Fresh, modern, engaging and
user-friendly are the words that best
describe Swissôtel Hotels & Resorts’
new website. The international hotel
group gave its site an overhaul,
trading its former all-black look for
a lighter palette, larger images and
better navigation. There’s also virtual
tours, maps and details on how
to get to each hotel, an integrated
booking process, and login access to
the Swissôtel Circle loyalty program.
All deluxe hotels within the group
are presented in depth, with detailed
information and travel tips for every
destination.

LIVE THE SUITE LIFE
IN SHANGHAI
The Langham Xintiandi Shanghai recently
unveiled its crown jewels: the Chairman and
Presidential Suites. Both perched atop the
hotel, on Level 28, they’re designed for those
who want the VVIP treatment. The Chairman
Suite is a sumptuous 345m
2
living space
spread over two floors, offering the ultimate
in elegant décor and indulgent amenities. To
get there, you’ll take an elevator directly to
the top floor where you can check in either in
the privacy of the suite or The Langham Club
lounge. You will then be treated to a grand
visual welcome with lush greenery at the
light-filled bamboo atrium, spectacular 180˚
views of the Shanghai skyline, and

renowned Chinese artist Feng Xiao Ming.
Adjacent to the Chairman Suite is the
Presidential Suite, which offers 180m
2
of
contemporary ambience. The one-bedroom
suite features a separate mezzanine level, full
service kitchen and dining room that seats
eight, and flat-screen TVs in the lounge and
bedroom. But it’s the breathtaking views of
Xintiandi and the city skyline from the suite’s
full-length windows that will truly impress.
Guests of both the Chairman and Presidential
Suites have a 24-hour butler on hand to
anticipate their every need.
In addition, the hotel has launched three
Langham Suites and 18 Parlour Suites —
smaller but still amazing spaces where one
can relax in unrivalled luxury.
