Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore is a five-star deluxe hotel located on Orange Grove Road, off Orchard Road, in Singapore.[1]

Opened on 23 April 1971, the hotel is Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts' first hotel property.[2] The hotel has 792 guestrooms and suites,[3] as well as 127 serviced apartments, which require a minimum stay of six nights to be booked, along with 55 condominium units which necessitate longer stays of at least three months.[4][5]

The hotel hosts the annual meeting of the Shangri-La Dialogue,[6] described by the International Institute of Strategic Studies as "Asia's premier defence summit".[7] In 2015, the hotel was the venue for a historic meeting between the People's Republic of China's paramount leader Xi Jinping and the Republic of China's President Ma Ying-jeou; this was the first meeting between the leaders of Mainland China and Taiwan since the 1949 Chinese Communist Revolution.[8]

Tower Wing

[edit]

The Tower Wing, which opened in 1971, is the hotel's main wing; it houses the deluxe rooms, executive rooms, Horizon Club rooms, and Horizon Premier Suite.[9] Additionally, the majority of the dining outlets in the hotel are located in the Tower Wing.

Garden Wing

[edit]

The Garden Wing, located within the hotel's 15 acres of landscaped gardens, opened in 1978. It houses 158 guestrooms and suites, all of which are fitted with balconies.[10]

In 2011, the Garden Wing closed for renovation and reopened on 31 May 2012[10] after eight months of renovation which cost S$68 million.

Valley Wing

[edit]

The Valley Wing was the last of the hotel's three wings to be completed, opening in 1985. Shangri-La Singapore describes it as "the accommodation of choice" for heads of states, business executives, and luxury travellers.[11]

The Shangri-La Dialogue

[edit]

The IISS Asia Security Summit: The Shangri-La Dialogue, also simply known as the "Shangri-La Dialogue", is an annual "Track One" inter-governmental security forum held by the International Institute for Strategic Studies; it is attended by defence officials from primarily Asia-Pacific states, including all 10 ASEAN member states, the United States, China and more. The summit has been held at the Shangri-La Hotel since 2002.

Trump-Kim Summit special event area

[edit]

On 3 June 2018, in preparation for the Trump–Kim summit, a "special event area" was declared around the hotel and Capella Singapore. Extra security measures were in force from 10 to 14 June 2018.[12]
