Raffles Hotels & Resorts is set to open a new hotel in Shenzhen, China. Debuting in 2018, Raffles Shenzhen will occupy the top floors of an 80-story tower in the new One Shenzhen Bay development.
One Shenzhen Bay will combine office space, luxury residences, high-end commercial space, and the 1,100-foot-tall signature tower that will house the Raffles Shenzhen. Designed by New York-based KPF Associates, the hotel will feature 200 guestrooms and serviced residences, four restaurants and bars, and private meeting and event spaces for business meetings and social gatherings, as well as a Raffles Spa.
“Shenzhen has been at the forefront of China’s phenomenal growth, and innovative developments such as One Shenzhen Bay will ensure that the city continues to play a leading role in international trade, shipping, tourism and finance,” says Peter French, president, Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “With Raffles properties in the key Chinese destinations of Beijing, Hainan, and soon Shenzhen, I am very excited about our luxury hotel brand’s growing presence in China and see additional opportunities for future growth in the country.”
This signing of the Raffles Shenzhen hotel management agreement follows the opening of Raffles Hainan on September 1st. Raffles Shenzhen will be Raffles Hotels & Resorts’ third hotel in China.
