Radisson Hotel Group has added the first Chinese property under its Radisson Collection brand.
Formerly known as the Radisson Blu Plaza Xing Guo Hotel, the rebranded Radisson Collection Hotel, Xing Guo Shanghai is the brand’s first hotel in China, and the first in an Asia Pacific gateway city.
The 185-room property is situated with 17 acres of landscaped gardens in Shanghai’s Xujiahui downtown district, and features a top floor Executive Lounge, four restaurants and bars, a fitness centre and eight events spaces.
The 12th floor of the hotel is reserved for female guests, with a dedicated Madam Mi Lounge, and rooms featuring Dyson Supersonic hairdryers.
The rebranded property will be followed by the new-build Radisson Collection Resort, Nanjing, which is set to be unveiled in the second quarter of this year, located in the city’s Jiangning District and featuring an infinity pool and spa with hot spring.
The Radisson Collection was launched in 2018 as a replacement for the Quorvus Collection, as part of wider group restructuring which saw Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group renamed as the Radisson Hotel Group.
The brand recently opened its first property in Africa, with the rebranding of the Sheraton Bamako.
Commenting on the news Gary Ye, vice president, operations, China, said:
“Radisson Collection is the home of distinctive hotels and resorts that are united by their uniqueness, and their ability to bring out the exceptional of their community. This rapidly growing brand is suited to the world’s most storied cities, such as Shanghai, where a sense of history and romance enlivens every stay.
“We look forwarding to immersing guests in the sounds, sights, flavours and experiences of the hotel’s unique location. Radisson Hotel Group has worked with the hotel’s owners, Dong Hu Group, for more than 20 years and we are delighted to continue our journey together.”
