Shanghai to build a seven-star hotel?

Xintiandi wants to build a seven-star hotel comparable to Dubai.

This luxury hotel group, which has the only seven-star hotel in Dubai, has extended its reach to China.

■ In 2008, we will manage a super five-star hotel tentatively named "Hantang" in Shanghai.

With Hurun Report holding a tourism exhibition in Shanghai, BurjAlArab, a world-famous luxury hotel group, came to Shanghai. This is the second appearance of Jumeirah Group in Shanghai in just three months.

Jumeirah frequently appears in Shanghai, not only to attract customers for the Sailing Hotel, but also because the group has taken China as an important area for business expansion. In 2008, a super five-star luxury hotel in Shanghai New World will be managed by the Group. The hotel was originally named "Hantang Hotel", which is the ninth luxury hotel managed by the group. It is reported that the group plans to expand substantially in recent years. Besides going overseas, Beijing and Guangzhou will become Jumeirah's next targets in China.

Jumeirah is unfamiliar to many tourists. But when it comes to the only seven-star hotel in Dubai, the Sailing Hotel, many people are familiar with it. Sailing Hotel is one of the hotels in Jumeirah. In this tourism exhibition, Jumeirah Group also took the seven-star hotel as its biggest selling point, and the yacht modeling atlas of the hotel was put in the most conspicuous position.

The sailboat has 56 floors and the height is 32 1 m.

How luxurious is the sailing hotel? A related person from Jumeirah Group said that this building looks like a sailing boat-shaped building from a distance, with a total of 56 floors and a height of 32 1 m. Because the hotel is modeled by sails, there are water-related themes everywhere in the hotel. As soon as you enter the hotel door, there will be different water spraying methods from time to time, each of which is carefully designed. It takes about 15 ~ 20 minutes to change the water spraying method.

Hotel rooms are all composed of duplex suites, the smallest room is 170 square meter presidential suite, with a total of 202 suites. The most luxurious suite is the 780m2 Royal Suite, located on the 25th floor of the hotel. There is a cinema, two bedrooms, two living rooms and a dining room. There is a dedicated elevator in and out, and all the paintings hanging on the wall are original. Every time you enter the room, a housekeeper will explain to you how to use all the high-tech facilities in the room.

It is reported that only 40 tons of gold was used in the hotel decoration, and its luxury is amazing. The interior of the hotel is full of "gold", not to mention furniture, even door handles, toilet pipes and even a post-it note.

Going to the hotel restaurant can "go to the sea"

The restaurant in the hotel is even more incredible: the seafood ingredients used in the AI-Mahara seafood restaurant are the freshest seafood captured by the hotel for customers in the deep sea. It's an unforgettable experience for guests to eat here ― you have to pick them up by submarine. From the hotel lobby to the AI-Mahara seafood restaurant, although the voyage is only 3 minutes, it has entered a magical underwater world, with bright tropical fish swimming around on both sides of the submarine. Sitting in a comfortable dining room chair, looking around the glass window, corals and marine fish form a flowing scene. There is also a restaurant in the air. Guests only need to take the express elevator to reach the AI-Mahara restaurant, which stands 200 meters above the Arabian Gulf, in 33 seconds. This restaurant adopts a space-like design, which makes people feel like entering the space world.

Outside the building, there is an apron for helicopters to take off and land. Guests can even ask the hotel to send a helicopter to pick them up. During the 15 minute flight, the guests took the lead to have a bird's eye view of Dubai, and then the helicopter landed slowly on the helipad of the hotel.

Hotel prices are also "luxurious"

Of course, the price of the sailing hotel can also be called "luxury": the lowest is $65,438 +0.600, and the highest is $65,438 +0.800. Even tourists have to pay $200 each.

Surprisingly, China employees in the Sailing Hotel actually account for 65,438+00% to 20% of the total employees. Johnny, senior sales manager of Jumeirah Group, said that since China is one of the top ten tourist countries of sailing hotels, China employees can provide better services to guests from China. The source also revealed that many tourists from Europe and America will spend $200 to visit the whole hotel, but relatively few China guests visit the hotel, and China guests often stay directly.

The hotel operating in Shanghai is tentatively named "Han Tang"

With the huge potential of China market and the hosting of Expo 20 10, many international hotel giants set their sights on Shanghai. Relevant persons of the Group revealed to reporters that Jumeirah has cooperated with Hong Kong Ruian Group, the developer of Xintiandi, to develop an ultra-luxury hotel in Xintiandi that is comparable to the Dubai project. The Chinese name is tentatively set as "Hantang Hotel".

For the investment amount and planning and design of Hantang Hotel, relevant people said it was inconvenient to elaborate. However, Jumeirah Group's information claims that "every hotel occupies a prime location in a top city, and all hotels try to show the characteristics of their region". Judging from the existing hotel styles in Jumeirah, there are both modern-style hotels located in international metropolises and Arabian Peninsula-style resort hotels. According to relevant sources, the "Hantang Hotel" in Xintiandi will definitely reflect the regional characteristics, but how to reflect the regional characteristics of Shanghai or China is still unknown.

In fact, Jumeirah's tentacles are likely to extend to Beijing and Guangzhou.

Most of the "Dubai Tour" in Shanghai are high-end customers.

As one of the important symbols of Dubai, the Sailing Hotel has become a popular attraction for many tourists. The reporter learned from Shanghai Travel Agency yesterday that the current route to Africa or some European countries needs to transfer in Dubai, and the transfer time is usually more than 5 hours. Therefore, Dubai tour is one of the contents of the travel agency's route design. At the end of this year, China Southern Airlines will also open the "Beijing-Dubai-Lagos" route, giving China tourists another way to Dubai.

However, Liu Xiaojun, deputy general manager of Shanghai Youth Travel Marketing Center, said that among the tourists received by the travel agency, not many made a special trip to the sailing hotel, and only those who directly requested to stay would go, which coincides with Jumeirah Group's statement. It is reported that these guests are all high-end guests.
