March 17, 2009
The opening of this hotel further demonstrates the exceptional brand growth of The Ritz-Carlton in China, with five new luxury hotels having opened in the space of slightly more than two years.
The Ritz-Carlton, a premier provider of luxury lifestyle experiences, has now expanded its footprint in mainland China to include Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Sanya, offering not just city hotels, but also a resorts and Residences. The latest addition to the company's growing portfolio of luxury hotels, The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen, will redefine the luxury lifestyle experience in the south China city.
"We are proud to partner with Shenzhen Galaxy Industrial Company in the development of this wonderful new hotel. The location offers significant advantages with its presence in the Futian Central Business District directly across from the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Centre in this fast developing business destination." said Simon F. Cooper, president and chief operating officer.
Contemporary in design, The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen comprises 273 luxurious guestrooms, including 43 suites that offer magnificent views of the city - nine of which feature signature balconies. The 446-square meter (4,801 square feet) Ritz-Carlton Suite features a magnificent two-storey grand entrance with floor-to-ceiling, offering a 270-degree panoramic view of the city, a steam room, Jacuzzi, study, library and games room.
Guests of The Ritz-Carlton Club® Level, the signature section of the hotel accessible only by key card access, will enjoy 24-hour refreshments in the hotel's Club Lounge; the services of dedicated, multi-lingual concierge staff and a spectacular view of Futian central business district.
All guest rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including wireless and wired internet access, iPod docking stations, flat screen televisions and DVD players as standard to enable guests to both work and relax in their rooms. Most of the guest rooms will also offer luxurious free-standing bath tubs.
Four specialty restaurants, a lounge, a bar and a delicatessen will offer a multitude of dining options from traditional Chinese to classic Italian cuisine. Flavorz, the hotel's all-day dining restaurant will offer international favorites from five live cooking stations, while Xingli, a contemporary Chinese Restaurant, authentic Chiu Chow, Cantonese and Szechuan specialties will be served.
For those who have a taste for Italian, Paletto is a fine dining choice with a private room for special occasions. Surrounded by a beautiful array of greenery, the roof top poolside restaurant, Leaves, is an excellent place to savour a drink and enjoy South-East Asian favorites. Curv Bar is a comfortable setting for drinks, snacks, nightcaps and live entertainment, while Onyx Lounge will be the center of the hotel's dramatic atrium space, with a focal curved wall that connects all levels of the hotel and is a combination of wood and back-lit golden-hued onyx. This versatile space is just as suitable for afternoon tea as it is for impromptu business meetings, where guests may take advantage of the wireless technology.
As a key destination for business in the city due to its facilities and close proximity to the Convention Centre, the Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen will offer a variety of fully-featured meetings and function space.
