SHANGRI-LA HOTEL, YIWU OPENS AT THE GATEWAY OF CHINA’S
NEW SILK ROAD
YIWU WORLD TRADE CENTRE
Anticipated to enhance the
vibrant city of Yiwu, the 362-room Shangri-La Hotel, Yiwu opened on 24 June in the 52-storey mixed-use Yiwu
World Trade Centre – the tallest building in Zhejiang Province. The tower
comprises commercial space, apartments and shopping, and is located in the
epicentre of the city’s business district and adjacent to the world-famous Yiwu International
Commodity City.
ROLLS ROYCE READY
Historically known as a trading town, Yiwu has
burgeoned into an economic success attracting merchants from South America,
Europe and the Middle East. The recent establishment of Yiwu as the
starting point for the new Silk Road – a freight train service that retraces
the ancient trading route connecting China with Asia and the rest of Europe –
affirms the city’s prominence since it was founded in the Qin dynasty, more
than two millenniums ago.
HORIZON ROOM
To commemorate Shangri-La Hotel, Yiwu’s opening, an
introductory offer priced from RMB888 is available until 3 September 2017 and
includes daily breakfast buffet, as well as RMB200 credit which can be used
against any hotel service. For reservations or details, call (86 579)
8151 8808 or email reservations.slyw@shangri-la.com. The daily room rate includes the prevailing
Value Added Tax and 10 per cent service charge.
LOBBY LOUNGE
Shangri-La Hotel, Yiwu’s exquisite palette of warm
sienna and walnut colours are a complementing canvas for the intricate Dongyang
wood carved screens in the hotel’s public areas that connect guests to the
culture and history of Zhejiang Province. In the spacious lobby is a
painting by Mr. Zhou Shengfa, one of Yiwu’s most prominent artists. It
depicts the scenic beauty of Zhejiang Province’s waterfalls and mountains –
natural elements that are regarded as auspicious to harmonise the hotel’s
environment.
DELUXE RIVER VIEW ROOM
The tranquil setting continues to the hotel’s rooms –
starting from 48 square metres – and 136 serviced apartments that are located
from levels nine to 38 of the building and offer far-reaching views of the
sprawling Yiwu landscape. Each room is dressed in natural colours and
adorned with the Chinese Rose – the flower of Yiwu – which can be found
engraved on wood, in a painting and embossed on panels to provide an extra dimension
of luxury. Other features include complimentary Wi-Fi, a marble bathroom
with premier toiletries, an executive desk and large picture windows.
HORIZON EXECUTIVE ROOM
The elegant suites provide a minimum of 96 square
metres of living space and look out onto the Yiwu River. Enhanced by a
full range of modern touches such as a Blu-ray player and tea and coffee making
machine, suite guests can also enjoy the services of the hotel’s Horizon Club
Lounge where breakfast, refreshments and cocktails are served daily.
YUE XIU WOK RESTAURANT
Three hotel restaurants add to the city’s dining
destinations. Yue Xiu Wok, the all-day dining restaurant, showcases
extensive buffet presentations at the multiple cooking stations. Its
brick walls and dark wood floors provide a modern perspective to dining, while
cooking paraphernalia line the shelves. Eight private dining rooms
provide separate gathering spaces for business entertainment or family
celebrations.
BROWN SUGAR
During breakfast, lunch and dinner, Brown Sugar Bakery
& Cafe comes to life with made-to-order Asian and Western dishes.
Design elements such as hanging blown glass lamps, an exposed ceiling and black
accents complete the distinctly contemporary guest experience. An outdoor
terrace is available for alfresco dining.
LOBBY LOUNGE
The Lobby Lounge, crowned with an ornate rose
chandeler in homage to the city’s official flower, serves refreshments and
evening cocktails, and is the gathering place for light snacks at any time of
the day.

extensive meeting and conference facilities including a 2,000-square-metre and
