Second Waldorf Astoria in Shanghai.
Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan has opened its doors by the Huangpu River in Pudong’s Qiantan District, the second Shanghai address for the luxury brand.
Serviced by a car elevator, the 737-sqm ballroom has a capacity for 470 banquet guests, or 564 in theatre layout.
A sculptural marble spiral staircase connects to the function floor, forming a commanding backdrop for business meetings.
For small- to mid-size gatherings, planners may choose from eight venues with natural light. The five meeting rooms range from 28 sqm to 130 sqm, with capacity for 21 to 96 guests in theatre-style seating. Meanwhile, there are two function rooms at 80 sqm and 87 sqm, which can each hold 60 guests. Board meetings for groups of up to 21 are also possible in the board room.
Waldorf Astoria Shanghai Qiantan features 204 guest rooms and suites, many of which come with large balconies. Some balconies also include outdoor jacuzzis.
Guests also have access to a 25-metre indoor pool and a 24-hour fitness centre.
