Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts, the brand needs no introduction. The concept of the first Shangri-La hotel was inspired by Robert Kuok’s travel experiences in some of the finest hotels in Europe. He wanted a suitable combination of quality, aesthetics and functionality and wanted every stranger to feel like a friend in the hotel. Fifty years later, the Group is still standing firm on its basics, ensuring every guest who walks through the doors feels at home away from home. Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts are located at prime locations in the Asia Pacific, North America, the Middle East, and Europe. The brand follows the mantra "To treat a stranger as one of our own" for their guests.
In order to stand on its promise of providing remarkable service to the guests, the Group has taken stern steps in the line of the safety and wellbeing of the guests as the pandemic trails. The chain has been closely observing the World Health Organisation’s guidelines and those of local health authorities to make every move cautiously and assure the guests that their safety is of supreme importance to it. The commitment of “Shangri-La Cares” establishes the caring spirit of the brand and guides its constant efforts to ensure the well-being and comfort of guests and staff alike.
The Group makes it a cardinal point to take care of its guests. The teams at the hotels are provided with comprehensive training and certification programmes enabling them to tackle any situation on the premises. Apart from these, strict protocols for sanitisation, hygiene, temperature screening and disinfection has been put in place. The rules adhering to these protocols are also in place for meeting and events. The body temperature of each guest is recorded on arrival as a precautionary measure. All AV equipment are thoroughly sanitised after every use, and event room floorplans and seating capacity are adjusted to comply with the safe distancing guidelines.
Shangri-La believes that a perfect event is not organised; it is designed. With that concept in mind, the brand goes a mile extra to create a space for genuine engagement and impactful experiences. It has introduced “Experience It”, the team-building event’s philosophy to immerse and inspire.
