Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) announced today the opening of Grand Hyatt Shenyang, the first Hyatt-branded hotel in Northeast China that will provide a new level of upscale sophistication to business and leisure travelers in Shenyang, the capital of Liaoning Province. The hotel’s style will mirror the city of Shenyang, the largest city in Northeast China, melding ancient culture with vibrant modernity.
“The opening of Grand Hyatt Shenyang expands our brand presence in China and supports our development strategy of building in key gateway cities and markets where our guests are traveling,” said Christopher Koehler, vice president of operations, China, Hyatt Hotels & Resorts. “It is a great honor for us to collaborate again with China Resources to open another property after the success of Grand Hyatt Shenzhen. By combining modernity and residential comfort with our distinctive world-class facilities and services, we believe that our newest addition to the Grand Hyatt portfolio will help redefine the standard for hotels in Shenyang.”
Occupying a newly built 29-story tower, Grand Hyatt Shenyang is strategically located on the prestigious Qingnian Avenue (known as the “Golden Corridor”) which is the main downtown commercial thoroughfare of Shenyang, offering first-class, engaging service to accommodate a growing number of Chinese and international visitors. The hotel provides direct access to the world-class MixC luxury retail mall and is conveniently situated near a majority of both corporate headquarters and premier residential buildings. The hotel also has convenient access to the Shenyang Taoxian International Airport and other transportation junctions.
“We are delighted to bring Hyatt’s world-renowned authentic hospitality and top-class facilities to Northeast China, which is a new part of the country for our brand,” said Stephan Tschuppik, general manager of Grand Hyatt Shenyang. “Grand Hyatt hotels around the world are traditionally known to be quite bold and dramatic, and Grand Hyatt Shenyang is no exception. We hope to exceed guest expectations in every way – from dining, to our sky-high city views, to our meeting capabilities. We look forward to introducing Grand Hyatt to this wonderful and vibrant city.”
DesignGrand Hyatt Shenyang’s public areas and guestrooms were designed by Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), a global leader in the hospitality interior design industry since 1965.

Bold colors and eye-catching public spaces are complemented by modern artwork from local and international artists.
