SHANGRI-LA
Two big wins for Shangri-La prove the brand continues to impress business travellers throughout the region. Steven Taylor, Shangri-La’s chief marketing officer, said: “We have a long history in Asia and in many ways have set the benchmark for what luxury represents across the region today. As an owner and operator of a large majority of our hotels, we have been able to establish a greater level of consistency throughout our properties that appeals to the needs of business travellers. Additionally, the Golden Circle loyalty programme delivers meaningful recognition and industry-leading rewards to business travellers across the region.” Three new properties are due to open in the greater China region over the coming months, including Songbei Shangri-La, Harbin (December, 2016), Hotel Jen Beijing (January, 2017) and Kerry Hotel, Hong Kong (Q1, 2017).

Another highlight for IHG was the Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort being highlighted as Best Resort Hotel in Asia-Pacific. General manager Juan Losada said: “Intercontinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort is one of the most recognised names in Vietnam. Since our opening in 2012, the property has continued to capture the hearts of both domestic and international guests across the globe. To us, hospitality is not simply service but is truly an art. It’s all the little things that make a big difference in the end. And this is why I believe we have become the favourite holiday destination for Business Traveller Asia-Pacific readers.”
