Accor has expanded its portfolio of luxury hotels with the opening of the Raffles Shenzhen.

The Raffles Shenzhen is located at One Shenzhen Bay, with direct connections to the adjacent Qianhai Economic Zone in the rapidly developing Nanshan District.

In addition to the 168-room hotel, the 72-floor building features the world’s highest music hall on the 71st floor, some Raffles Residences, a helipad, office space, a car showroom, international clubs, and more.

The Raffles Shenzhen hotel is home to six F&B outlets, 3,000 sqm of event space that includes a column-free grand ballroom and eight multifunction halls, a spa, fitness center, indoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi, vitality pool and a sauna.

Gary Rosen, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer, Accor Greater China, said, “Shenzhen is a key component to the government’s plans for the Greater Bay Area, it is linked to the economic, innovation and infrastructure development of Hong Kong, Macau and Guangzhou ... Raffles Shenzhen is destined to become the favoured spot for local residents, business and lifestyle travellers, particularly globally minded Chinese travellers who want to experience the very best sense of the locale.”

Manhattan-based architect Kohn Pederson Fox Associates (KPF) was responsible for the architecture of Raffles Shenzhen, while Dubai’s LW Design was in charge of the hotel’s interior design.
