Marriott International has opened the highly-anticipated JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Fengxian, marking the historic 50^th Marriott International hotel to open in Shanghai.

Located on Hangzhou Bay in the city’s Fengxian seaside district, just an hour’s drive south of metropolitan Shanghai, the new hotel promises to be a sophisticated and luxurious sanctuary designed to let guests relax and rediscover a sense of balance in mind and body, as well as a convenient gateway to Shanghai and nearby cities such as Hangzhou and Suzhou.

Designed by international design company PLD, the hotel’s style narrative is inspired by its natural surroundings, with its exterior imagined as the legendary bird Roc, from the fable Roc Hopping Into the Sea. The design elements also incorporate natural materials such as wood and marble in undulating, curvilinear forms that reflect the waves of the nearby East Sea.

The hotel’s 265 guestrooms and suites offer luxurious comfort in restful shades of sable and blue, echoing the beaches and sea with clean modern lines and every thoughtful amenity for guests’ comfort and convenience.

Dining options at the new JW Marriott include three distinctive restaurants and a bar, with menus featuring freshly harvested produce from the hotel’s own on-site garden, JW Garden. All-day dining outlet JW Kitchen offers a tempting menu of local and international dishes at live cooking stations, including a charcoal grilling station with the freshest meats and seafood. Fine dining restaurant Yan Xuan, with 15 elegant dining rooms for private events, serves Cantonese and Shanghainese delicacies paired with fragrant Chinese teas, while signature restaurant Shanghai Crab & Co.has a menu featuring its signature boiled king crab and seafood towers. Throughout the day, guests can linger at the welcoming Lobby Lounge.

For flexible meetings and special gatherings, the hotel features fully-equipped conference facilities including a 1,800-square-meter, naturally-lit meeting area. A 900-square-meter grand banquet hall, a smaller 600-square-meter hall and four multifunction rooms offer the space and flexibility to host talk-of-the-town events, with intuitive service that is the hallmark of The JW Treatment. A spacious executive lounge makes an ideal spot to catch up with work while contemplating the surrounding natural scenery.

Inspired by the principles of mindfulness, JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Fengxian is also a place of tranquillity, with abundant offerings to pamper business travellers and corporate road warriors. Spa by JW offers spa treatments for guests to calm the mind and invigorate the body whilst a 24-hour fitness centre and 25-meter heated infinity swimming pool lets guests choose their preferred workout hours.

“We are delighted to celebrate the opening of the 50^th property in Shanghai, a testament to the phenomenal growth of Marriott International in this region,” says Henry Lee, President, Greater China, Marriott International. “Across Greater China, there are now over 400 Marriott hotels spanning 23 brands in more than 90 cities, indicating our confidence in the strong growth of the travel market in China.
