The Concentration District of Hotels Coming into Being in Lujiazui
In the area of Pudong Lujiazui within these two years, six high star-grade hotels will also be open for business. Among them, Qilu Wanyi Grand Hotel of Shanghai, the Red Pagoda Grand Hotel of Shanghai and the Good Friend Mansion have signed contracts with the American Wanhao International Group Company, the American Hildawoo Group Company and the American Hilton Group Company. A brand new hotel concentration district, getting together numerous hotel management companies with the international well-known brands, is coming into being in Lujiazui of Pudong.
At present, the total number of hotels in Pudong is nearly about fifty. The total number of guestrooms has surpassed 7,000. Ten of them belong to the hotels with four-star or five-star levels. The international hotel management companies of the American Hyatt, Shangri-La, the Spanish Barcelo, the American Bass, the Japanese Nikko, and the French Yagao etc. have invested and have been managing the high star-grade hotels of Jin Mao Hyatt, Shangri-La, and the International Convention Center etc.
As a high-grade hotel with the world stature, Jin Mao Grand Hyatt Hotel will undoubtedly become the new trade symbol of hotels in Shanghai. The overall foundation of Pudong exploitation has already become more and more perfect. The farmland with interlacing footpaths in the former days and low houses disappeared. In so short a time of several years, a district with hotels spread and strewn all over the place has come into being in Lujiazui of Pudong New Area. In the past, Shanghai New Asia Tomson Grand Hotel, invested and built up by the joint adventure of Shanghai and Hong Kong, was the first five-star Hotel of Pudong and filled up the blank at that time that there was no high-grade hotels to receive foreign guests in Pudong. Soon afterwards, the Management Group Company of Shangri-La Hotels, having the world reputation, invested and constructed its twelfth Shangri-La Grand Hotel beside Riverside Boulevard, looking at the West Bund opposite the Huangpu River. Nowadays, "a sudden spring night wind has blown and encouraged flowers in full blooms." Tong Mao Grand Hotel, Pudong Holiday Inn, China Petroleum Grand Hotel, Purple Mountain Grand Hotel etc. have appeared here and there. Beginning from zero, the high-grade hotels in Pudong have developed more and more in number and emerged various in styles and colorful in profusion.
