Shangri-La Hotel Chengdu

Shangri-La Hotel Chengdu

Chengdu, the capital of China’s Sichuan province, is perhaps less familiar to foreign visitors than places like Beijing or Shanghai. But in an increasingly global world, first-class business hotels like the Shangri-La are needed everywhere, not least in the high-tech industrial center of southwes...
Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta

Shangri-La Hotel Jakarta

In Asia, the Shangri-La name connotes a certain kind of utterly maximal hotel, a strong measure of traditional opulence, along with a grand scale that can easily seem intimidating, especially to Westerners who have grown accustomed to 40-room boutiques and intimate country inns. Never fear; this ...
Shangri-La Hotel Singapore

Shangri-La Hotel Singapore

Singapore boasts an astonishing density of impressive hotels; among the best in town for three decades has been the Shangri-La. Don’t let that number scare you; though — there’s little that’s identifiably Seventies about this place, as a thorough renovation has turned...
Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo

Shangri-La Hotel Tokyo

Whether the Tokyo hotel market is crowded with high-end lodgings or merely presents a wealth of upscale choices is perhaps a matter of perspective. But whatever the challenges hoteliers face, it’s a great time to be a guest; Tokyo is arguably already the luxury-hotel capital of the world, and new...
Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

Shangri-La Hotel, Bangkok

When it comes to top-flight luxury on a massive scale, the Far East is where it’s at — Europe and the Americas have no shortage of impressive accommodations, and even their own chapters of the big Asian franchises, but in terms of sheer luxury overkill, there’s nothing in the West tha...
Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing

Shangri-La Hotel, Beijing

The palatial megahotels of the Far East are renowned for their state-of-the-art facilities and for their almost absurdly high standard of service — the best hotels in Bangkok, Singapore and Hong Kong provide an experience so over-the-top as to make the finest Western hotels look like roadside mot...
Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou

Shangri-La Hotel, Suzhou

Suzhou may be best known for its thousand-year heritage, and the innumerable gardens, temples and bridges. But that’s the postcard Suzhou — the Shangri-La Hotel is aimed at a different audience entirely, an audience of savvy international business travelers, in town not for the picturesque garden...
Shangri-La New Delhi

Shangri-La New Delhi

In New Delhi they already know a thing or two about business-oriented luxury hotels. But there’s room for a perspective from abroad as well, in the form of the Hong Kong–based Shangri-La group. This 320-room high-rise in Delhi’s government district is as comfortable, as opulent, as any of the col...
Shangri-La's Boracay Resort And Spa

Shangri-La's Boracay Resort And Spa

They’re internationally known for their big-city resorts, but Shangri-La can do remote island escapes with the best of them. Shangri-La’s Boracay Resort & Spa is proof of that — nestled into a lush green hillside, overlooking a pristine beach, surrounded by an a nature reserve on an island tw...
Shiv Niwas Palace

Shiv Niwas Palace

An old-world Indian classic, Shiv Niwas stands within the walls of Udaipur’s City Palace — once a guest house for royal visitors, today it’s a different sort of guest house, a small hotel (thirty-six rooms and suites) that’s nonetheless very big on luxury. Here it&#82...
Sofitel Metropole Hanoi

Sofitel Metropole Hanoi

The Sofitel Metropole Hanoi is currently undergoing construction work between 8:00 and 19:00 but will remain open to guests. This is simply the place to stay in Hanoi. The hotel itself dates back to 1901, to the French colonial days, and it shows in every detail....
Sofitel On Renmin Square

Sofitel On Renmin Square

With every decade that goes by China opens itself further to the West. By now Hong Kong feels like it’s right next door, and Beijing and Shanghai are quickly losing their air of exoticism. Even Xi’an, the eastern end of the Silk Road, is finding itself more and more accessible to foreign traveler...
Taj Krishna

Taj Krishna

Those of us with an aversion to big hotels might be put off by the hulking silhouette of the Taj Krishna. But in India’s big cities, Hyderabad included, it’s probably wise to adjust your sense of scale a bit. Sure, the Taj is not exactly small, certainly not a boutique, and the only thing exclusi...
Taj Lake Palace

Taj Lake Palace

The Taj Lake Palace floats on the calm surface of Lake Pichola and was built in 1740 as a summer retreat, taking advantage of the cooling lake breezes. The Taj group took over in the Sixties, and the hotel has since become standard postcard (and Bond film) material.The standard rooms face ...
Taj West End

Taj West End

Luxury hotels in India tend to fall into one of two camps: the lavish Western-style resorts, with the sobering divide between corporate travelers and locals; and the new high-design boutiques, cool and intimate but strangely ahistorical. The Taj West End transcends both categories. Opened as a te...
The B Akasaka

The B Akasaka

If money is no object, then Tokyo is a hotel guest’s paradise — the top five luxury hotels here are easily in the world’s top ten. But it’s when you’re on a more limited budget that the limitations of the Tokyo hotel market begin to show. If you’re after something between a grim little tourist tr...
