The Group has revealed the opening of Shangri-La Hongqiao Airport and Traders Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai – a dual-branded development located at the heart of the city’s Hongqiao transportation hub.
As the Group’s fifth hotel project in Shanghai, this opening reflects its continued expansion in the city through a dual-brand approach, while reinforcing Shanghai’s role as a hub for international exchange. It also marks the global debut of the Group’s refreshed Traders brand – a future-forward concept that combines technology with thoughtful service for today’s business travellers.
“We are honoured to mark the upcoming eighth China International Import Expo with the opening of our dual-branded hotel in Hongqiao. Through heartfelt Asian hospitality, we aim to create the ‘Finest Service Window’ that reflects Shangri-La Group’s long-term commitment to Shanghai’s economic development and to advancing the national strategy of Yangtze River Delta integration,” said Chris Tung, Group Chief Marketing Officer and China Chief Executive Officer, Shangri-La Group.
The dual-branded property offers two distinct yet complementary experiences: timeless Shangri-La luxury and smart, tech-enabled stays by Traders – all under one roof. With direct connectivity to Terminal 2 of Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport, the high-speed rail station and the city’s metro network, the hotel provides seamless access to downtown Shanghai and key cities across the broader Yangtze River Delta including Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing, all reachable within an hour.
