Shangri-La Hotels has continued to expand its portfolio of properties in China, with the opening of the Shangri-La Hotel, Manzhouli.

The city in northeast China shares a 54-kilometre border with Russia and is China’s busiest land port entry.

Shangri-La Hotel, Manzhouli is the group’s third hotel in Inner Mongolia following its sister properties in Huhhot and Baotou.

Shangri-La Hotel, Manzhouli is a short stroll from the main shopping and entertainment district, 20 minutes from the airport and within a five-minute drive of the railway station.

Designed by Eva Wan Studio, the 235-room hotel including 24 suites takes on a contemporary designed scheme, accented by Chinese and Mongolian soft furnishings.

“We are delighted to bring to Manzhouli the Shangri-La brand,” said Greg Dogan, president and chief executive officer of Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd.

“Manzhouli is one of China’s most important trading ports and a growing tourist destination.

“Our new hotel will cater to the increasing demand for international luxury hotels in this city and will further strengthen Shangri-La’s presence in mainland China, which remains the key focus of the group’s expansion plan in Asia.”
