The Sukhothai Shanghai comprises 170 guest rooms and 31 residence-style suites ranging in size from 44 to 172 sqm.

The Sukhothai Shanghai features five dining venues, a ballroom with six multi-purpose function rooms and The Pantry - a communal space for delegates to relax and socialise during refreshment breaks.

Health and wellness facilities include a 198-square-metre Fitness Studio and a separate studio for yoga, pilates and group exercise. Guests can also take advantage of the 25-metre heated indoor pool, sauna and steam room. The spa offers a range of Southeast Asian therapies and signature wellness programmes.

“Having established The Sukhothai Bangkok as one of Asia’s most iconic properties with a loyal global following of discerning travellers, we are excited to present the brand’s first property in Mainland China,” said Marcel N.A. Holman, General Manager of The Sukhothai Shanghai. “The Sukhothai Shanghai’s unique character was inspired by the dynamics of this city, and authentically reflected in the design, lifestyle facilities and amenities.
