Shanghai's Zendai Hotel Yin Joins Leading Hotels of the World
Zendai Hotel Yin is atop a new architectural masterpiece named the Himalayas Center, opening in Pudong in time for the Shanghai World Expo.

With 75 exquisite rooms, it is styled as an exclusive 'urban retreat' with contemporary, Chinese-inspired design, a Traditional Chinese Medicine Wellness Center and 24-hour butler service.

Chinese art and culture is central to the design and ambience. Highlights include a Chinese Tea House and a contemporary Chinese restaurant that will serve modern, healthy cuisine created from the freshest, seasonal Chinese ingredients.

Guests will also be able to immerse themselves in a "Chinese intellectual retreat", experiencing a range of traditional Chinese arts such as poetry, calligraphy, painting, folk music, tea ceremony and floral arrangement.

Designed by world renowned architect Arata Isozaki, the 'Himalayas Center' is hailed by developers, The Zendai Group, as an 'archisculptural icon for 21st Century China'.

Zendai Hotel Yin is incorporated into the same development as Zendai Art Hotel, a luxury business hotel.

Both set a new benchmark in hospitality, fusing Chinese art and culture with the supreme comfort, luxury and high tech convenience expected of today's hotels, according to Stella Huang, Director of Zendai Hotel Yin.

Room sizes begin at a very generous 60 m2 and guests may enjoy the facilities of a Club Lounge, a Library with meeting rooms and teleconferencing facilities.

Also in the complex is Himalayas Art Museum, DaGuan Theatre with multi-functional auditorium seating 1,650 and shopping mall.

Zendai Hotel Yin is close to the city's main financial district in Pudong, adjacent to the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, and just minutes from the city's high speed Maglev for fast transfers to and from Pudong International Airport (and eventually Hongqiao International Airport).

Admittance to the The Leading Small Hotels of the World is a "prestigious achievement for the entire hotel team", said Ms. Huang.

For over 80 years, The Leading Hotels of the World has been promoting hotels and resorts of only the highest quality.

Their exclusive list of over 450 hotels is painstakingly inspected every year to ensure they maintain utmost standards. Members include such celebrated hotels as The Ritz London and Trump International Hotel and Tower, New York.
