Legendary Hospitality around the world

The Shangri-La story began in 1971 with our first deluxe hotel in Singapore.

Inspired by the legendary land featured in James Hilton's 1933 novel, Lost Horizon, the name Shangri-La encapsulates the serenity and service for which our hotels and resorts are renowned worldwide. Today, Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts is Asia Pacific's leading luxury hotel group. We are also regarded as one of the world’s finest hotel ownership and management companies. Owning and/or managing over 100 hotels and resorts throughout Asia Pacific, North America, the Middle East and Europe, the Shangri-La group has a room inventory of over 40,000. In addition, new hotels are under development in Australia, Bahrain, mainland China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia and Saudi Arabia.

Our leadership team brings a wealth of experience and expertise from different industries to chart new frontiers for the Group. They adopt a disciplined approach as part of an enterprise-wide risk management and governance framework. Our leaders are committed to taking a long-term view.

OUR HERITAGE An Asian Hospitality Icon

Robert Kuok’s travel experiences in some of the finest hotels in Europe served as the blueprint for the first Shangri-La Hotel. He wanted it to be of high quality with a balance of aesthetics and functionality. In terms of hospitality, he was unwavering that every stranger be warmly welcomed as a friend.

Some 50 years on, the Group continues to deliver on this promise of bringing exceptional customer experience and service to any guest walking through its doors.

Over the years, the Shangri-La Group has earned a special place in people's heart. We have had the privilege of witnessing history being made as well as to play a part in history. As the venue for many historic events – local and global – we take as much pride and joy in hosting dignitaries and celebrities as we do in celebrating those significant life moments with families and individuals. We remain a favourite with locals and foreigners – a well-loved Asian icon.

Shangri-La Academy 2020

PEOPLE AND CULTURE Culture of Thoughtful Service

It is in our nature to look after people, to anticipate their needs and to care for them. We value the deep bonds and emotional connections we have with our guests and colleagues. These ties and the strong sense of belonging continue to bring people back to us time and again.

Our culture of thoughtful service is embodied in our people as they engage and interact with customers and with each other every day. They know instinctively what it means to delight our guests and to deliver hospitality from the heart. Not only are they motivated to give of their best, they bring the Shangri-La magic to life.

We owe our success to the dedication and commitment of our people. Their authenticity and passion to serve our customers and to relate on a personal level have made us an undisputed leader in Asian hospitality.

As we expand our footprint and grow as a company, we are committed to bring value to our people by realising their potential. We aim to work together with them to fulfil their professional aspirations along every step of their career.
