About Shangri-La Qiantan, Shanghai
- Shangri-La Qiantan is the first luxury hotel in the Qiantan International Business District, a district that did not exist when the 2010 World Expo, held 1.5 kilometres north, was being planned.
- The 'Golden Boot' nickname for the Qiantan bend of the Huangpu River comes from the shape of the peninsula when viewed from above on a map, a distinctive urban-geography detail that Shangri-La uses as an official property descriptor.
- Jiangnan Wok earned a Gold Phoenix Tree China Restaurant Guide one-star in 2023 and a Ctrip Gourmet List Gold Medal the same year, the hotel's strongest culinary credential since opening in late 2021.
- The 585-room KPF-designed tower sits directly adjacent to Taikoo Li Qiantan, Swire Properties' wellness-themed retail development with over 250 shops and restaurants on the New Bund riverfront.
- Entry-level rooms start at 377 sq ft (35 m²).
History
Shangri-La Qiantan Shanghai opened in late 2021 as the brand's fourth property in the city, located within the Qiantan Center complex in the emerging New Bund International Business District. It integrates local Shanghainese culture and natural elements into its modern design, serving as the first luxury hotel in the Qiantan area south of the Expo 2010 site. The property emphasizes heartfelt hospitality in a contemporary tower built around 2022.[Shangri-La official site](https://www.shangri-la.com/shanghai/qiantanshangrila/about/), [Retail & Leisure International](https://www.rli.uk.com/shangri-la-qiantan-opens/), [IndesignLive](https://www.indesignlive.com/projects/takenouchi-webb-qiantan)
