SHANGRI-LA HOTELS AND RESORTS

Hong Kong based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is Asia Pacific’s leading luxury hotel group and is regarded as one of the world's finest hotel ownership and management companies.

Inspired by the legendary land featured in James Hilton’s novel Lost Horizon published in 1933, the name Shangri-La encapsulates the serenity and service for which Shangri-La is renowned worldwide. The group has three brands: Shangri-La, Kerry and Traders hotels. Shangri-La properties are primarily five-star deluxe city centre and resort hotels with the majority of the city centre hotels having over 500 guest-rooms, whereas the resort properties tend to be slightly smaller. The Kerry brand appeals to the business traveller who prefers a vibrant and relaxed environment without compromising on service or quality. The hotels are contemporary in style and provide a seamless link between business, entertainment and recreation. Introduced in 1989, Traders is a mid-market

brand of mid-priced city centre hotels consisting of 14 hotels in Abu Dhabi, Beijing, Brisbane, Changzhou, Dubai, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Male, Manila, Penang, Shenyang, Singapore and Yangon. Training is Shangri-La's top priority and significant resources are allocated annually to ensure that employees have the skills and knowledge to be the best in their fields. This has earned the group international awards and recognition from guests, prestigious magazines as well as industry partners and has made Shangri-La one of the preferred hotel employers, with over 40,800 people serving guests with the philosophy of “Shangri-La Hospitality from a Caring Family.” Today, Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts owns and/or manages 78 hotels worldwide. The hotels are located in Australia, Canada, mainland China, Fiji, France, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Maldives, the Philippines, Singapore, the Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan, Thailand and the United Arab Emirates.
