About Shangri-La Shenzhen
- In 1992, when the hotel opened, Shenzhen had existed as a city for barely 12 years; the Luohu district around the hotel contained China's first stock exchange (est. 1990), first futures exchange, and first locally incorporated commercial bank — compressed into a few city blocks.
- Lo Wu border crossing, adjacent to the hotel, processes roughly 30–40 million crossings per year, ranking it among the world's highest-volume land border points.
- The hotel's revolving 360° Bar is one of Shenzhen's oldest operating sky bars, having rotated above a skyline that grew from near-zero to over 80 skyscrapers above 200 metres during the hotel's own operational lifetime.
- Entry-level rooms start at 323 sq ft (30 m²).
History
Opened in 1992 as one of Shenzhen's pioneering luxury hotels amid the city's emergence as China's Special Economic Zone bordering Hong Kong. Renovated in 2014 to modern standards. Serves as a key gateway for cross-border travelers between mainland China and Hong Kong.
The setting
Shangri-La Shenzhen stands at 1028 Heping Road in Luohu's central district — the birthplace of Shenzhen's Special Economic Zone, founded in 1979 and home to China's first stock exchange, first futures market, and first local commercial bank. The hotel, which opened in 1992, is steps from Shenzhen Railway Station and the Luohu Port border crossing, a five-minute walk to the Lo Wu crossing into Hong Kong. The adjacent Luohu Commercial City is one of Shenzhen's celebrated retail destinations, while Metro Lines 1 and 9 connect rapidly to Futian and Nanshan. The hotel's 360° Bar delivers skyline views over Shenzhen's transformed urban grid and the mountains of Hong Kong, marking Luohu's enduring role as the city's historic gateway.
