Third Shangri-La Opens in Fujian

The first phase of Shangri-La Putian, a new property on China’s east coast, is set for its soft launch.

Creating a new oasis by the city’s riverside that offers a distinctively luxurious and modern experience, the new hotel will be an exciting new addition to Putian’s MICE and business travel scene.

Featuring 125 guest rooms, a Chinese restaurant, a banquet hall, and conference facilities, the property represents the Group’s third hotel in Fujian Province, following Fuzhou and Xiamen, and draws aesthetic inspiration from local elements while encapsulating the city’s rich history and culture, all while delivering Shangri-La’s distinctive Asian hospitality on the banks of the Shouxi River.

Shangri-La Putian is located next to Shouxi Park, an urban ecological park that offers leisure, entertainment, sightseeing, sports, and fitness facilities. The hotel is also close to the municipal government offices and just 25 minutes’ drive from the Putian high-speed railway station, while Quanzhou Jinjiang International Airport and Fuzhou Changle International Airport are within 90 minutes’ drive.

Shangri-La Putian’s architecture and interior design pay tribute to local culture and history, right down to the most intricate details. Commonly seen in Fujian architecture, brick red and gray are used in the hotel façade, blending harmoniously with the surrounding landscape. In the lobby, four sets of “eaves” made from hundreds of transparent tiles hang elegantly above a green feature and are illuminated by dazzling lights. This art installation is a modern interpretation of the famous “flying swallowtail ridge”, an ancient architectural feature in the southern Fujian Province.

Guest rooms offer panoramic views of the beautiful scenery of Shouxi Park, the Shouxi River, and the thousand-year-old bridge, as well as the city skyline. The rooms’ decor echoes the overarching design concept, giving each a natural and comfortable ambience.

Situated on the first floor, Shang Garden Chinese restaurant offers local and Cantonese cuisine, as well as other regional flavours. With members of the culinary team coming from different parts of the country, the menu features classic Chinese favourites, as well as local delicacies.

and a 650-square-metre foyer, and complemented by a 320-square-metre multi-functional space, a bridal room, plus an outdoor garden which can be customised for different events.
