Grand Hyatt Shenzhen opens

Located in Luohu District – Shenzhen’s financial and trading centre – the hotel is housed in a distinctive 38-storey crested building, where the top seven glass-encased floors create an illuminated ‘lantern’ at nightfall, offering views of Shenzhen, the CRC Building, the iconic 384-metre-high Diwang Building, one of the tallest buildings in China, and the green mountains of northern Hong Kong.

With mezzanine floors creating multi-storey open shafts, the lantern is a dynamic entertainment hub at the building’s summit, housing the contemporary art-filled Sky Lobby, the only sky lobby in Shenzhen, as well as several innovative dining destinations.

The hotel’s event space spans 2,769 square metres (29,805 sq ft) over three floors and offers a variety of venue options, and can cater from eight to 1,410 guests. The 1,000 square metre (10,764 sq ft) pillar-less Grand Ballroom on the 2nd floor features a colossal nine-metre high ceiling, and can be divided into three soundproof sections, each with its own sound and lighting control rooms.

For organisers of more intimate, exclusive events, The Mansion on the ground floor and 1st floor is a unique, split-level venue covering 1,000 square metres (10,764 sq ft) that has been designed to resemble a stately home. Events can also be held in any of the six private rooms or in the loft kitchen, which all benefit from natural light.

The third floor features a Fitness Centre and Shui Xiang, a Hyatt Pure spa,  occupying 3,132 square metre (33,713 sq ft) spa and created in traditional open-air hutong (Chinese courtyard residences separated by narrow alleyways) style, with 13 individual spa ‘houses’ circling a central water feature. The majority of the houses feature private outdoor terraces

Accommodation includes 491 contemporary guestrooms (including 53 suites and 48 long-stay serviced apartments), decorated in plush, rich-toned fabrics and carpeting.

The highlight of the guestrooms is the spacious, spa-style marble bathroom, housing an over-sized rain-shower and separate bathtub. When privacy is desired, the bathroom’s glass sliding doors frost over, automatically, when closed. Bedrooms are equipped with automatic time-controlled curtains, a self-contained workstation with wireless, high-speed Internet access, a multi-channel 40-inch LED television and DVD player, an iPod docking station, and dual phone-lines with voicemail.
