The 178-room hotel is housed within the upper floors of a 79-storey tower in the city’s Futian business district, with rooms enjoying views of the city, Lotus Hill Park, Bijia Mountain Park and Shenzhen Bay.
Facilities include a 30-metre indoor swimming pool, a 78th floor Mandarin Club, a spa, fitness centre and eight restaurants and bars including a fine-dining Cantonese restaurant Michelin-starred Chef Fei, as well as Spanish, European, Japanese and Pan-Asian venues.
There will also be a rooftop bar, a cake shop serving afternoon tea, a 77th floor banquet space, and The Cube, offering 1,500 sqm of events space.
Mandarin Oriental currently operates 35 hotels and seven residences in 24 countries and territories, including Chinese properties in Beijing, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, Sanya and Shanghai.
The luxury hotel group recently announced plans for a new property in Hangzhou, to be housed within the Westlake 66 mixed-use commercial and luxury retail complex close to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of West Lake.
