Kempinski Takes Over Management of Hotel in Shanghai

Kempinski has taken over the management of the Gran Meliá Hotel Shanghai in Pudong, Shanghai.

Opened in February 2010, the hotel was rebranded as Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai on 15 May 2013, becoming the group’s 18th property in China.

Grand Kempinski Hotel Shanghai is centrally located in the Lujiazui financial and trade section of the Pudong district and offers sweeping views of the Huangpu River and the Shanghai skyline.

Two international airports, Pudong and Hongqiao, can be reached within 45 minutes by car, and many of Shanghai’s landmarks and sights, such as the Pearl Tower, the Jin Mao Tower and The Bund, are easily accessible on foot or by car.

The hotel features 678 rooms and suites, the majority of which overlook the Bund skyline. The rooms are contemporary in design and range from 43 to 245 square metres in size.

The hotel has four restaurants and three bars offering international fare, Chinese cuisine, Italian flavours and Spanish/South American cuisine.

An Executive Lounge offers special privileges and amenities for frequent business travellers.

To take a break from the rush of the city, guests can make use of a full scale fitness centre and spa facilities.

Kempinski currently operates 18 hotels in China, with an additional property in Taiyuan scheduled to open later this year.
