In late October, Shangri-La Group, a world-renowned hotel and property developer, owner, and manager, opened a dual-branded development in Hongqiao, Shanghai. Shangri-La Hongqiao Airport and Traders Hongqiao Airport mark the Group’s fifth hotel project in the city. This opening reinforces Shanghai’s role as a hub for international exchange. Through a dual-brand approach, the project caters to the diverse needs of varied customer segments.

“We are honored to mark the upcoming 8th China International Import Expo with the opening of our dual-branded hotel in Hongqiao. Through heartfelt Asian hospitality, we aim to create the ‘Finest Service Window’ that reflects Shangri-La Group’s long-term commitment to Shanghai’s economic development and to advancing the national strategy of Yangtze River Delta integration,” said Chris Tung, Group Chief Marketing Officer and China Chief Executive Officer at Shangri-La Group.

The dual-branded development presents guests with two experiences in a single location: the luxury of Shangri-La and the modern, technology-driven accommodations of Traders. Conveniently connected to Terminal 2 of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the high-speed rail station, and the city's metro network, the hotel ensures effortless travel to downtown Shanghai and major cities throughout the Yangtze River Delta, such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing — all accessible within an hour.
