[Hong Kong & Singapore - 11th June 2024] Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong marks the pinnacle of a multi-year transformation with the launch of The Shangri-La Suite - reinventing the art of glamorous living with a striking super suite designed as the ultimate space for sophisticated, design-conscious global travellers.
Although spacious, the 222-square-metretwo-bedroom The Shangri-La Suite feels inviting and warm, redolent of a stylish private residence and offering a blend of layered colours, textures and patterns combined with crafted pieces and fine art.
The attention to detail is remarkable, from the thoughtful, flexible layout that can be reconfigured for special events to the décor, a collage of vintage and modern, and influences from around the world - from hand tufted rugs, woven wall coverings and opulent hand-blown crystal chandeliers to art selected from Shangri-La’s extensive collection.
The Shangri-La Suite is also primed with special lighting points, ceiling-mounted audio-visual speakers, perimeter hanging rails, and furniture that can be reconfigured for different events, from a traditional wedding or tea ceremony to a private trunk show, offering total flexibility.
Clifford Weiner, General Manager of Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong states: “We are incredibly proud to launch The Shangri-La Suite as the next step-in our multi-year transformation of Island Shangri-La, Hong Kong. This is a bold maximalist space that is distinctly contemporary.; its interiors are infused with worldly panache as well as Shangri-La’s renowned Asian hospitality- creating the perfect setting for a memorable stay, event or a celebration in the heart of Hong Kong.”
