Four Seasons, a name synonymous with luxury in the hospitality industry, is set to mark its presence in China's bustling metropolis, Shanghai. In collaboration with Fungseng Prosperity Holdings, the Canada-based hospitality giant has announced plans for a new opulent hotel, slated to open doors in 2027.
A Skyscraping Marvel: Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai
This forthcoming property, the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai, is a testament to architectural grandeur. Rising 44 stories high, it will house 160 rooms and suites, each designed to offer the quintessential Four Seasons experience. The hotel's strategic location along Huaihai Zhong Road in the Huangpu district of Puxi positions it perfectly at the heart of Shanghai's vibrant shopping, dining, and entertainment hub. This area is celebrated for its unique blend of contemporary creativity and historical Art Deco architecture, offering guests a taste of Shanghai's rich cultural tapestry.
A Strategic Collaboration
The partnership between Four Seasons and Fungseng Prosperity Holdings is more than just a business venture; it's a strategic move to bolster the luxury hotel brand’s footprint in Shanghai. William Wai-hoi Doo, chairman of Fungseng Prosperity Holdings, expressed pride in this collaboration, highlighting Shanghai's allure as a destination that beautifully marries its historic charm with a dynamic, modern vibe.
Harmonising Luxury with Local Flavour
The design and architecture of the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai promise to be as impressive as its location. Renowned architects Ricardo Bofill and P&T Group have lent their expertise to this project, while the interiors will bear the signature elegance of Jean-Michel Gathy from DENNISTON. A notable feature of the property will be the restored traditional Shikumen lane houses at its base, adding a touch of local heritage. The hotel will also feature a top-tier seafood restaurant, aligning with Shanghai's culinary prestige.
A World of Amenities
Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai is set to offer an array of amenities. Alongside 7,212 square feet of meeting and event space, the hotel will also boast 7,438 square feet of comprehensive wellness facilities. These features are tailored to cater to both business and leisure travelers, ensuring a stay that is both productive and rejuvenating.
A New Chapter in Shanghai's Luxury Hospitality
Bart Carnahan, President of Global Business Development, Portfolio Management, and Residential at Four Seasons, shared his enthusiasm for the project. He emphasized that Four Seasons' return to Shanghai is set to introduce a new dimension to luxury hospitality in the city, capturing its vibrant character. With a keen focus on the growing importance of Shanghai in the luxury travel market, this new establishment is poised to become a landmark destination for discerning travelers.
In summary, the Four Seasons Hotel Shanghai is not just another addition to the city's skyline. It's a promise of luxury, comfort, and an immersive experience into the heart of one of the world's most dynamic cities.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation is setting its sights on nearly doubling its footprint in India, planning to reach 100 properties within the next 5-6 years. With India's hospitality market growing at an unprecedented rate, this ambitious target reflects Hyatt's dedication to catering to the surging demand for high-quality travel experiences across the country.
Currently, Hyatt operates 52 hotels in Southwest Asia (50 in India and two in Nepal) under nine distinct brands, having already crossed the 10,000-key milestone. “With our strong pipeline and strategic growth initiatives, we are confident that we will achieve the milestone of 100 hotels within the next 5-6 years,” stated Sunjae Sharma, Managing Director for India & Southwest Asia at Hyatt Hotels Corporation. This growth is part of Hyatt’s focused strategy, aiming to tap into India's expanding travel and hospitality market by delivering personalized, luxury, and lifestyle-focused experiences.
The expansion will see Hyatt introduce more global brands to India while reinforcing its core brands, such as Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Place, and Hyatt Centric. The company also recently introduced the ‘Grand Showroom’ at Grand Hyatt Mumbai, an innovative venture designed to enhance hyper-personalized guest experiences and showcase Hyatt’s diverse hospitality offerings.
In line with its expansion goals, Hyatt has slated Hyatt Regency properties in Kasauli and Ghaziabad and Hyatt Place hotels in Aurangabad and Haridwar. Expanding into new countries, Hyatt Place Dhaka Uttara will soon open in Bangladesh, and India will welcome The Unbound Collection in Bhopal in 2025, reflecting the brand’s increasing regional diversity.
Hyatt's growth strategy in India aligns with what the company calls the “LLLLW” approach: loyalty, luxury, leisure, lifestyle, and wellness. "India is among Hyatt Hotels' top global growth markets, and we see tremendous potential for continued expansion in this region," said Sharma. This approach allows Hyatt to meet evolving guest preferences, solidifying India’s position as a key growth market for Hyatt globally.
The company's expansion goals are further supported by the ongoing growth in both domestic and international tourism in India. With a robust demand for luxury and wellness experiences, Hyatt remains optimistic about India's rising position in their global market rankings, with continued development and innovation on the horizon.
