About Shangri-La Nanjing
- Jiangnan Wok · Yun holds one Michelin star for Huaiyang cuisine, making it one of very few Michelin-starred hotel restaurants in a mainland Chinese city outside Beijing or Shanghai.
- A sibling outlet, Jiangnan Wok (without the Yun designation), separately holds two Black Pearl diamonds, China's domestic fine-dining certification, giving the hotel two rated restaurants under one roof.
- FM Architettura's refurbishment threaded Nanjing's layered history into the interiors: the city served successively as a Ming Dynasty capital, a Taiping Heavenly Kingdom seat, and the Republic of China's capital before 1949.
- Entry-level rooms start at 517 sq ft (48 m²).
History
Opened in 2014 as Shangri-La's luxury offering in Nanjing's Gulou District, a 50-story tower blending contemporary design with local Nanjing cultural motifs. The property overlooks Xuanwu Lake and emphasizes heartfelt hospitality in the context of the city's rich historical trading and imperial heritage. Interiors were later refurbished by FM Architettura, reinterpreting the city's history through layered textures and motifs.
The setting
Shangri-La Nanjing anchors the Gulou District skyline at No. 329 Zhongyang Road, a prestigious address on one of the city's principal north-south boulevards that has historically served as Nanjing's administrative and cultural spine. The 50-storey tower sits within easy reach of Xinmofan Road Metro Station on Line 1, offering direct access to the historic Xinjiekou shopping district and Nanjing Railway Station roughly five minutes by car. The hotel overlooks Xuanwu Lake to the east and is positioned near Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Mausoleum on Purple Mountain, combining the tranquility of Nanjing's lakeside heritage with the connectivity of a premier metropolitan address.
