Hotel giant Marriott International has opened its latest spa hotel in China’s financial and commercial capital, Shanghai.
W Shanghai, The Bund is located in the heart of the city, overlooking the Huangpu River, and features 374 bedrooms and an Away-branded luxury spa.
Owned by Sinar Mas Group, the property will be operated under Marriott’s W Hotels Worldwide arm.
Designed by UK-based G.A Design, the hotel has been created as a “combination of historic and modern influences” – such as Hai Pai, the avant-garde "East Meets West" culture unique to Shanghai.
The hotel’s signature Away Spa will feature a number of treatment rooms, an indoor swimming pool and access to a 24-hour gym.
A spokesperson for W Hotels said: “The Away Spa offers massages, body treatments, facials and quick fixes, all set to leave guests glowing.
“Guests can also step into the ultra-modern FIT gym that offers 24/7 access to the newest Technogym equipment, or take part in a yoga or tai chi class on the hotel’s wooden deck.”
According to Stephen Ho, CEO of Marriott’s Chinese operations, the opening is part of the company’s ambitious plans for the region.
“Over the past few years we have seen incredible growth worldwide across our brands, with the China market becoming increasingly important for Marriott International,” Ho said.
The opening of the W Shanghai – The Bund underscores the ambitious expansion of Marriott International’s Luxury Brands in Greater China.”
