St. Regis set to open atop Shenzhen’s tallest building late 2011; Raising the bar for service and sophistication in China’s most modern city
The St. Regis brand will soon arrive in Shenzhen with the opening of The St. Regis Shenzhen, set to open in late 2011 atop the new Kingkey 100-story building; the tallest building in Shenzhen and the eighth tallest in the world. Like the landmark building in which it resides, The St. Regis Shenzhen will introduce Shenzhen and the region to a new level of uncompromising service and modern sophistication, appealing to the most discerning travelers and local tastemakers.
“We are looking forward to introducing the St. Regis brand to Shenzhen and southern China,” said Stephen Ford, General Manager of The St. Regis Shenzhen. “The St. Regis Shenzhen is the ultimate urban address that will offer a new benchmark of flawless service, classic sophistication and modern luxury that has yet to be seen in Shenzhen.”
Designed by famed architect Sir Terry Farrell, The St. Regis Shenzhen occupies the top 28 floors of the Kingkey 100 building, a stunning steel and glass tower that is transforming the city’s modern skyline. The tower is located within easy walking distance of Shenzhen’s key financial and retail centers, including the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the high end KK Mall and the Da Ju Yuan Metro Station, which offers quick access to the rest of the city. Its prestigious address, iconic setting, bespoke services, and one-of-a-kind amenities will elevate The St. Regis Shenzhen to be the new social and business center for Shenzhen.
