MARRIOTT International, Inc. has announced the highly anticipated opening of JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Fengxian, marking the historic 50th Marriott hotel to open in Shanghai. Located on Hangzhou Bay in the city’s Fengxian seaside district, the new hotel promises to be a sophisticated and luxurious sanctuary designed to let guests relax and rediscover a sense of balance of mind and body, as well as to serve as a convenient gateway to Shanghai and nearby cities.

Fengxian is a suburban district south of Shanghai known for its rustic beachfront areas, a national forest park and the old town itself, and is a popular weekend destination for Shanghai residents. JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Fengxian overlooks the nearby Jianhai Lake, a wetland that connects the Huangpu River with the East Sea.

Designed by the international design company PLD, the hotel’s style narrative is inspired by its natural surroundings, with its exterior imagined as the legendary bird Roc. The design elements also incorporate natural materials such as wood and marble in undulating, curvilinear forms that reflect the waves of the nearby East Sea. The hotel’s 265 guestrooms and suites offer luxurious comfort in restful shades of sable and blue, echoing the beaches and sea with clean modern lines, and provides every thoughtful amenity for guests’ comfort and convenience.

Dining options at JW Marriott Hotel Shanghai Fengxian include three distinctive restaurants and a bar. The all-day dining outlet JW Kitchen offers a tempting menu of local and international dishes at live cooking stations. The fine dining restaurant Yan Xuan serves Cantonese and Shanghainese delicacies paired with fragrant Chinese teas. The hotel’s signature restaurant Shanghai Crab & Co. has tanks filled with fresh crustaceans and a menu featuring its signature boiled king crab and seafood towers. Throughout the day, guests can relax as they linger in the Lobby Lounge.

For flexible meetings and special gatherings, the hotel features fully equipped conference facilities, with intuitive service that is the hallmark of The JW Treatment. A spacious executive lounge is an ideal spot to catch up with work while contemplating the surrounding natural scenery. The hotel also offers a spa, a 24-hour fitness center and a 25-meter heated infinity swimming pool, and a Kid’s Club along with the brand’s signature Family by JW program.(SD News)
