion of the hotel’s opening
and is now only available as an amenity in each guestroom.
For guests who wish to try their luck, the Shangri-La
Surprise package offers a Deluxe room from JPY49,665 per night
(approximately USD554, tax and service charge included) with a
Shangri-La Surprise envelope from 15 February through 31 May 2010.
Guests can draw an envelope upon arrival to win instantly one of
the five prizes. Prizes include a room upgrade, lunch for two at Piacere, afternoon tea for two at the Lobby Lounge, a spa
treatment at CHI, The Spa at Shangri-La, or an upgrade to an
Executive Suite spanning 120 square metres that is usually sold at
JPY250,000 (approximately USD2,787) per night. Moreover,
Shangri-La Surprise package reservations for stays from 15
February to 19 March 2010 made via shangri la.com will be

In
addition, from 1 March through 31 May 2010, special commemorative
menus will be introduced at all dining outlets and at CHI, the
hotel’s spa.
“I am pleased and proud to celebrate the first year
anniversary, which is an important milestone. Only one year after
our opening, Shangri-La Hotel, Tokyo has received several
accolades from around the world. These include being named one of
the best five hotels for comfort in the 2010 Tokyo Michelin Guide,
one of the best new business hotels by Wallpaper and Fortune as
well as one of the top 10 spas in Japan at the Crystal Award 2010

dedicated colleagues, guests and suppliers, all of whom have
helped make these accomplishments possible. I look forward to the
future and capturing more achievements in the coming years,” said
