Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts has announced the development for a new city resort, the 230-room Shangri-La Hotel, Diqing in Shangri-La county, Yunnan province. The property is targeting to open in early 2013.

The low-rise urban resort will offer 230 guestrooms with an average of 40 square metres in size. Public areas feature an all day dining venue, Chinese and speciality restaurants, a Grand Ballroom and meeting facilities as well as a VIP room. Recreational facilities include a health club, spa with beauty salon and an indoor lap pool.

Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, on the southward expansion of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an average altitude of 3,380 metres in the heart of the Hengduan Mountains.

“Together with the opening of Shangri-La Hotels in Chongqing and Lhasa at the end of 2011 and 2012 respectively and the existing property in Chengdu, we are extending our portfolio into the western regions of mainland China,” said Greg Dogan, Shangri-La’s president and chief executive officer. “Diqing is famous for its natural scenery and we are especially pleased to enter Shangri-La county with its beautiful name and mythical background for which our company was named.”

Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts currently owns and/or manages 68 hotels under the Shangri-La and Traders brands, with a rooms inventory of over 30,000. The group has over 40 projects under development in Austria, Canada, mainland China, France, India, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Mongolia, Russia, Qatar, Seychelles, Turkey and United Kingdom.
