The Sukhothai Shanghai slated to open in April 2018

Shanghai, China – The Sukhothai Shanghai, a contemporary lifestyle hotel conveniently located at HKRI Taikoo Hui in the vibrant Jingan district, is scheduled to open in April, 2018.  An inspired work of design by the internationally-acclaimed Neri&Hu Design and Research Office, the 201-room luxury hotel marks the first foray into Mainland China’s hospitality scene by the prestigious Sukhothai Hotels & Resorts.

A member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, the hotel comprises 170 tastefully designed guest rooms and 31 well-appointed suites, featuring natural materials including the environmentally-friendly diatom-silica clay wall, which is highly effective in air purification, humidity regulation and sound absorption to create a healthy and pure peaceful environment. Ranging from 44 to 172 square-metres, the guest rooms are among the largest in the city. Designed for comfort and convenience, each guest room and suite comprises a spacious bathroom with organic amenities from Australia, 55” or 65” high-definition television with Sonos sound bar and on-demand access to an array of media and infotainment content through IPTV and satellite TV, along with thoughtful extras such as advanced in-room control technology with intuitive interface, wireless high-speed internet connection, and in-room refreshment and wine bar.

Vibrant and eclectic, The Sukhothai Shanghai’s five inspiring dining venues are poised to become the city’s dining destinations. Alongside the Michelin-starred master chef Theodor Falser, chef de cuisine Stefano Sanna takes the helm of the urban Italian restaurant La Scala, serving fresh-to-order contemporary Italian cuisine with seasonal ingredients, paired with a fine selection of Italian boutique wines. All-day-dining restaurant URBAN Cafe indulges guests with authentic Southeast Asian, Western and Oriental cuisines under the leadership of executive chef Marcus Ng, while URBAN Lounge offers a sophisticated collection of premium gins and tonics, a herb trolley with over 15 infused fresh herbs to be served with premium teas, all complemented by live jazz in the evening.  A bistro by day and a lively bar by night, The ZUK Bar is the best location to enjoy simple modern Nordic cuisine and artisanal cocktails by our resident mixologist Vincenzo Pagliara. Modern café Beans & Grapes serves a healthy selection of quality light fare and beverages during the day, and Asian-inspired tapas paired with wine by the glass from sundown.

The second floor is home to the Grand Shanghai Ballroom, along with six multi-purpose function rooms, spanning a spacious 450 square-metres. Crafted for exquisite social and corporate events, conferences and exhibitions, the meeting facilities are equipped with high-definition widescreen displays, full-range quality acoustics and lighting effects, all efficiently operated from an intelligent iPad master control.
