About The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen
- When The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen opened in 2009, Shenzhen's Futian CBD was barely a decade old; the hotel was among the very first international luxury brands to commit to the district, predating the 599-metre Ping An Finance Centre by eight years.
- Rocco Design Architects — the Hong Kong firm behind several Shenzhen landmark projects — embedded local iconography into the guest rooms after a recent renovation, with mountains, coastlines, shells, and river ripples rendered in materials and headboard art rather than decorative motifs.
- The Curv Cigar Bar offers jazz nightly — an unusual programming choice for a Ritz-Carlton in a city better known for tech and finance culture, drawing on Shenzhen's increasingly sophisticated nightlife scene.
- Entry-level rooms start at 538 sq ft (50 m²).
History
Opened in 2009 as Ritz-Carlton's fifth property in China, situated in Shenzhen's Futian Central Business District adjacent to the Convention and Exhibition Center. Reflects Shenzhen's transformation from a fishing village to an international metropolis in two decades. Recently renovated guestrooms feature local iconic elements including mountains, coastlines, shells, and ripples.
The setting
The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen commands 116 Fuhua Third Road in Futian's Central Business District, directly opposite the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center — the city's premier congress venue opened in 2004, nine minutes on foot — with the Convention and Exhibition Center metro barely 500 feet away. One of Shenzhen's first international luxury brands in the Futian CBD when it opened in 2007, the hotel sits on the civic axis of the Shenzhen Civic Center and Stock Exchange, while the 599-metre Ping'an International Financial Centre is 14 minutes on foot. Futian high-speed rail station for 14-minute express service to Hong Kong is nearby, and the cluster of flagship luxury hotels confirms this as Shenzhen's most coveted block.
