Sukhothai moves to Shanghai
Scheduled to open in March, The Sukhothai Shanghai is all set to offer businessmen and private citizens a multi-function event space with first-class service.
Located in the shopping hotspot of West Nanjing and Shimen Yi roads, The Sukhothai Shanghai is a contemporary hotel featuring 170 well-appointed guestrooms and 31 suites ranging from 44 to 172 square metres, five inspiring lifestyle dining venues serving authentic modern cuisines and artisanal beverages, a state-of-the-art fitness studio complete with a 25-metre heated indoor pool, and a spa specialising in revitalising wellness programmes.
Design by world-renowned practice Neri & Hu, the Grand Shanghai Ballroom comes with six multi-purpose function rooms occupying a floor area of 450 square metres, perfect for all scales of social and corporate events, conferences and exhibitions.
The interior design captures the spirit of modern simplicity featuring oak wood panels and natural silk fabric in muted green, lending it a stylish yet inviting ambience. The 300 square-metre ballroom can be divided into three sections, with one able to command natural daylight, while the two adjoining hospitality rooms serve as breakout areas or holding rooms for speakers and presenters.
The pillar-free open space can comfortably host banquets of up to 250 guests and approximately 350 guests for cocktail receptions and is equipped with the latest technology such as multiple Tannoy 8-inch dual ceiling speakers and subwoofers for full-range quality acoustics, three high-definition LCD projectors and three five-metre widescreen monitors to create immersive visual effect, as well as state-of-the-art lighting operated with iPad master control in a single button.
The six flexible function rooms are also equipped with 65-inch or 85-inch widescreen display with sound bar. All meeting facilities provide 100MB high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity to ensure uninterrupted video conferences, live streaming and the adoption of advanced technology to deliver interactive and fully-immersive experience.
Guests can socialise over refreshments or cocktails at The Meeting Point before the event or between sessions. The Pantry is a new concept made available to all event delegates as a place of relaxation, rejuvenation and refreshment. Guests can enjoy gourmet coffee and teas, freshly squeezed fruit juices and soft drinks, along with a sumptuous selection of savoury canapes and sweet treats.
