128-story Shanghai Tower will house luxury hotel

Shanghai’s latest development, the ‘Shanghai Tower’, is set to reach new heights upon its completion in 2014.

Already it is claimed it will be the tallest building in China. The 128-storey development will tower 632-metres over the city’s Pudong district and house a luxury hotel, with an unnamed hotel operator, comprising 53,000 sq meters.

The tower will be situated in a 10,000-meter open green space, and offer 360-degree views of the city.

Shanghai Tower hopes to be awarded LEED certified for its many green features including a double wall to conserve energy and use natural sunlight, wind turbines near the top of the building to generate electricity, and a special device to collect rainwater for HVAC use.

Developed by the Shanghai Tower Construction and Development, the tower is expected to be completed by 2014.

Shanghai Tower will be located next to two other super-tall buildings, the 421-meter Jin Mao and the 492-meter World Financial Center.

St. Regis Shanghai voted among the world’s best 500 Hotels

The St. Regis Shanghai has been named by Travel and Leisure in its 2009 January issue as one of the ‘500 World’s Best Hotels’ and Shanghai’s number one  hotel.

With only seven hotels in Shanghai included on the list, The St. Regis Shanghai received the highest rating, scoring an overall 88.70.

The brief introduction to the hotel in the magazine details some of The St. Regis’ award winning services and describes the hotel as an ‘elegant red-granite building in Pudong, with ultra-personal services (thanks to the white-gloved butlers) and some of the most spacious standard rooms in town.’

The brand plans to expand globally.

The St. Regis brand was founded over a century ago by John Jacob Astor with the landmark St. Regis Hotel. John Jacob Astor (born Johann Jakob or Johann Jacob Astor) (July 17, 1763–March 29, 1848) was the first prominent member of the Astor family and the first multi-millionaire in the United States. He was the creator of the first trust in America, from which he made his fortune in fur trading, real estate, and opium.
