Kerry Hotel Pudong: memorable experiences start here

A visit to Shanghai should be an unforgettable experience. No one can make that happen better than the Kerry Hotel Pudong in Shanghai.

“In keeping with Kerry Hotels’ brand DNA, we are all about creating memorable experiences, enabling our guests to enjoy a luxury balance between work and leisure,” says Gregor Wateler, the hotel’s general manager.

The hotel, an lifestyle brand of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, is located adjacent to Shanghai New International Expo Center in the heart of the Pudong New Area. It is an unparalleled venue for meetings, conferences, exhibitions or incentive trips, offering delegates a breezy, fresh environment for relaxing and recharging.

Guestrooms are spacious and stylishly designed, with many offering breathtaking views of Century Park. Minibar snacks are provided free, and two bottles of beer are provided in each room at no extra charge. Guests staying on Club floors can enjoy butler and exclusive Club concierge service.

Such a high level of service points to one fact: the Kerry Hotel is more than just a place to stay. Rather, it’s an experience and a venue where people of all ages can come together to socialize, dine and indulge themselves.

The hotel has devoted 8,500 square meters to banquet and conference facilities, the largest mix of such amenities in Shanghai. Twenty-six multi-purpose rooms and two ballrooms cater to conferences, meetings and parties.

The hotel has already made a splash on the Shanghai scene. Basketball superstar Yao Ming announced his retirement in the hotel. He’s not alone among high-profile people and companies choosing the facilities to highlight landmark events, some catering to more than 1,000 guests.

The hotel’s professional event planning team stands ready to help ensure that every detail is perfect, from the folding of the napkins to the presentation of exquisite cuisine.

For the coming July and August summer season, the hotel is offering a comprehensive package for full-day conferences. It includes full provisions for two coffee or tea breaks, a choice of Chinese or Western luncheons, and even fruit cocktails and iced tea to lend cool refreshment.

The hotel also offers the Dome, an inflatable structure that can accommodate up to 250 people. Its special fabric allows for projection and lighting effects from both inside and out. This unique atmosphere, which can be set up in just five hours, provides an ambiance that never fails to impress. Air conditioning is, of course, available so that no event is marred by excess heat.

When heat is no concern, a 700-square-meter rooftop provides a delightful poolside environment for cocktail receptions, barbecues and other outdoor events.

The Kerry Hotel’s gym is one of the best in Shanghai, utilizing Star Trac equipment and offering more than 50 classes a week -- from group training sessions to personalized exercise programs. For groups attending conferences at the hotel, a customized team-building exercise program is provided. The 25-meter pool is idea for lap swimmers, and a a separate children’s pool area features a small fountain and play equipment.

Children simply can’t get bored at Kerry Hotel. There is an Adventure Zone, a 700-square-meter indoor play and recreation center. It is decorated in bright colors, with fairy tale scenes depicted on the walls. French windows take full advantage of natural light. It is a zone where children can spend hours alone or with friends just plain having fun.

An unforgettable experience can’t happen without food that thrills the palate. The hotel offers an array of dining experiences tailored to every taste — from contemporary pub-style food to Western and Asian cuisine.

Kerry Hotel is proud of what it has to offer visitors and never forgets that making memories is its most important pursuit.
