The former Sofitel JJ Oriental Hotel in Shanghai’s Pudong district has been rebranded under Hilton’s Doubletree offering.
The 850-room hotel has reopened as the Doubletree by Hilton Shanghai-Pudong, under a franchise agreement with Interstate China Hotels and Resorts Company Limited.
The property is set to undergo a “multi-million dollar comprehensive renovation”, to be completed next year.
The hotel is housed over two towers, with facilities including 1,500sqm of meeting space, a fitness centre, spa with male and female sauna and steam rooms, outdoor tennis courts and an indoor swimming pool.
The renovation project will add a new 800-sqm ballroom to the hotel, and all food and beverage, retail and meeting spaces will be “redesigned and revitalized”.
