Brand new Shangri-La Hotel

The hot new opening next month is the Shangri- La Hotel. Opening the 6th May, this hugely anticipated space is the last to open within The Shard and is set between the 34th and 52nd levels. This hotel will ooze sophistication, as the tallest hotel in Western Europe and the first high-rise hotel in London and level 34 is dedicated to events.
There are three river-facing event spaces which will offer a London venue experience like no other. With amazing views 125 meters above the city the largest of the spaces, Ren, will accommodate up to 140 guests and the other two, Yi and Li, will be able to hold up to 10 and 35 guests. The whole of the 34th floor can take up to 200 guests for larger parties and the grand staircase that leads down to the event floor creates a backdrop sure enough to wow guests on their arrival.
The hotel will feature three wining and dining venues. GŎNG, London’s highest bar on level 52, takes its name from ‘dougong’ – an ancient Chinese structural element of interlocking wooden brackets that will be a component of the bar’s interior. TĪNG, derived from the Chinese word for a living room, is the signature restaurant and lounge on level 35 and LÁNG – the Chinese word for ‘pathway’ – is an artisan deli on the ground floor.
