The 344-room Songbei Shangri-La has just opened in the fabled city of ice – Harbin,
marking Shangri-La’s second debut in this north eastern city 18 years after the
group opened Shangri-La Hotel, Harbin in 1999. The gleaming new
property anchors Shangri-La in the heart of Songbei’s business district in
a historic city that witnessed the dawn of the Jin (1115-1234) and Qing
(1644-1911) dynasties, as well as cultural influences from neighbouring Russia.
Located on the edge of Songhua River’s north bank
and a convenient five-minute
drive from the city’s internationally renowned ice festival at Ice &
Snow World, Songbei Shangri-La, Harbin is in a neighbourhood that includes
local attractions like Sun Island Garden, Siberian Tiger Park and Harbin
Great Theatre. Just 40 minutes and 30 minutes away are the international
airport and Harbin West Railway Station.
“We are proud to be part of Harbin’s
development as a global destination and have welcomed travellers with
Shangri-La’s heart-warming hospitality for nearly two decades,” said Tyson Wang, Songbei Shangri-La, Harbin’s General
Manager. “With a second property, we look forward to unveiling new
lifestyle experiences and inviting the community and international visitors to
enjoy our blend of tradition and modernity in Harbin.”
To celebrate the hotel’s opening, an introductory offer from RMB
1,350 per night until 20 February 2017 and includes daily
breakfast buffet. The supplementary breakfast charge for a second guest
sharing the same room is RMB 50 and double GC Award Points for Shangri-La’s
Golden Circle members. For reservations, call (86 451) 5862 9999 or

charge and six per cent government value-added tax.
