Scheduled to open in 2011, Sofitel Luxury Hotels has recently signed for a new flagship in Shanghai - Sofitel Shanghai Jing’an. This will be the fourth Sofitel in Shanghai and is set to be one of the city’s most luxurious hotels with an iconic building design.

Ideally located in the center of the city, Sofitel Shanghai Jing’an will stand at the intersection of Beijing Road and Jiangning Road, a mere step away from the famous Nanjing Road. Near the former French concession, museums and the Shanghai convention center, the building also has a number of floors with the most advanced office space, which offer the perfect solutions for local enterprises or multi-national corporations.

"We are particularly excited to welcome this genuine flagship to the Sofitel Luxury Hotels network. Sofitel Shanghai Jing’an, with its excellent location, will be a valuable asset for our brand both in China and abroad. After recent additions including the Sofitel Wanda Beijing, this will be one more jewel in a country where Sofitel Luxury Hotels already has a strong presence," says Markland Blaiklock, Senior Vice President, Sofitel Luxury Hotels Asia Pacific.
